NETGEAR WG311 Wireless-G PCI Adapter Reviews

• Change Install Method For XP SP2

  
  By A24XSSQOCN1SX1 on 2004-11-27
  First of all, this card is a great product and better than any of the competitors, to include Linksys and D-Link. With the deployment of SP2 you will need to change the install procedure for the V2 card so that it works without causing your system to reboot constantly. DO NOT install the utility and drivers ahead of time as the instructions in the packaging tell you to. Rather, install the card, then boot up and let windows detect the hardware. Instead of installing the drivers automatically, use the "I Will Select" the hardware option then through the hardware wizard browse to the XP Drivers folder on the disc and let windows install ONLY the driver, not the utility. XP has a very good wireless management utility and you will give up nothing by not having the Netgear utility installed. The card will finish install and you'll be up and running.
  
  

• Windows XP SP2 issues are resolved...

  
  By A3CW0ZLUO5X2B1 on 2004-09-09
  Update: mid November 2004:
  
  Editing the review does not allow reviewer to change the rating. To Netgear's credit, they have issued updates for this card, which now plays just fine with Windows XP SP2. I was able to confirm this during a build of a new machine this weekend.
  
  My rant in September was valid then based on the state of their suppport for XP SP2. They have taken care of this, and if I could, I would elevate this product to 4.5 or 5 stars....
  
  ________________________________
  
  Original early September review:
  Once installed and working: 4 stars. The single star is for the overall experience in Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 environment. This eventually required a rollback from SP2 *and* an operating system reinstall. This might not be worth it for most people seeking just a little faster data througput...
  
  If your are considering purchasing this --or **any other wireless network adapter**-- check carefully for compatability with Windows XP Home SP2. After over 4 hours of my own troubleshooting, and another hour on hold to speak with Netgear tech support, I learned that the only issue was that this device was having major compatability issues with SP2 (which we deployed last month on 4 computers in our network with no negative effects..until now). At this point you pretty much have the choice of returning to your previous (or non-existent) networking environment or uninstalling SP2. WARNING: Do not choose the SP2 uninstall. I went from a midly annoying networking hardware issue to a full blown operating system meltdown. In the case of Netgear, the SP2 compatability issue was not discussed on their web site (and certainly not in the included literature): I had to get this important information from the support rep. only after registering the product for the 90 day support period. If you are putting any wireless adapter into an XP SP2 system, it is time well spent to check with their tech support BEFORE install. The hold time may be time consuming, but it will be less so than Windows reinstallation (or a hard drive reformat!). Naturally, since my Netgear issue has morphed into a Windows issue, there's no more help coming from Netgear on this. I've had generally good experiences with Netgear products (a new router and laptop PCMCIA card installed flawlessly and were up and running in minutes), but this combined MS-Netgear SNAFU is a disaster of major proportions. Your experience may vary...but it would take very little for it to be better than mine! Good luck, and caveat emptor!
  Update: Rollback from XP SP2 plus a reinstall of the operating system plus another 45 minutes on the phone with tech suppprt and we did succeed in getting it running. Enjoying the higher throughput, but I'm not sure it was worth the effort.
  
  

• Couldn't be better!

  
  By A3O24ZYGNV968Z on 2003-09-26
  I just upgraded my son's PC to Dell PowerEdge 400SC. My old SMC USB adapter would not work even the Windows XP Pro says it is working fine. Since I have all Netgear stuff in my home network and work great, I looked at Netgear "stuff" first for the replacement. I wanted to try a different interface; via PCI vs. USB.

  After reading some mixed review on MA311 card (which I thought it was mainly installation issue or crappy mobo of no-name PCs), I gave it a shot on this card for future upgradability. since all Netgear "stuff" requires to install the drivers and utility prior to installation, I did, and wow, I thought my old SMC USB adapter was pretty good on my son's old Dell, but this card surpassed my expectation. It was picking up a couple of more my neighbors access points I didn't see before, and getting full 11MB/s connection from my MR814 with 128-bit WEP.

  The utility have much better interface from my MA401 cards. And this is something definitely worth the money. Being a realy picky bargain hunter, I did not mind at all for paying the full price on this card. Can't wait to find a good deal on 802.11a AP and try its full speed.
  
  

• XP SP2 requires special treatment

  
  By A3R6NRIEL5CWS4 on 2004-10-06
  This card turns out to be compatible with Win XP SP2 only if you limit yourself to installing the drivers. The Netgear utility that comes with it as part of the installer is not compatible with SP2, and causes a blue screen crash. I found this out the hard way! So when Windows prompts you for drivers, browse to the Drivers/XP directory on the CD, and let Windows do the rest. Don't use the installer!
  
  

• Had to replace this thing...

  
  By A1VCKJFA9LR7NL on 2005-10-13
  I'd like to start off by saying this is the only Netgear product I ever had a problem with.
  
  I actually have the older WG311v2 edition of this product and it seemed to work for a while. The problem occured when I started getting constant dropping after a few minutes of being connected. I investigated and found that of every 10-15 pings I sent to the router (both a Netgear MR814 802.11b and the WGR614 I decided to upgrade to), it would lag once for up to 1 whole second which is bad when it comes to network connectivity between a system and the router. I tried disconnecting 2.4GHz phones, switching channels, moving the router, moving the computer, replacing the router, changing the PCI slot the card sat in, using Wireless Zero Config, using the latest Netgear util. Nothing worked. To top it off ping testing with other computers wireless on the network showed no dropping. The WG311v2 would drop/lag and I would have to manually make it work again with enable/disabling of the card and reboots of the machine.
  
  I did some research into the card and read that a possible hotfix might have caused an issue. Nope, the Hotfix wasn't installed on my system. I later learned that the WG311v2 card just plain has major problems when it comes to reliable connectivity.
  
  I picked up a D-Link DWL-G510L the next day for cheap and plugged it in and installed the latest drivers. No problems at all AND the drivers supported WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, and WPA2. The WG311v2 only supports WPA and WPA-PSK.
  
  Netgear might have fixed the issues with the WG311v2 with the release of the current WG311v3 but they also might not have. I would take a closer look at the D-Link. It works, is usually cheaper, and it supports the latest wireless security protocols and works great with Wireless Zero Config.
  
  
• Great Adapter! Even with Windows XP SP2
  By A2UTQDG68YNEWZ on 2004-12-12
  I am aware of the compatibility issues that this PCI adapter has with Windows XP SP2. Like many people who has XP SP2, I also got a blue screen following Netgear's installation instruction, which is to install the utility and driver from CD before you install the hardware.
  
  The compatibility issue originates from the utility software provided by Netgear, but not from the PCI adapter itself. However, the problem is easy to fix.
  Follow step 1-7 if you have already plugged-in the hardware and receive a bluescreen after restarting Windows XP.
  Follow step 3-7 is you have not begun the installation process.
  
  1. turn off your computer and unplug the PCI adapter
  2. start your computer and uninstall the Netgear utility software from Control Panel
  3. insert the installation CD but do NOT install the utility and driver from the CD
  4. turn off your computer and plug-in the PCI adapter again
  5. start your computer and Windows XP will tell you "new hardware found"
  6. follow the instruction and let Windows XP search your computer for the appropriate driver (include your CD-ROM drive). DO NOT INSTALL THE UTILITY SOFTWARE.
  7. in just a few minutes, your wireless PCI adapter will be working smoothly with no problems!
  
  Note: Windows XP's default Wireless Connection Manager is a good program, therefore, there is no need to use Netgear's utility program which has serious conflict with XP SP2.
  
  The adapter itself is a great product. It would have received a 5 star. However, due to the faulty installation instruction and the incompatibility of Netgear's software for Windows XP SP2, it receives only 4 stars. Netgear needs to fix this problem and get rid of the incompatible utility software ASAP.
  
  
  
• The Absolute WORST Adapter, EVER!
  By A2DGXL9BB5O4P5 on 2005-10-10
  I am not one to be blunt, but I will digress and break with tradition on this review. The WG311 cards (yes, CARDS, I'm so ashamed of myself!) I so stupidly purchased have got to be the largest POS computer gear I have ever purchased, PERIOD! I have been tinkering with computers ever since the Commodore 64 days, so generally I can hold my own when it comes to hardware/software installation, troubleshooting, etc. However, when it came to installing and configuring these red-headed stepchildren, I was at a total loss. It took me 5 install/uninstall cycles to even get them to function, and then the performance was mediocre at best. Once installed, these craptastical nightmares couldn't maintain a wireless connection under the best of circumstances. My computers were constantly losing wireless connectivity, making web-browsing and downloading files an exercise in frustration. After 7 days of this, I finally did the right thing and replaced the cards with Linksys products. My problems then "magically" disappeared. While attempting to get the cursed Netgear filth to function, I spent many hours going back and forth with "offshore" customer service (India). Lets just say that Apu should go back to selling Slurpees as he definitely does not have the mastery of anything remotely related to computer networking, let alone the English Language. When I finally got someone who could speak in complete, intelligible sentences, I still got nowhere. Unfortunately Netgear has absolutely no intention of stooping to the level of making things right, or functional. In summary: These things are crap! Go with Linksys - they ALWAYS make fully functioning products - with rock-solid customer service to back it up. I can only hope that someday I will meet the CEO of Netgear and its parent corporations in a dark alley, where my knuckles can do the talking. Oh what a glorious day that will be!
  
  
• A Lousy Piece of kit
  By A21PVUGN48JQNF on 2006-01-24
  This would have to be the worst piece of equipment I have ever bought. I installed it as per directions, and it seemed to go fine, but the performance of the link was very poor, it is sitting not far from a PC with a DLINK card in it and that PC is getting Very Good to excellent connectivity, same can't be said for the netgear card, it is perpetually sitting down at poor or no connection.
  
  I then found that my PC would lose connectivity after 10 minutes (or less) and then the task bar would freeze, I couldn't even bring up task manager to close the PC down.
  
  I then uninstalled the software, downloaded the latest drivers, re-installed the card, and tried to use the Win XP controller, but the issues were exactly the same.
  
  This is just once piece of hardware that doesn't like to work, a waste of money and time. I would like to see NETGEAR actually fix the issues that so obviously plague this card.
  
  If so many other manufacturers can get it right why can't NETGEAR, I think their engineers and programmers need a swift kick up the backside.
  
  Until Netgear fix the issue with this card it is the last piece of NETGEAR equipment I will buy. I have had Netgear switches and hubs that worked fine, but obviously Netgear just ins't ready for the magic that is wireless.
  
  My recommendation... buy DLINK instead.
  
  
• Best 54G PCI card around
  By on 2003-11-19
  This is the best. I have read many reviews and talked to friends who have returned Microsoft, DLink and Linksys. PC World just rated netgear on top for Dec 03. It took about 20 minutes of tinkering to get working with XP Pro on one box and XP Home on another. Make sure you turn off XP firewall, that was the reason I couldn't share files and printer at first.
  
  
• forget Netgear; go check out Linksys
  By ASVMIQTMUJ1CG on 2004-12-30
  I purchased this adapter instead of the Linksys PCI Adapter because it was cheaper. Big mistake. In addition to having a painfully awkward setup and installation process, it just plain didn't work. When I called Netgear's (outsourced) tech support, they were functionally useless as well. They were unfriendly at best and downright hostile at worst.
  
  I can't comment on Linksys's tech support, mostly because I've never needed it. In addition to a wireless router I've purchased from them, the PCI adapter I bought works great. Don't be a skinflint here. Buy a Linksys product now; otherwise, you'll just end up buying one later.
  
  
• Order the right one!
  By A2CV2HJEV6QDIK on 2004-06-06
  I ordered the NETGEAR WGT624 Wireless Router, and this card as a PCI connection. However, the card and the router were incompatible, which was an irritating waste of my time. I saved time by going to a brick and mortar store, locating the compatible card, and buying it there. Don't misunderstand me -- it works great now, and I'm very happy with the ease of installation. I just wish someone would have warned me that not all NETGEAR products are compatible with one another, even when they are so close to being identical.
  Just for the record, I ordered the WG311 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter, and needed the WG311T 108 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter.
  If someone can explain why I should have known they are incompatible, other than the adapter cannot utilize the full range of the router's capability, I'd appreciate the insight.
  
  
• WG311v2 Causes Windows XP to Freeze
  By A1MUHKYZK6XCYH on 2004-07-27
  Installation is straightforward, as it usually is with Netgear products. After a bit of fiddling (namely disabling the 'g' mode), which really should not have been necessary, given that it was talking with another Netgear product (the MR814 router), connectivity and throughput seemed solid. Unfortunately, my system would freeze (such that only a hard reset would revive it) any time I tried to play an AVI or MP3 file. I'm not sure what bizzare interaction is causing this, but it is a known and well documented issue (just Google "wg311 freeze") with these boards. Netgear support was useless, and they seem unwilling or unable to resolve the problem. My recommendation: stay away! And a lesson for me: do more research before making purchases...
  
  
• Dell does not support this product
  By A201IZZNQ3CTL0 on 2005-04-27
  I am having exactly the same issue as some others with a dell dimension and a wg311 Netgear card. I get the same "NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error", hardware malfunction blue screen on shutdown. When I remove the card the computer shuts down normally. With the card installed, I always get the blue screen on shut down. This is completely reproducible and consistent.
  I just got off the phone with Dell technical support and spoke to "Dhocz".
  I was told that Dell Dimension is not compatible with this Netgear card.
  I don't know what else to say, but I'm P.O.ed. She said to call Dell sales department and they would be happy to sell me a compatible card.
  If I were Netgear, I'd be a little worried or at least offended since Dell has such a large market share.
  
  
• Works great, but you must pick the right way to install
  By AOI61SEQNEOSR on 2005-06-19
  As detailed in many other reviews before this, the included software has a problem with XP2. In my case, the software installed fine, but would drop signal frequently, and it was all very frustrating. BTW, the CD had the latest version of the software. Here's the right way to install:
  1. Uninstall bundled software.
  2. Reboot
  3. At the 'Found new hardware, install driver' dialog, choose 'Have Disk' or equivalent, and point it to the 'drivers\XP' folder on the CD.
  4. Done.
  
  This has the net result of ditching Netgear's wireless manager in favor of the in built windows one, which is perfectly adequate. I'm getting 4 bars out of 5 with the router in the basement and the desktop in the 2nd floor.
  
  Good product, faulty software.
  
  
• DO NOT BUY THIS
  By AV14WIECBJ6PF on 2005-12-13
  This hardware is not compatible with Windows XP. That's all there is to it.
  
  Windows XP SP2 was released in late 2004 and is pretty much the "standard" version of XP, now that it comes pre-installed on most new computers. You would think therefore that a wireless adaptor bought in August 2005 (with the latest drivers from May 2005) and claiming to be XP-compatible would actually work with SP2. Do not be fooled into thinking this.
  
  I have installed / uninstalled / re-installed the hardware and drivers countless times and tried using both the Windows wireless software and the bundled Netgear software to no avail.
  
  It has on occasion connected to my 3Com wireless router but never for more than a few minutes. My laptop (which is Netgear-free) happily connects from over 40 feet away, without ever dropping the connection. My PC (which is "equipped" with this useless adaptor) is currently six feet away from the router and in the same room, yet is unable to find the wireless network.
  
  In short, this is a piece of kit which I would recommend you steer well away from. I will not be buying any Netgear products in the future and hope that Amazon, as well as other retailers, stop stocking this piece of junk in the interest of consumers.
  
  Here are some alternate uses for the adaptor, for those unfortunate enough to have paid for one:
  
  1) A wedge for unstable chairs / grand pianos.
  2) A single-use frisbee. Works best in rough seas.
  3) Firewood.
  4) A novelty toilet brush.
  5) Cat litter.
  
  I'm off to buy a Linksys adaptor.
  
  
• Even works in an older, Win 98SE PC
  By A1KM9ON4PYUZFW on 2006-01-15
  Background
  I needed to find a wireless PCI card for my son's old Win 98SE PC so he could get to Nickjr.com and all those fun kid sites. I found that I would need to upgrade my older Netgear 802.11b wireless router, but I couldn't find ONE router with generally good reviews. They seemed to be all over the map - some people loved it - others hated it. Since I had good luck with my original Netgear, I decided to go with the Netgear brand and ended up buying three items from Amazon due to the deal they ran ($25 off) and the Netgear rebates. I purchased:
  
  Netgear WG511 Wireless 802.11g PC Card
  Netgear WG311 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter
  Netgear WGR614 802.11g Wireless Router (version 6)
  
  The PCMCIA card was for my work laptop (Win2K) and the router was for the family's main PC (XP SP2). We have a cable ISP (Optimum).
  
  Router Installation
  I uninstalled all hardware/software for the original router and followed the instructions as prompted by the installation software for the new router. I had absolutely no problems. I didn't even need to bring down any new firmware - I have "version 6" of the router which could make a difference I guess.
  
  First Use
  After stepping through the installation, logging on to the router, and setting the wireless encryption, etc. I was up and running on the main PC. It took no longer than 30 minutes.
  
  Wireless Installs
  The PCMCIA card install on my laptop was just as smooth. The card sensed the wireless signal (as well as a few other secure and unsecured networks in my neighborhood). I added the encryption key (WPA-PSK) and was off and surfing. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were over and they both had their laptops (with non-Netgear wireless routers) and they were able to hop on the router after I gave them the encryption key. My son's PC - which I was expecting to be problematic due to it being 98SE - was smooth as well. His PC is in his room directly above the router and it grabbed the signal right away.
  
  Wireless Use
  As I mentioned above, we had 4 people wirelessly connected and they all were surfing as if hardwire connected. It was very impressive. I have not experienced any dropped signals nor have I had to reset the router in the past 3 weeks of daily use.
  
  Price
  I paid $118 for all three of the items together (about $40 for each item), but I got $25 off immediately from Amazon and will be getting another $40 back from Netgear. So - $50 and change for the three of them.
  
  
• Poor support, unsupported drivers and freezes WIN XP
  By A1WZ8XWET83J9K on 2004-01-29
  I purchased the wirless g router and pci card, which all installed fairly easy. I initially (first hour or so) got a constant connection of 54mbs but then the system would freeze after about 5 minutes and I would have to power off and reboot. I tried all the pci slots updated my motherboad's drivers with no luck. I searched Netgear site for support and checked message boards. I found out that a lot of people were having similar problems so I decided to return the card and try Microsoft's pci card. WOW!!!!!! constant 54mbs connection, no pc freeze and no dropped connection.
  
  
• No WPA
  By A37HLN0ZOHP275 on 2004-09-13
  This was my second attempt at installing a wireless network card in one of desktops.
  
  My first went horribly - the D-Link DWL-G520 locked my PC every time I attempted to boot, nothing fixed it. Reviews mentioned a compatibility problem with it and on-board sound cards. I was informed that Netgear and D-Link used the same chipset - so I bought the WG311v2.
  
  The install went fairly smooth. Initially I received an install error, but a second attempt went fine and the card was up and running. Unlike the D-Link - this card didn`t lock up the PC and I had great reception.
  
  After a day of "testing" the card out - I decided to upgrade to the newest driver and connect with WPA (which was why I went with the card)...but after multiple attempts I simply couldn`t get the utility software to update to utilize WPA. The driver would update - but without access to necessary setup screens for control of the higher security.
  
  While this is a good card, easy to setup/install - without the strength of WPA security I find it difficult to stay with it.
  
  
  
  
• An Absolutely terrible product
  By A3ORSUIY0SLV6X on 2005-07-02
  I have owned this card for a month and a half now and tried every possible thing to get it to work, but the conclusion is, it doesn't ! When you buy it, you CANNOT install it using the software it comes with. You MUST first go to the website and download NEW DRIVERS for Windows XP SP2 (which is difficult when youre trying to gain internet access in the first place). If you install the software that comes with the card, you will not be able to connect to the internet at all! Unfortunately, the NEW drivers have their own problems, including signal drop-outs and CPU spikes that temporarily freeze the computer every few minutes, which is especially noticeable when using winamp for music. Just scroll down the reviews for conformation of this.
  
  Now I have a Dell Dimension 2.8ghz with a whopping GIG of RAM. There is NO CONCEIVABLE reason for the problems that come with this card. The only possible reason I can think of is that the NETGEAR card is simply not compatable with DELL PC's. I am forced to seriously question the quality of the hardware in this card. I bought this card because it was cheaper, but spend the extra $10 and get a linksys. I guarantee the headaches you will save yourself are more than worth it.

• conflict with XP
  By A18ZOFJAMAU28C on 2006-11-05
  I have had to alter the way people log on and off my computer. The software alters the way the computer will now let you log on and off. I can no longer switch users, each user has to log off. I would not buy this brand again.
  
  
• wg311v2
  By ASUQYTKSFBCO2 on 2006-11-20
  Terrible product. I have tried using the Windows XP wireless application with just the netgear drivers and tried using the Netgear wireless application with the netgear drivers. Using either one the card disconnects at random using WPA, then you have to repair the connection and sometimes reboot to get the connection back. I reinstalled windows both times I changed drivers just to make sure nothing was conflicting with it, but nothing helped. Latest drivers are 2_0_0_7 and were published in Nov 2004, so netgear has moved on to other cards and is not supporting this one any longer.
  
  
• Beware
  By on 2004-05-25
  After a considerable amount of time, I decided it was time to augment my home network with a wireless system. I decided that there was no other option than to select hardware that supported WPA encryption. The WEP encryption is very weak (I have heard that it can take less than thirty seconds to crack), and the piece of mind is well worth the extra money. The Netgear router and pc card I purchased (WGR614v4 & WG511v2 respectively) have worked flawlessly. The security upgrades to enable WPA were available on the Netgear site were easy to install, and once again - worked flawlessly. My disappointment came when I found that the pci card I purchased at the same time to use on a PC that was too difficult to wire in, was not going to work. The WG311 was supposed to have a firmware upgrade to WPA in the 'February timeframe' according to Netgear. This target has obviously come and gone. I have emailed Netgear several times, but they have not emailed back. In respect to the setup, design, functionality, and ease of use - I am impressed with most of my purchase. The unfortunate thing is that when this company fails, it does so in a big way.
  
  
• Purchase at own risk.
  By A3JDTXDXYCC9IA on 2004-08-15
  Some people have had good luck with this product; a great many, however, have not. I am one of the latter. I purchased this product, and installed it, and that's where the fun begins. The card was apparently unable to connect to my network if I was using any channel other than 11. That's when it would connect at all. As an added bonus, every 20 seconds or so, my PC would freeze for 1-2 seconds at a time. This seems to be a common issue with this product and Windows 2000 or XP. In short, I am less than impressed.
  
  
• System freeze with Win XP Home
  By A2QEIU7F06SS2K on 2004-09-17
  This works fine with Windows 98SE but I moved it to a spanking new Windows XP Home machine (P4 2.4GHz etc).
  
  The Netgear control panel would often disappear by itself without connecting to the network.
  
  This morning, the system froze everytime the Netgear control panel came up. I had to disable the wireless card in order to boot Windows normally.
  
  
  
  
• Problem with Windows XP SP2
  By A3SFVVC8JYDB81 on 2004-12-12
  Got this adapter for my Dell Dimension 8400 with Windwos XP SP2. The firmware comes with the card would not allow the card to be installed correctly. The Netgear web site claimed that the latest driver 2.0.0.7 had solved the problem. I downloaded it and installed the driver. The card seems working but every time when I shut down the PC, I get a blue screen with memory parity error message and system halted. If I unplug the card, PC will shut down correctly. Netgear tech support just keep telling me to install the latest driver or install SP2 patch. All these do not solve the problem. Finally they admit that there's compatibility issue with XP SP2. They are "working on new driver" but there's no schedule for release. Stuck with the blue screen.
  
  
  
• Get a Linksys
  By A3HOJYC391R4I on 2005-04-05
  I installed this unit on a brand new Dell machine. After having problems with the BSOD on shutdown, I downloaded the new drivers and the old drivers -nothing helped. I called Dell support (I didn't even want to call Netgear) and they thought the Blue Screens were coming from a bad motherboard. Dell sent out a technician to replace it. They ran some diagnostics and they came to the same conclusion. It was the wireless card. Like others have said, don't be cheap~ get the Linksys card instead.
  
  
• NetGear - NOT!
  By AG95XBSNDH63Q on 2006-07-23
  I'd stay away from this one. Issues with Windows XP SP2. Netgear does not seam to be able to get all the bugs out.
  
  I have one and have to reboot every few days just so it'll re-connect to my Netgear wireless router.

Just bought a new product from linksys, install was faster, easier, better defined, working flawlessly now.
