Review on πŸ“Ά Enhance Notebook Connectivity with NETGEAR WMB521NA Wireless Kit by Travis Filippi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works great, price is right!

For such a cheap package I didn't have high expectations that it would work. I've been using it for 5 days now, so far so good. Installation took a few hours - more because of my Arescom NetDSL 800 modem and its quirky settings I think than this product. (The last time I installed this modem with a wired router it took just as long). Wireless range seems good - I can use my laptop in the basement, 2 floors from the router. The fact that it doesn't get a 5-star rating is prevented by the fact that the NetGear configuration utility, which monitors your connections, has stopped working seemingly at random. This doesn't affect LAN or WAN access, but it's still a minor annoyance. Good product at a great price (.) from NetGear.
