Netgear WG511T Super G 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card

Rating:
Summary: As advertised
Review: I purchased the card with the Netgear WGT624 Super G 108 Mbps Wireless Router. My laptop is a Dell Inspirion PII (3yrs old). No problems whatsoever, speed as advertised. The card also stays relatively cool to the touch. The range is also fantastic.
I don't know if it is attributable to the router, card or both. Who cares? I now have a great wireless combo to last me until the next better and faster (relatively inexpensive) protocall is available.

Summary: Great Product and Range
Review: I'm a newbe to the wireless arena. I purchased a netgear accesspoint wg602 and the wg511T on a laptop. It was simple and 30 minute set up, I was up and running. Great range from all areas and never any drops or problems. I highly recommend these 2 products.

Summary: Like a champ
Review: I've seen some negative reviews of this card on other sites, but I can't seem to find a thing wrong with it. I purchased this card with the WGT624 and have had nothing but a great experience with it. Distance is great, stability, speed and features work as advertised. I'm thinking about getting another one for my wife as well. Great product!!

Summary: Great 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card
Review: My entire wireless network is now made up of Netgear components and this card works great just like the rest of them.
The main feature I like about the card is its ability to operate at 108 Mbps with my WGT634U router (in 108 Auto mode) while still allowing my other notebooks to operate at their 54 Mbps maximum.
The supplied software is just as great as the version that came with my Netgear WAG511 card. So setup and security was a snap.
I am using the card primarily on a KDS laptop running Windows Me (I know) which is a small wonder in its own right. It runs great without any problems or blue screens (knock wood).
From time to time, I use the card in my Dell Inspiron 8100 running Windows XP Professional. I have to interchange it with a Xircom NIC/Modem card I'm using though but still no major issues in doing so.
I originally got the WAG511 card because of its dual band a/b/g capibilities but it only achieved 108 with my router in 108 only mode which would not allow my other 54 cards to function. Hopefully, Netgear will release a new driver for 108 auto support like that of this WG511T card.

Summary: Works excellent in Debian Linux box
Review: My use of the card has been limited to wireless connections at places like Starbucks and airports, which is regular 802.1b at 54 Mbps, I believe. Within the limited use, my experience with the card has been only pleasing. Although I use the card with Debian Linux, the installation was as easy as it gets thanks to MADWiFi (see http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/). A bit of kernel configuration (enabling standard kernel options for wireless, pcmcia, etc.), apt-getting deb packages pcmcia-cs and wireless-tools, and updating /etc/network/interfaces as usual got it working for me.

I had another wifi card (PCI) on my desktop, and that one (Linksys) was a [...], though. The key for finding hardware for a Linux box is really relying on other people's experience (tons of them on the web) and to get the one that's supported well by an open source project. This one is.

Summary: BEST WIRELESS ROUTER ANY SPEED
Review: Replaced a Linksys BEFW11S4 802.11b with NETGEAR WGT264 108Mbs
in a concrete and steel building that I literally had very little coverage in. Easy setup of NETGEAR 108, less than 15 minutes with 4 computers and 2 network printers in series with NETGEAR FS605 5 port router. I am set to 108 only with WG511T cards in laptops and have 5 times the coverage I had with Linksys. I am on a state highway with a Dunkin Donuts on the other side of the highway and I can sit there and listen to streaming music from Itunes website, I estimate 60 yards, wow.
Works like it should, drops to 96, than 54, than 32 I haven't dropped below 16Mbps. Has been on line now 3 days and hasn't
dropped out.If it makes a difference I set it not to broadcast the SSID. This is at work, I am going to replace the Linksys at my house this weekend with a WGT264 my son has been complaining for a year that he loses connection with the Linksys I put at the wrong end of the house and didn't want to wire the
whole house again.
Definitely SUPER G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review: The WG511T is a great networking card. Pros are that it has Super G (108 Mbs) capability and that it installs easily with exisiting networks. Cons - none so far.

I bought the card to replace the Netgear MA401 802 11b card (11 Mbs) that was good, but doesn't have the speed or range that this card has. If you are thinking of having a wireless network 802 11g is the minimum speed you should consider (54 Mbs) - this is up to 5 times faster than the original 802 11b networks and allows you to stream music and photo files quickly. If you are considering playing wireless music stored on a hard drive this is the minimum speed to consider.

Buying the Super G WG511T card allows you the benefits of faster networking where it is available by paying a $10 to $15 dollar premium for the card over 802 11G cards. This card works well and has better range than other cards.

Summary: Crashed and burned
Review: This card caused many problems on my 1yr old laptop. My laptop would freeze completely several times a day. The card also caused windows XP to generate the blue screen of death during normal network activity. the problems were intermittent. sometimes it would run OK for a few hours, but I never got 10X faster than my old '11b stuff. So, I returned it along with the 108mbps router. good riddance.

Summary: Awesome speed, range, and features.
Review: This card is amazing. It works with 802.11b and 802.11g networks up to 108 mb/sec which is speeeedy fasst. The range is like three times as good as my old 802.11b network, and it is at least ten times as fast. It is easy to install and configure, and it looks nice. I have found no flaws. So buy it now.
