Introduction

NETGEAR Dual Band Wireless PC Card

NETGEAR Dual Band Wireless PC Card
Summary	Atheros-based dual-band tri-mode (a/b/g) wireless CardBus adapter.
Update	None
Pros	• Standard-setting performance in all modes • Covers all major WLAN standards
Cons	• Can't set Xmit rate • Crude mode selection

The draft-11g market has moved quickly, progressing through the first generation of single-band b/g products to the second generation dual-band, tri-mode products in a matter of months. NETGEAR's WAG511 was one of the first tri-mode wireless CardBus adapters available, so it made its way to the head of my "must review" list. I was generally pleased with the results of my testing.
