Review on πŸ”Œ Maximize Connectivity with Netgear MA521 802.11b Wireless PC Card by Sean Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great card despite clunky software

After some experience with cheaper wireless cards, this NetGear is finally yours. Bought and sold wireless cards from Adaptec, SMC, and Gigafast, which were kind of in short supply; Their software wasn't working properly (SMC), the connection wasn't too good (Adaptec), and the updated Windows XP driver just broke the card (Gigafast). I went for a more expensive card and bought the MA521 and it's the best so far. It works fine with my Adaptec AP and reception works fine in my 3 bedroom apartment. The management software could be better, but overall it works great.

Pros
  • Excellent range - up to 100 meters
Cons
  • Not the best
