| kskaggs's Full Review: NetGear WG311T Wireless Access Point |
I had a lightening strike on my router and had to replace it. Bought the same router as before because it was on sale.
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up. Five minutes and I was up and running.
I was even more surprised when I went to check the signal strength. I am getting the full 54 MBPS rate with the new version in the same spot that I only got 1 to 2 MBPS with the old version router.
For comparison, here's the old review with version 2.0:
I found this card, used with a Netgear router WGR614, to be very weak. The environment it was used in consisted of a two story wood frame house. Within this house the router and card couldn't maintain a signal 40 feet from each other. Tech support told me that I needed to move the computer closer to the router. If I was buying another set of wireless routers and access points I would buy a brand which had signal boosters available.
