Summary: What a nightmare!!
Review: This must be the worst product from Netgear which typically has fairly stable products. First of all I'd strongly recommend getting the latest firmware from netgear.To name a few things: 1- Very poor Range. I have a netgear PC card in a laptop sitting right next to ME101 and it showed a signal strength of 100% for a router 25 feet away, whereas the ME101 was totally blind. 2- After the firmware upgrade (V2.0 07/13/03) ME101 got some vision back with a very week (35%-40%) router signal. For some strange reason, I had to configure my router to broadcast its(router's) SSID before it can be detected by ME101. The laptop and PC wireless cards (also from netgear) automatically detect the router, but ME101 cannot, unless router is broadcasting its SSID. 3- Initially dropped the connection a little too frequently (re-scaning all the time) but its a little better now after the firmware upgrade. 4- Installation Guide/User manual is very week - again as compared to other Netgear products. On the whole I'd not recommend it unless you are a technical savy person and don't mind trying different things to make it work. Firmware upgrade is a must. Btw I am using a switch behind ME101 thus allowing my multiple physically wired PC's to use the wireless connection via ME101.
