NETGEAR RangeMax Next Wireless Notebook Adapter - Gigabit Edition WN511T

Advantages: Good Security
Disadvantages: Bad Reliability

...NETGEAR ROUTER DG834N + WN121T ADAPTER The company I work for, which will remain nameless, bought a small amount of these routers at Christmas; just about everybody in the company has had a problem, mainly with the wireless connection failing intermittently or no wireless connection at all. Now the companies IT department has just received a new batch directly from Netgear, my new replacement router lasted 4 days, now it keeps losing wireless connection again I am IT certified myself and would stay well away from this model DG834N The DG834GT router I had before this one, had no problem at all I have installed the DG834, DG834G and DG834GT for family and friends and have always liked the Netgear routers until now; it's very possible they have design problem with the DG834N model?...

...Having a number of laptops in the house, as well as a couple of networked computers, we decided to buy a wireless router for the internet. Whilst the newest laptop had wireless built in, my somewhat older one did not, so I purchased a wireless card. Having a Netgear router, I decided to go for a Netgear card, and came away with the WPN511. Netgear is also a respected and trusted name in networking for homes and businesses, with a reputation for simple, functional and good value products. The card itself is roughly credit card size, and about 5mm thick, with a roughly 30mm extension on the end that sticks out of the computer and contains the aerial and some lights. It is very lightweight, and easy to store when not in use, which is useful since it's generally not able to be left in the computer when packed into a carrying case. The card... Read review
