Experiences with Netgear WG311T (Router is WGT634U)
I have gotten quite a bit of experience with this card, so might share some information with others about the quality of this product. The Netgear WG311T is the 108 Mbps version of the PCI based wireless adapter for PC's. Note that there is also a 108Mbps USB 2.0 adapter (WG111T) version as well as a 108 Mbps PC Card (WG511T) version for notebooks. The USB 2.0 one seems quite nice, but this WG311T comes with an attenna that you can turn and point in the direction of the wireless router. Note...

This product may FREEZE up your system
I've owned this product for a week now and have tried various things to get this card working correctly on my system. It appears that with LARGE traffic, this card will freeze up and lock your system, forcing you to press the RESET/POWER button. There is apparently a compatibility issue between the Atheros chipset (what this product uses) and the VIA chipset (what most AMD compatible motherboards use).
I would only recommend this product to people who ARE NOT using a motherboard with ...

I WAS pleased with the performance - BUT NOT ANYMORE
-
Now it's June 13, 2005 and Amazon won't let me change my star rating that I first entered last year - but now I would give it only TWO STARS.
It appears that the advertised wireless rate of 108mbps is just a THEORECTICAL RATE and the device doesn't even come close. So if you are like me and want the speed of WIRED and think this will do it - WRONG.
ALso, to get ther "108mbps" rate you need to use NETGEAR routers or you will just be able to get the "54mbps" rate. And ...

Consistently locked up XP machines - unusable
I had to return it because it consistently locked up any XP PC where it was installed. Purchased this model because it seemed to be the right fit for the Netgear WGT624 router.
Returned this item and purchased the USB wireless adapter WG111 instead, which worked just fine.
Won't purchase this item again and cannot recommend it.

Netgear software doesn't work with SP2!
Important for SP2 users!
The Netgear network connection software for the WG311T (even the lastest Aug '04 version posted on their website which was supposed to fix the SP2 problem) rarely, if ever, works. And if you choose to use the default Win XP SP2 wireless network connection software, it still won't work because even when the Netgear connection software is disabled, it interfers with the Windows XP software. You MUST stop the Netgear software from running at start-up and the only way...

This card is junk. Get a 100mbps US Robotics USR5416 Card Instead
I had the misfortune of using this card in an AMDAthlon based Compaq PC. Mose hesitations multiple freeze ups power reset was the only fix all kinds of problems. After a month of thinking thine PC was going bad I stumped across a thread that this was a known by Netgear but unfixed problem sine July 2004!brbrI replaced this card with a US Robotics USR5416 card and all the issues on the PC went away. The USR card is 100 compatible with the turbo g access points.brbrAvoid this card like the plag...

terrible time getting this to work with XP home SP2
Dont use the included driver! It will cause your machine to crash repeatedly instead you have to get the 15 meg download from netgears website. it still only works sporadically. also dont use their device software it will corrupt your XP firewall adnetwork settings.

I like Netgear routers, but this card is insane!
Until my last 2 Netgear PCI cards I have preferred Netgear for my wireless networking equipment. But IVE HAD IT! If I see another Blue Screen of Death... well.. Ive seen enough of them and am changing cards to another brand. brbrI have removed softwareswitched to downloaded drivers switched to Windows to handle networking etc. The best is a BSD every few days maybe Ill go a week without. Yet Netgear is not addressing the problem. That is what is most frustrating. And its not like we are dealing...

Not Compatible with AMD Processors
This product isnt compatible with PCs running AMD processors. It causes my pc to freeze over and over again. I cant return it to Circuit City because I cut up the box to send in the rebate. Netgear wont do anything about it and told me that they only support PCs running Pentium III processors or higher.brbrIf your PC has an AMD processor dont buy any products from Netgear. Make sure that the product you purchase works properly before you submit the rebate because you wont be able to return ...
