Fast shipping and easy install. Works as advertised. Coverage could be better but it may be due to the fact that router is in the basement.

Just installed this evening. Pretty effortless. Replaced a Belkin router, which didn't last more than a year. First the wireless channels went, then I lost one of my plugged connections. Tonight I connected four wired desktops and my wireless notebook. All went well. A lot faster than my previous router too. Time will tell...

I bought this PCMCIA Adapter to use with a Dell 5100. I bought a refurbished one for under $13.00. My sons said I ordered a refurbished piece of junk. Suprise, Suprise. I Installed the Adapter, downloaded the drivers fron Netgear, & was up and running in 20 minutes. It shows a range of A very strong siginal from 60 feet away & 3 walls in-between. Thank you again Tiger Direct. I have bought great products here for years. I would recommend this card. It is unbelievable for the price.

I bought one of these for my HP Pavilion Laptop and it works great. I use it both for school and work-it seems to have fairly decent range. I opted to ''let Windows manage my network device'' instead of the Netgear utillity and it runs much more smoothly in my opinion. Overall, great product for the price.

I installed this in my daughters laptop, connecting to a Netgear WGR614 Router. I followed the instructions and installed the drivers and utilities before plugging in the card. The install went very smooth and was finished in less than 10 minutes. Great signal strength anywhere in the house.

Excellent wireless card. Using this card with the Netgear WGT624 v2 router I had a home network set up in about 15 minutes. I tried Westell Versalink router with both a Westell & US Robitics cards with no results. Thanks to Netgear customer support I picked the right equipment and was up & running in 15 minutes. Thank God for Netgear!
