Pros
Good range, high performance somewhat resistant to nearby WiFi interference
Cons
Crappy Netgear Smart Wizard software<br>
Recommended it?
Yes
This MIMO Netgear WPN511 RangeMax Wireless CardBus PC Card Type II slot offer better range when used with a matching router. In my opinion, the major flaw with this lies with the software offer by Netgear. The driver for this adapter works extremely well without the Netgear trashy configuring Smart...

The utility that comes with the card is also decent, though I wish it would automatically...

My wife bought the Linksys WMP54G wireless adapter and it went into my son's Dell running Windows XP, which is five years old or so. Linksys says it has a rangemark of 1x and a speedmark of 1x on the box, meaning this is a run-of-the-mill product for them, nothing fancy. You need a 500mhz...
