great speed [Posted on 2007-11-02]
Works great in "Hot Spots" - always get a least 80% signal strength with 11Mbps conection, and in my home office with NETGEAR WG614 router/access point - within 50 metres 90-95% signal strength through 3 walls with 54Mbps connection!
It's hot-swappable, good-looking and secure (128-bit encription) + WEP!
easy WiFi [Posted on 2007-11-08]
Software was easy to insall on my laptop. To use, simply plug in the card to your laptop & power up. Worked automatically to find a signal and I was on the web first try.
Netgear 802.11g [Posted on 2007-11-15]
Netgear continues to impress me, the product installed quickly and painlessly. I'm no computer geek, but I can find my way around pretty well and I didn't even have to open the instructions.
It works with my 802.11b access point with no issues what so ever.
Another Great Netgear product!
Broken After 2 Weeks [Posted on 2007-11-18]
Worked well for 2 weeks. It was connected to my laptop, which was running Ubuntu Linux, though I doubt that was the problem in this case. During its life, I noticed that it was running on the hot side. That might have been the factor in its death.
I purchased the card refurbished with a warranty for about $20. After it broke, I did not want to go through the bother of contacting their customer service department and following their frustrating return process. For $20, I am not going to cry about it.
My final thoughts: After so many failures of my purchased Netgear equipment, I don't believe I will ever be buying their stuff any more. It might have been that the card was faulty, but in the scope of all the Netgear equipment that I have bought in the past couple of years, almost all of them were faulty or were buggy (except for when Netgear built quality units with the blue steel casings... Netgear has really gone downhill quickly).

I generally have the worse luck with wireless cards, but this on is great. It seams to be well built and sturdy and I have not had any problems with it. I would recommend this car to anyone
