Worked well for 2 weeks. It was connected to my laptop, which was running Ubuntu Linux, though I doubt that was the problem in this case. During its life, I noticed that it was running on the hot...
I have a Dell Inspiron with built in WI-FI. The built-in could not find the wireless network. I tried the WPN511 and in about 3 minutes I was on and operating. Easy to install. Easy to use.

Don't buy this piece of crap. I have the v3 version which would drop connection within minutes. After updating the driver it's "only" failing daily. There are products out there that can actually...

I am shocked that Netgear is providing an old driver (2004) NOT CERTIFIED WITH XP. Bought this Jan 2006. The crashing drove me crazy since nothing identified the driver as the problem until a day...
Warning - NDIS 2.0 drivers are NOT supplied despite what box says

it does extend range if used with a range-max router or wap -- but it's not spectacular
