linuxstuff Member Since: Mar 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Days	NetGear WG511 works well with Linux Strengths: Setup with no problems. I'm using it with Mandriva 2006 Linux and it works very well. Weaknesses: None that I have experienced. Summary: I was looking for a wireless solution for Linux that would give me no problems in finding a driver or setting up for use. The NetGear WG511 does that quite well. 100% of People (3/3) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

littleki from VA Member Since: Jul 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Weeks	Good Value Wireless LAN Card Strengths: good signal strength; low price; WPA compatiable Weaknesses: Have to get the latest driverfrom Netgear web site; otherwise, it won't work. Summary: Low price! Pretty good GUI interface. The best part is strong signal pickup. I placed my wireless router at the living room, and I can get good signal at my second-floor bedroom. Netgear router sucks though! I would recommend a Linksys router. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Strengths: Easy to use/install, picks up signals at a distance Weaknesses: drains battery faster, though all do that Summary: I just bought this as my first wireless card. Did a lot of research, and netgear has a really good reputation. This card worked great out-of-the-box, with easy installation instructions. Surprisingly I picked I picked up 3 access points around my neighborhood, all over 200 ft away. I haven't tried it with a G network yet, but works great with the B WAP's so far. Highly recommend. 88% of People (7/8) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

mfgeng from OH Member Since: Feb 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 6 Months	I'm going to have to go out and buy another brand ... Strengths: Works well with high signal strength. Weaknesses: Uses way to much power and saps my laptop usage time on battery to 1/3 of normal time. Summary: I'm going to have to go out and buy another brand or downgrade to 11b because of the excessive power usage of this card. To use it requires that my laptop be plugged in. 78% of People (7/9) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
