New antenna technology has increased range beyond what was ever possible with previous generation Wi-Fi adapters. Keep your network private with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). Setup is quick and easy with the Smart Wizard install assistant. With the RangeMax Wireless Network, you have the longest range of any wireless device on the market today - up to 10 times the wireless coverage of 802.11g. So you'll have a sizzling-fast, consistent connection in every room of your house and beyond. Range Matters: RangeMax adjusts to the interference and physical barriers in your home, and delivers up to 500,000 square feet of coverage - 1000% more than 802.11g. And you don't need to throw away your old wireless devices; RangeMax is 100% compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products and will boost their range and speed by up to 50%. Power Under the Hood: RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal antennas. RangeMax constantly surveys your home environment for physical barriers and interference and adjusts the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers. For example, if you carry your laptop from the family room to the bedroom, RangeMax automatically senses the change and selects from over 100 possible antenna configurations to deliver you the fastest, clearest connection! Simple, Safe, Secure: NETGEAR's SmartWizard makes the set-up easy and hassle-free. SmartWizard automatically detects your ISP's network settings, then walks you through each step of the installation process. It's like having your own computer technician, right by your side. NETGEAR also ensures that every computer user in your home network is protected from intruders by using: a double firewall, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) Security. | | | Features: | |

 It works fair, but, not good enough to the claims....Sep 09, 2009
1. Setup was a pain. It's connected to my router, but, got a wrong IP address which seemed to have been known for a while per the website of the manufacturer.(why don't they do something about it!).
2. Technical support is useless. I talked to a couple of folks in Philipines(nothing personal to the country), but, they're just interested in log in collecting my personal information without providing any value-added technical solutions. Typical cheap call center. I felt like talking to a wall and listened to a recorded information.
3. The range and the speed are not good at all!!!
4. I don't recommend at all.

I updated to this product because of the better security (WPA2) and also found that the time it took for my wireless connection to attach was significantely improved.
Really fast and easy to useOct 29, 2008
I just purchased a NETGEAR WPN511 RangeMax Wireless PC Card to replace my Linksys Wireless G card. The setup was easy and offers a great on-screen wizard that runs when the card is in use. The speed and coverage are as advertised - faster speed and broader coverage for my home network. I am happily enjoying downloading and streaming video while sitting my backyard, far away from the router. I highly recommend this card to all laptop users.
 Has Strenghtened Our ConnectionJul 06, 2008
We use this card to connect to wifi and it is much better than the previous card we had.
