One of the worst products I've ever seen

Anyone considering a wireless 108mbps adapter, steer WELL away from this. It's utterly hopeless, gives very low signal strength even when the router (WPN824) is nearby and as others have said, it also gives you BSOD crashes. Absolutely abysmal product, Netgear should be ashamed of themselves for putting this piece of junk out there. Nothing you do can fix the problems people experience with this, nothing.

Bad driver locks up, also crashes Windows XP

The WPN311 software locks up when logging into Windows XP. It has many error messages and has to be reset. The card also causes random blue screen crashes.

NetGear has done a very poor job deploying software upgrades. None have worked to date. The software upgrades also caused problems. The latest version frequently loads twice causing double icons and lock-ups.

bad

I figured I'd buy this card because I bought their wpn824 router.
I've downloaded all their updated drivers; none work. This card stinks.
Like cars, there should be a recall/refund for these.

Seems to be OK with Win 2000 but had serious problems with Windows XP, crashes and BSOD. Do not recommend.

WPN311 GARBAGE

This card is a sure fire way to destroy yout Windows XP OS. It will crash to a blue screen intermittently.

The 'fix' from Netgear destroyed my registry. The hardware trashed hard drives, probably due to poor circut design.

This occured on TWO of my computers. STAY AWAY FROM THIS POS!
