The WPN511 RangeMax Wireless PC Card from Netgear brings blazing wireless speeds and improved range to notebook PCs. It is optimized for use with the RangeMax Wireless Router (sold separately) which adjusts to the interference and physical barriers at home, and delivers up to 500,000 square feet of coverage. With this router/card combination, the problem of fading Internet connections is eliminated - giving you the freedom to work or play from virtually anywhere in your home. Powerful features like WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key) Security ensure that your network is safe from unauthorized users. Setup is quick and easy with the SmartWizard install assistant. Compatible with both 802.11b and 802.11g standards, this PC card lets you place your notebook PC anywhere in your home without the need for repeaters, range extenders or boosters. Less

It complies highly with IEEE802.11g/IEEE802.11b standard, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the speed can be increased even 6 times of 802.11g by using twice as much radio band
