Great product!

"I bought this product after weird behavior on my new Vista Ultimate PC was set up. I transferred my old Zyxel G PCI adapter to the new PC. From day one, the Zyxel was intermittent dropping the connection - I wasted a lot of time trying to fix the link. I ended up buying this Netgear and it was a dream come true. Instead of installing the PC, I downloaded the latest drivers from Netgear, installed them, then plu..." Read Full Review »

XP=Good Vista=Horrible

"Netgear usually makes solid SOHO products but with this line, for Vista users, you need to stay away. Installed this bundle on a XP box with no issues whatsoever. Solid 300Mbps from my Extreme-N D-Link gaming router @ 100ft. Vista.....totally different story. Driver update letter in the box points to Netgear[@] site but the driver on that site points to the XP/Vista download at the regualar Netgear site. This dr..." Read Full Review »

Good card, but beware

"I run all Netgear in my apartment. They are better then Linksys in my opinion. The only problem with the Netgear wireless cards is the conflict with the Atheros chip and the AMD processor. This will lock up the AMD computer fast. I haven't tested it on my Intel processor yet, but will soon. Before m …"  Read Full Review »

"WARNING to all "Netgear Rangemax Next" buyers! I Purchased this card, the WN311T & the WNR834B router last week. Both products are "Rangemax Next" wireless-N products, so you would reasonably infer that they are compatible at the Maximun speeds noted on the packaging of 300Mbps. After setting them u …"  Read Full Review »

"The directional 802.11n antenna sealed the deal for me. It and the card work great. Installation on Vista x64 was easy. The only problem I had was that the included software did not like the way my WEP key on my ''other company's access point'' was formatted. The easy solution for me was to let Vist …"  Read Full Review »
