Netgear WG511NA Wireless G Pc Card Review
I wanted a wireless laptop card to use in a very old computer using Windows ME as the operating system. After some research I discovered that not many cards claimed to work with ME. I ended up ordering the Netgear WG511NA Wireless G Pc Card. The delivery time was prompt, as always, from Amazon. I installed the included software, plugged the card in and was instantly on the internet. No problem with installation and no problem with the card. I highly recommend this card to those who have an older operating system.

The WG511 is a PC Card and requires a Pentium class PC with an available 32-bit CardBus slot for installation. It supports Windows Vista and is also compatible with Windows XP, 2000, 98SE, and Me.

Fast and Secure
The NETGEAR WG511 supports the 802.11g protocol standard for speeds up to 54 Mbps and a longer range than previous-generation 802.11b adapters. With a good connection, you'll notice the difference right away as you'll be able to stream high-quality music without any hiccups and load videos much faster. Downloading files is up to five times faster than it was with 802.11b. Since 802.11g is also interoperable with 802.11b, you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll get a connection at specific airports and hotspots; the WG111US will automatically detect the network and allow you to connect to it at the highest speed possible.
The adapter supports 40/64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for security so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on your emails or stealing your passwords. The included software makes managing different WEP passwords a breeze as you can set up different profiles for each location you frequent, saving yourself the trouble of having to type in encryption keys each time you connect to a hotspot you've already used.
The NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card is backed by a 1-year warranty.
