Flawless, Great Range, Highly Recommended
I have this card paired with the Super-G WGT624 Netgear Wireless Router. I had some difficulties with the router at first, but now it is working great. When paired with this wireless card you will not be disappointed. The range is fantastic and it connects with ease automatically.
I can use Youtube, iTunes, Netflix and other streaming media devices with this without ANY lag. That's rather impressive.
If you have the WGT624 this is the card that will allow you to transmit at 108Mbps, TWICE the speed of a regular G card. However if you don't have the WGT624 from Netgear there is no need to upgrade to this card because they will only transmit at 108Mbps when they are used together.
replacement of a linksys
So I didn't actually do any research, I wanted something Netgear with super G capaiblities and this just happened to fit in it. I had to replace a linksys 54mb wireless adapter, it was dropping signals every second with full bars. It also was locking up my computer. I got my Netgear (such fast shipping) and wow. Happy. Reconizes my wireless network right off the bat, 108mb connection (super g wireless router netgear also) and no signal loss. Stable too, no computer crashing since then that i know of. I'm happy with it.

No problems
I have Windows XP. No issues installing it. Took only 5 minutes. Works just fine. I installed the CD. I chose to use Windows to configure the wireless connection and have no problems. Thanks.
Poor Performance
Previously, I was using an 54Mbps Exterasys Wireless Adapter and had flawless (literally) connectivity. I purchased a refurbished Netgear WG311T from Tiger Direct for about $25, because I was planning to upgrade from a Gateway with 11mbps max speed to a Gateway with 54 mbps capability, and add an additional PC to the network. Therefore, I have had a chance to use the WG311T with two different Routers and PC's and compare it to a similar adapter, also used with the two Routers and PC's. The adapter has always been used in a room adjacent to the Gateway Router.
I was able to install the adapter with relative ease and had no problems connecting to the network at speeds of 11mbps and 54mbps. However, on powering up, the card locked up my 7 year old Axis PC and 3 year old Dell PCs temporarily at regular intervals. This occurred with my XP Zero Wireless Config setting disabled.
When using the 11mbps Router, dropped connections occurred about every five minutes and self corrected after about one minute. I was able to eliminate dropped connections by making a few simple changes to the card config using the Netgear software. I clicked on the "Advanced Settings" button on the Smart Wizard Settings tab. I then removed the "Wireless Mode" checks for the 108mb and 54mb settings, thereby disabling the higher speeds.
With a 54mbps router I have not been able to eliminate frequent dropped connections after having tried both Zero Wireless and Netgear Utility configurations. The PC no longer has long delays in connecting during startups, however.
The PCI connected wireless 54 meg adapter in my HP Media Center PC works flawlessly on the same network, despite the router's location at the opposite end of a 2000 plus sq foot home. I would recommend it, but can't find the manufacturer listed anywhere in the PC.
My "Two" rating is fairly generous, considering the fact that I would not recommend purchasing this card. Given the amount of frustration waiting during dropped connections, I would not recommend using it if it were given away free. Perhaps it works well with other hardware and/or ISP's, judging by some of the reviews, and therefore might be useful to some.
Very good
This is a very good card for those that want to experiment with Linux and packet injection, it's fully supported by madwifi-ng. I haven't tried using it in windows but I'm guessing it should work just fine.
