PIECE OF JUNK!
by Dylan hughes on Oct 8th, 2008 at 2:23 PM:
this adapter is a piece of junk. will never, ever buy a netgear EVER again! the adapter does not even get recognized by any operating system regardless of the computer you put it in. you plug it in, the lights on the back of it turn red/and sometimes green. and thats all that happens, its a computer paperweight. windows doesnt recognize it, nor does BIOS. installing drivers are useless as the software says the adapter isnt even plugged into a pci slot. tried 4 different pcs.
Unstable

The configuration utility running in the tray is very unstable, so better not to touch it without a good reason. Still there will be some blue screens for you.
The electronics may seem to work and connection is more reliable than my previous D-Link Wi-Fi adapter. Just a note that my router supports only 54Mb 802.11b/g and this network card was regularly trying to connect at 108Mb (and regularly losing connectivity on the way). I had to manually disable support of 108Mb using its flimsy configuration utility. Overall: try to buy something else instead.
WPN311 - Junk

I would like to echo earlier comments. The Netgear WPN311 is a piece of junk! I have attempted to install it in two PC's and neither worked. Download latest drivers, tried to configure with both the Netgear and Microsoft wizards. Tried pre-assigning IP addresses. Nothing worked. I doubt that I'll buy another Netgear product.
It keeps locking up my computer

I just bought the Wpn311 adapter and it has been nothing but problems. First it caused conflict with my wireless mouse which I replaced after one of their techs told me that this move would stop the freezing up of my Win 2000 OS. I am still having problems with my computer locking up with a wired mouse. I called support and they told me to talk to my operating system tech support because “If I can get online then there is nothing wrong with their equipment. It is your computer that is having the problem.” Obviously after looking at this forum it’s not our computers. Besides the fact that their techs can barely speak English they obviously are hiding from this problem. Crap! Now I have to go back down to the store and replace this.
