Average rating: Stars

Beware! This card may not work in your computer!

Had this card for a year and some but didn't use it much. Had occasional freezes of the computer, but didn't think it was the card.
Got a wireless router as a present - and this card froze the computer multiple times. New drivers, different drivers, problems installing/uninstalling drivers, cleaning computer, reinistalling, calling tech support via email, then phone - nothing worked. Still get freezes.
Netgear forums are full to the neck with tales of how this card, and other similar Netgear cards, freeze computers left, right, and center. Netgear has no response, period. Tech support has fishy tale about how a computer with too many functions on one interrupt can hang driver - but, after all this trouble, putting Linksys adapter in this computer worked as a solution with no problem.
Stay away from this card, really.

Beware of Netgear rebate deals !

I bought three Netgear wireless devices from Amazon.com at separate times, sent in my rebate forms over 8 weeks ago but did not receive the rebates. I called to inquire about the status and was told that there is no record. To miss all 3 separate mail-ins is just incredible! This comfirms what some other customers had commented about Netgear rebates.

Very Irritated with Product

I loved this thing for the first month and a half. It has strong reception throughout our house and it was extremely fast.

However, it has now ceased working. It began running my CPU at 100% and kept having to reconnect to the internet. Now, none of the LED lights turn on when it's inserted into the computer. (btw. I have a Gateway, not Compaq) I get the Code 10 error with whatever I try to do.

Stay away from this product. I do also own the Netgear router and that still works just fine (knock on wood). I think that it's just this defective piece of crap.
