Review on πŸ“Ά Enhanced NETGEAR WN311B RangeMax Wireless-N PCI Adapter by Darius Newberry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great Card, Bad Vista Installer Software

Now that the card is working properly, it's great. With my 22Mbps broadband service, the performance is impressive compared to the Netgear G Wireless card it replaced. With this card I increased my download speed from 12 Mbit/s to over 22 Mbit/s. I also use a Netgear N wireless router. The installation software and instructions that came with it are not suitable for installing Vista. I had to use trial and error and reinstall the card 3 times before it finally worked. Maybe downloading the latest version of Netgear would help. My last successful procedure was to install the software from the floppy, shut down the machine, install the card, boot the machine, ignore the instructions and let Vista install the driver, reboot the machine and viola - everything works !

Pros
  • Network Cards
Cons
