| NETGEAR Dual Band Wireless PC Card | |
|---|---|
| Summary | Atheros-based dual-band tri-mode (a/b/g) wireless CardBus adapter. |
| Update | None |
| Pros | • Standard-setting performance in all modes
• Covers all major WLAN standards |
| Cons | • Can't set Xmit rate
• Crude mode selection |
The draft-11g market has moved quickly, progressing through the first generation of single-band b/g products to the second generation dual-band, tri-mode products in a matter of months. NETGEAR's WAG511 was one of the first tri-mode wireless CardBus adapters available, so it made its way to the head of my "must review" list. I was generally pleased with the results of my testing.
