Amazon.com Product Description
The NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card offers:
  • 802.11g wireless networking capability.
  • Backwards compatibility with 802.11b wireless networks.
  • 128-bit WEP encryption for extra security.

An antenna is built in for portability. View larger.
Easy Setup
The WG511 is a PC Card and requires a Pentium class PC with an available 32-bit CardBus slot for installation. It supports Windows Vista and is also compatible with Windows XP, 2000, 98SE, and Me. Setup is as simple as inserting the card into the slot and installing the included software. A built-in stub antenna helps you receive a strong signal for the fastest possible speeds.

Fast and Secure
The NETGEAR WG511 supports the 802.11g protocol standard for speeds up to 54 Mbps and a longer range than previous-generation 802.11b adapters. With a good connection, you'll notice the difference right away as you'll be able to stream high-quality music without any hiccups and load videos much faster. Downloading files is up to five times faster than it was with 802.11b. Since 802.11g is also interoperable with 802.11b, you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll get a connection at specific airports and hotspots; the WG111US will automatically detect the network and allow you to connect to it at the highest speed possible.

The adapter supports 40/64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for security so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on your emails or stealing your passwords. The included software makes managing different WEP passwords a breeze as you can set up different profiles for each location you frequent, saving yourself the trouble of having to type in encryption keys each time you connect to a hotspot you've already used.

The NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card is backed by a 1-year warranty.

5 out of 5 stars Successful wireless fidelity card   September 5, 2008
Samuel Lawrence (Sacramento, CA USA)
This card works great. It took me 30 minutes to install the software and get it running. It has great speed. The only issue it when connectivity is low it tends to disconnect and scan and you have to wait for it to reconnect. This can get annoying. Other than that it is a great card for a low price


4 out of 5 stars Good bang-for-the-buck   July 17, 2008

I'm happy with this purchase. My very old laptop (HP Pavilion ZE4145) does not have WiFi built in and for the past two years, I've been using an Airlink 101 USB Wireless dongle. This PCMCIA card picks up more signals and is more secure on my laptop than any USB dongle could be. The software is ok, but I had difficulty entering a WEP password for use with my router. No problem, I just let Windoze control the card and it works exactly as I need.

In all, the card picks up weak signals, provides a solid physical connection to my laptop, and performs exactly as I had hoped.



4 out of 5 stars Solid, but slow...   June 30, 2008

It's a reliable card, and for the price, you can't go wrong. By slow, I mean the bundled Netgear network "sniffing" software (program that finds and connects to networks) takes its sweet time connecting to a network. It took 30 seconds to connect to a Netgear router, while my Mac's AirPort Extreme connected in under 5 seconds. But the Netgear software was more reliable than the Windows supplied program on the ThinkPad it went into, so I guess you win some and lose some.

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
