Netgear WG511U Double 108Mbps Wireless A+G PC Card

Achieve two wireless networks in one!

NETGEAR's Double 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card injects dynamic force into your home or small office notebook PC. When used with a WGU624 Double 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router, you can access both a normal 108 Mbps network, as well as a private 108 Mbps network, free from interference by other neighboring wireless traffic.

The second wireless network acts as a carpool lane’, free from other traffic and thus suitable for applications such as video streaming. In addition, new XR technology can achieve range up to 3X greater than 802.11g. What's more, installation is simple in fewer than five mouse clicks, Smart Wizard Install Assistant has you up and running full speed ahead.

Super Fast

Energizes your network with blazing 108 Mbps performance on each of two individual streams. When two WG511U adapters are used with a WGU624 router, the combined throughput of both can be up to twice that of a similar two-PC setup with single 108 Mbps Wireless Router. One stream can be used for normal internet surfing, while the Double 108’ stream can be used as a special additional network for your premium applications. XR Range technology allows range up to 3X* greater that typical 802.11g wireless networks

Hassle Free

The Smart Wizard Install Assistant makes setup quick, simple, and painless. Fully backward compatible and interoperable with 802.11b and 802.11g networks, a user can choose between b’, g’, 108 Mbps g’, or Double 108 Mbps’ modes.

1 was easy to install
I ran the driver installer, plugged in the card, typed in my WLAN's security settings, and was on the network.

It worked on both an XP-Home and a Win2000 laptop, and included the option of using WPA (PSK) security. :)

My SMC8204WBR (802.11g) A/P-router is down in the basement behind the furnace, and I'm upstairs in the opposite side of the house. It's getting decent signal strength. This card's reporting 48Mbps link rate, which is fine since I don't have a Netgear "100Mbps+ high speed" A/P.
