NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Successful wireless fidelity card
Comment: This card works great. It took me 30 minutes to install the software and get it running. It has great speed. The only issue it when connectivity is low it tends to disconnect and scan and you have to wait for it to reconnect. This can get annoying. Other than that it is a great card for a low price
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good bang-for-the-buck
Comment: I'm happy with this purchase. My very old laptop (HP Pavilion ZE4145) does not have WiFi built in and for the past two years, I've been using an Airlink 101 USB Wireless dongle. This PCMCIA card picks up more signals and is more secure on my laptop than any USB dongle could be. The software is ok, but I had difficulty entering a WEP password for use with my router. No problem, I just let Windoze control the card and it works exactly as I need.
In all, the card picks up weak signals, provides a solid physical connection to my laptop, and performs exactly as I had hoped.

Summary: Solid, but slow...
Comment: It's a reliable card, and for the price, you can't go wrong. By slow, I mean the bundled Netgear network "sniffing" software (program that finds and connects to networks) takes its sweet time connecting to a network. It took 30 seconds to connect to a Netgear router, while my Mac's AirPort Extreme connected in under 5 seconds. But the Netgear software was more reliable than the Windows supplied program on the ThinkPad it went into, so I guess you win some and lose some.

Summary: NetGear WG511

Editorial Review for NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card:
Netgear WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card - When using the Internet, you have the ability to freely roam websites with ease. However, accessing this vast network of information is still a wire-based affair. You must be at a fixed location, tethered to the wall, like a dog on a leash. Now with 802.11 wireless technology, that connection has been severed, allowing you to wirelessly access both the Internet, and other computers wherever you choose. This 802.11g PC Card fits into your laptop's PCMCIA slot, allowing it to connect to any 802.11g, or 802.11b wireless access point within range.
