Netgear's 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card offers speeds up to nearly five times faster than widely deployed IEEE 802.11b wireless networks found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the globe. It works with devices that are compatible with both the 802.11b and 802.11g draft wireless standards to keep you connected today and tomorrow.

Put it in your notebook PC and no matter where you are, at home, at the office, at the airport or in other public access areas, this versatile adapter automatically selects the best connection available, giving you constant access to corporate resources, e-mail, and the Internet. Use it to quickly network employees, saving the time and expense of Ethernet cabling. Easy to set up and use with Netgear's Install Wizard, the PC Card auto-selects the best available connection and adapts the settings to match. And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you can rest assured that your wireless network communications are private.

Fully IEEE 802.11b (2.4 GHz) compliant for wireless network access from your notebook PC, this PC Card has both standards built in, so you can connect your notebook to existing 802.11b infrastructure, and also to the high-speed networks based on the 802.11g specification. Dynamic rate shifting according to environmental conditions achieves the fastest possible connections.

The Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card supports office roaming for notebook PC users for shared broadband Internet access and resources, and provides maximum mobility from home, the office, the airport, and other public access areas. And the Netgear Wireless LAN Manager lets you create profiles that reflect specific WLAN settings for each place you travel.

The PC Card comes with a 3-year warranty and it compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.

Product Description

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.

Works better than most others.......2007-06-03

I've learned a while back that the wireless connection is more temperamental then wired and the signal a lot weaker and more prone to interruptions. This pretty much is a fact regardless of which adapter you put in and the difference between a B and G is almost unnoticeable. The netgear is one of a few that is backward compatible with older operating systems. I use it on an older Sony laptop running WIN 98 and the connection is good most of the times. Hard to beat it for the price.

Great Wireless.......2007-05-30

If you own the Netgear router for this card so that your network supports MIMO then you are going to love this card. I had some issues with the software until I realized that I needed to bypass the setup CD and get the drivers on the internet to resolve many issues. After I got it up and running then I've been gettin 108Mps through out the house on both floors and every corner. I was using a linksys before, but the MIMO seems to be the place to be until they get the "N" technology out in the market full force.

The Best Service.......2007-05-07

I really like the fast, prompt, and couteous Service that I recieved.

I have never had any problems with product........2007-04-06

This has worked very well for me. I have no frame of reference as to how a different model might work in comparison, but this model always worked perfectly.

Weak Signal.......2007-03-31

Don't know if it's the card or the wireless router but have a weak room-to-room signal. Changing channels on wireless router and doing a router upgrade as offered by Netgear tech support did not help. Tech suppport did offer additional phone support which I have not pursued.
