NETGEAR WN111 USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter

Comment:
Very satisfied with this product, would recommend to anyone. It works as advertised, easy to use, just install software and plug it in.

Comment:
works well. don't know why the faster 108 mbps not achieved.

Comment:
Opened the package, followed the instructions, downloaded the software and hooked up the adapter. 10 minutes and I was connected to my N router. Really easy to use.

Comment:
You may get one that was returned because it didn't work right. I stopped using this one and instead I use my EnGenius one. This one overheats. There are other reviews here that mention overheating. My computer is worth too much to risk on a hot wireless adapter.

Comment:
Frustrated that I wasted $60 on 2 Sabrent PCI cards that would only achieve 135Mbps and drop to 0Mbps frequently, I tried this USB adapter. I was quite amazed that I got the full 300Mbps connection first try. I would definitely recommend!

I bought this to use in my 5th Wheel RV. I've had it for a week. No problems so far. I have consistent high-speed wireless connections with no dropped conections. I am hooked up at home using my netgear router (WPN824). When I am camping I will be connecting to wireless hotspots. Most RV campgrounds have them. Cons: Only thing I was upset about this order is when it's a recertified it does not come with any software or manual. You have to download it which it not a problem, just a hassle. Also the Ser. number is marked out. It was a great buy and it works. It's not a dual range only 2.4GHz. Other than these cons, I would recommend it to others.

Bought this Wireless USB Adapter and is very happy with it.Will encourage people to get one who need this type of an adapter. Bernhard.

Comment:
With this being a Wireless N device, does anyone know which frequency this thing operates at, 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz?

Comment:
I've had no issues installing and using the adapter. No problems downloading the WIN7 drivers. Funny thing is that the connection speed I get with it is GOOD and 4 bars versus the EXCELLENT and 5 bars I get with the S A B R E N T n adapter.

I bought 2 of these and went to the vendor's web site to download the drivers. They don't give you the drivers, they give you some stupid software you have to install which does not recognize the unit that is plugged in. Windows recognizes it but the drivers are not there because it's packaged in the .exe file I have to install. Whoever is sitting on the decision desk at Netgear is a total moron.

Comment:
I was supprised at how this product worked. I download the drivers from netgear and it work perfectly. I was supprised at the speed compared to what I was using. Good price, good deal.

Comment:
It does take a little to figure out download driver and in my case Windows XP. It took me about 1 hour because software and driver installation kept locking, but eventually it installed. Then I just set my parameters for my verizon router and its working great, so far. Takes a little computer knowledge if you buy this product, it doesn't just connect when hardware is installed. I received it without cd installation, maybe with cd it would be easier. So finally my resaon for score of 4 is because of the installation process but the hardware gets a 5

I bought 2 Netgear recertified USB wireless adapter. Both failed on high speed download. It can only be used for low usage internet browsing. Netgear don't support these kind devices after warranty period. Don't it....

Comment:
Great buy for the price. Just need to download the drivers and software from Netgear dot com No issues after 4 weeks of continous use.

Comment:
Simply stated, this product did not work. When you go to the vendor's website to obtain driver, two versions are presented and it is not possible to determine which one is appropriate for this device. It was not recognized by my windows OS 7 or vista, most likely because it was defective. Reviews for this product are mostly good, but I guess it depends on if you get a working unit. It doesn't matter what the item costs when it doesn't work. You should spend a few xtra bucks and get a better quality item.

Comment:
It does what is supposed to; works great, and the refurb value is unquestionable.

Comment:
The $9.99 model is just as good. The first one didn't work but the return replacement only process was very customer friendly. I may need a router to match up better, but would not buy it again.

Comment:
I purchased this product never before having a Netgear item. It has been an excellent deal for the money. I had some trouble at first getting it to wake up after computer went to sleep but it works great now.

Comment:
only paid 14.00 very good price for n type adapter. only problem had to go to web site for drivers. and had 2 to pick from this one took 1.1 and not 2.0. been working for about 2 weeks with no problems.

Comment:
Newer computers USB port can turn off your device to save power. Go into your computers control panel and disable their ability to do this or you may have problems.

Comment:
I recently purchased this adapter to use for a DELL Desktop. Every time I log out, the adapter turns off. It takes up to 5 minutes to re-connect after a log out. If the computer goes to sleep, it also turns off. It is also slow when it works. DO NOT BUY THIS ADAPTER! Please spend more money on something of better quality, not Netgear.

I recently upgraded my home network with a wireless-N router. This USB modem allows me to connect to the wireless-N network Using my existing notebooks. The USB modem just plugs into my USB port and detects and connects to my Wireless --N network with no hassles or problems. Great product.

Comment:
Have W Vista on my desktop popped this in -computer installed drivers and I was all set. For those of you who are getting a weak signal-- check your router security you must add this device with your password protect code.So easy I'm back for another one, how can you beat the price.

Comment:

Bought 2 when upgrading my home network - setup was a snap. It seems like I've had problems with a neighbor's network
