Netgear WG311T Review
Netgear WG311T Review by J. Richmond "stereo55" (Menifee , CA)
Just installed the WG311T PCI cards on two pc's connecting through my WGT624 and so far everything is great . Good signal and speed on both computers and no dis-connects . Iam pretty happy with my results todate .
But .......
IMPORTANT NOTE ON INSTALL WITH XP AND SP2 !!!
1.)If you use the Netgear application to monitor/manage your Wifi stuff then you MUST disable the "wireless-zero" in the "Adminstative tools" in the control panel for things to work correctly ( start/settings/contrpl panel/administative tools/services/wireless zero ; and put to "DISABLE"
2.)If you use WindowsXP to monitor/manage your Wifi , then you MUST disable the Netgear application (start /run / then TYPE IN: msconfig / then look in "startup"/ then DISABLE or UN-CHECK the line saying "GEAR 311T".
You must do one of the two items Ive listed to make sure your netgear Wifi works /connects properly (to the internet) . Seems you cant NOT use both applications together in anyway . Ive done ALOT of testing on this and this is the ONLY method(s) Ive found to work correctly (and this is not mentioned by Netgear or Microsoft) .
I hope this helps future users of this equipment . =)
Netgear WG311T Review by T. L. Crawford
This PCI card installed with no problems but the WTG624 router signal from approx. 50' away was 1 to 0 bars (very weak to no signal). Granted, between the two is the kitchen and a bathroom with all copper plumbing. After buying a Zonenet antenna for it and moving it from behind the computer to the top of the desk it is now a 5 bar very strong signal.
The speed of the connection is fast enough until WEP is enabled...then it's comparable to dial-up...but I believe the router is the cause of that.
Would've given it a 5 star if the antenna wouldn't have needed replaced...50' isn't THAT far even if it is through the kitchen and bathroom.

It's January 30, 2010 and I have adjusted the star rating to two.
Now it's June 13, 2005 and Amazon won't let me change my star rating that I first entered last year - but now I would give it only TWO STARS.
It appears that the advertised wireless rate of 108mbps is just a THEORECTICAL RATE and the device doesn't even come close. So if you are like me and want the speed of WIRED and think this will do it - WRONG.
ALso, to get ther "108mbps" rate you need to use NETGEAR routers or you will just be able to get the "54mbps" rate. And I can't get the router to work in "108mbps" mode without disconnects and high pings. I bought another NETGEAR router and it dropped the network after 2 days and again in about an hour - apparently due to overheating. To even try another vendor's 108mbps gear I would be forced to replace my router and the 3 pc adapter cards .
As a package, the NETGEAR 108mbps items are not what I thought I was getting. I am now in the process of fishing wire through my house to get to the wireless computers. I will then TURN OFF WIRELESS and use wires to obtain the 100mbps rate that wires can support.
Last year, I installed the NETGEAR WG3111T 108 mbps Wireless PCI Adapter while still utilizing my Microsoft MN-500, 11 mbps router. I find it easier to resolve any issues by taking things one step at a time. After the adapter card is operating correctly, I then installed the new NETGEAR WGT624 108 mbps router. I have Windows XP Home edition.
First word of advice, for this or any other piece of hardware: Go to the NETGEAR website ([...]) and check out the support area, and see if there is a newer version of the device driver and the utility software. If at all possible, download and install those BEFORE you install the WG3111T. It would have saved me a lot of time if I had done this myself.
Installation started smoothly. The Smart Configuration Utility setup the new network connection easily even while my old MSN-510 adapter was connected and operating. The utility listed my available network. I selected it and entered my encryption key. All I had to do was disconnect the old adapter and the NETGEAR WG3111T was up and going.
Then I restarted my computer... and I began losing connectivity. When McAfee VirusScan was installing, it would get "synchronization errors" and "VSMain errors". When AOL started up the network would lose connectivity and the IP address was getting changed to 169.254.120.96 or other variations of 169.254. The IP address was also getting changed when I uninstalled CyberSitter. If I ran the Smart Configuration Utility and hit APPLY, then everything would be fine until I restarted AOL. After going to the NETGEAR website and checking out the support area, I found a newer version of the device driver and the utility software. After downloading and installing these, everything is going just fine.
Since the antenna sticks out of the card, I was a little concerned about reception but the signal strength turned out to be a little better than with my Microsoft MN-510, 11mbs Wireless USB Adapter. I do have to remember to fold the antenna in before I move the computer around since I get the best reception by sticking the antenna straight out. (The computer is on third floor and router is in my basement ceiling.) The instructions tell you to point the antenna up.
After I installed the NETGEAR WGT624 108 mbps router, the WG3111T found the new network and was operating without any effort on my part. When the router broadcast channel was changed, the WG3111T picked-up the change automatically. The reception is consistently in the "excellent" range (and runs at 108 mbps according to the NETGEAR utility), but it does drop to "very good" (and 54 mbps) often. Your reception will be based on the location of your router and receivers. And remember, these rates are theoretical and you will not get anywhere near that actual transfer rate when wireless. Go figure.
