Customer Reviews:

Range of wg311 is only about 10 feet if your lucky.......2007-07-02

Netgear came up with a new model (the wg311T) of this adapter because the range on the original wg311 was so poor that it makes it virtually useless unless your within about a 10 foot radius with no obstructions, such as a wall. Netgears' original versions are almosty always flawed and poorly designed. Then they fix the problems, slap on a new version model number (eg. the wg11T) and the buyer has to buy the so-called new model to replace the orignal flawed piece of junk to get something that actually works the way it should have on the original model. That way Netgear makes twice as much money.

Bad compatability.......2007-06-04

Product Randomly Disconnects from network. After 6 months of off and on tech support still no resolution. I've been using computers for almost 20 years and tried everything imaginable. Just bought a new product from linksys, install was faster, easier, better defined, working flawlessly now.

Problems linking up with lynxus router.......2007-05-07

I baught this thinking that this would be compatible with my lynxus Router. Am I doing something wrong on my part?
If so please direct me as to better serve me.

old product.......2007-03-20

I expected to get a WG311v3 instead I got a WG311v2. Also, Netgear is not abble to supply a driver for Windows Vista at this point. v3 would have at least a beta driver.

Junk - 2 / 3 that i purchased stopped working.......2007-02-20

I purchased this item on Jan 9th, installed it on Jan 12th, and it failed on Feb 19th, too late to return it to Amazon. I purchased two other units at Fry's and one of them failed, but fortunately within the first week so I could take it back without a hassle. Because Amazon only lets you return items within 30 days, I am out of luck with this unit.
I recommend that you avoid this unit like the plague. If you must buy one, buy it from someplace that you can walk in and return it when it fails (which will occur with 67% probability in my experience).
Also note that the Vista drivers offered by Netgear don't actually work.
