 The WPN111's small size makes it easy to carry around. View larger. |
About the size of a pack of gum, the WPN111 is easy to throw into your purse or pocket. It supports Windows Vista and is also compatible with Windows XP, 2000, 98SE, and Me. The WG111US features a USB 2.0 connection for wide compatibility and high speeds, and setup is as simple as installing the included software and plugging the device into a USB port. A removable cover keeps the connector protected and clean from knocks, dirt and other potential harm.
Included is a USB cable making it easier to connect the WG111US to a desktop and saving you the hassle of having to reach for the back of the computer each time you want to connect or disconnect the adapter. Additionally, it allows you to place the adapter at an optimal location for the strongest signal. Also included is a cradle that you can fasten to the wall or a desk for a more stable place to keep the adapter once you've found an ideal location.
Fast and Secure
The NETGEAR WPN111 supports the 802.11g protocol standard but is able to provide better performance thanks to Smart MIMO technology that incorporates intelligent internal antennas into the router. The router automatically senses interference from devices such as microwaves and cordless phones, and adjusts accordingly. The upshot is speeds up to 108 Mbps with a longer range and a lack of "dead zones" in your home. The adapter is also backwards compatible with 802.11b networks so you don't have to worry about not getting a connection at specific hotspots.
The adapter supports 40/64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption as well as WPA-PSK for security so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on your emails or stealing your passwords. The included software makes managing different WEP passwords a breeze as you can set up different profiles for each location you frequent, saving yourself the trouble of having to type in encryption keys each time you connect to a hotspot you've already used.
The NETGEAR WPN111 RangeMax USB 2.0 Adapter is backed by a 1-year warranty.

- AvoidI got this for a second PC I built for my son. It took 3 hours to finally get a connection to the wireless router. When I finally did get a connection, the speed would range from 12 Mps to 54 Mps(only for a couple seconds) frequently. Web pages do not display correctly. The router is in the next room less than 30 feet away. The adapter does not fit snugly in the USB port. The extension cord does nothing to increase the signal. In all, a very poor user experience.

- Great Windows SupportMy wife uses one of these with her work Wintel XP laptop to connect to our Netgear wireless router. It gives her the best, strongest connection of any of the wireless adapters we've tried. The fact that it's USB is great.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work with any Mac of any sort. Nor does it work with a TiVo device. Still, it's quite good on Wintel devices.

- Netgear adapterI received this for my birthday this year. It works very well once I configured it correctly. I couldn't use the software provided with it, I had to use Windows to configure it, but once I figured that out I haven't had a problem with it and it definitely is faster. I would recommend this product to someone looking for a cheap adapter. Oh, and incidentally, I got the refurbished model so I had to go online and download the software as it didn't come with the adapter but it was a simple task.

- Decent in its category...This category of products - wireless usb adapters - seems pretty new, as it is not yet plug-and-play compatible (it needs a software CD), and it has spotty connectivity. This adapter has fairly bad reviews, but compared to its competitors, you wont find too many better products.
Installation was a pain - after spending hours trying to install it (on Vista), I finally figured out a way to make it work. And when it does work, it is very fast - so no problems there.
However, ... Read More

- Horrible...It is just a piece of plastic... can rather melt it and make it a tooth brush.
