About the size of a pack of gun, the WG111US packs a lot of features. View larger. | Easy to Carry, Easier to Setup
About the size of a pack of gum, the WG111US is easy to throw into your purse or pocket. It supports Windows Vista and is also compatible with Windows XP, 2000, 98SE, and Me. The WG111US features a USB 2.0 connection for wide compatibility and high speeds, and setup is as simple as installing the included software and plugging the device into a USB port. A removable cover keeps the connector protected and clean from knocks, dirt and other potential harm. Included is a USB cable making it easier to connect the WG111US to a desktop and saving you the hassle of having to reach for the back of the computer each time you want to connect or disconnect the adapter. Additionally, it allows you to place the adapter at an optimal location for the strongest signal. Also included is a cradle that you can fasten to the wall or a desk for a more stable place to keep the adapter once you've found an ideal location. Fast and Secure
The NETGEAR WG111US supports the 802.11g protocol standard for speeds up to 54 Mbps and a longer range than previous-generation 802.11b adapters. With a good connection, you'll notice the difference right away as you'll be able to stream high-quality music without any hiccups and load videos much faster. Downloading files is up to five times faster than it was with 802.11b. Since 802.11g is also interoperable with 802.11b, you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll get a connection at specific airports and hotspots; the WG111US will automatically detect the network and allow you to connect to it at the highest speed possible. The adapter supports 40/64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for security so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on your emails or stealing your passwords. The included software makes managing different WEP passwords a breeze as you can set up different profiles for each location you frequent, saving yourself the trouble of having to type in encryption keys each time you connect to a hotspot you've already used. The NETGEAR WG111US Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter is backed by a 1-year warranty. What's in the Box

 NETGEAR WG111US Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter December 2, 2008
This product is great as it was very easy to use and install
great vendor
What a bargain! November 27, 2008
I bought this at such a great price, I may as well have stolen it! When I ordered this I thought I was going to get a piece of junk in the mail or worse yet, not get anything at all because I swore it was a joke. I couldn't believe such a handy little piece of equipment was being sold so cheap! I have been using this since the second I opened the package and I do not have any complaints at all. If you need a wi fi adapter and you are on a budget, then this one is for you!
Netgear and Linux October 23, 2008
This is my second Netgear USB wireless adapter. I've been using one happily for a couple years on my desktop (Windows) system.
My neighbor offered me a few old desktop computers he was going to throw out, urging me to try to get one going with parts from the three. (I can't turn down free junk.) The ex-corporate Compaq responded favorably to my tinkering, so it seemed like a good time to download a copy of the Linux operating system to see what that environment is like.
I decided to try the Mandriva distribution after reading summaries of the various kinds at linux.com. The installation went well and I was navigating comfortably in a short while. I plugged in the Netgear adapter into a USB port, and moments later I was informed that my home's wireless network had been found and what was the password? I typed it in and was off and running, just like that.
My compliments to Netgear for making a good, inexpensive adapter, and to Mandriva for having its driver right in their basic installation to handle it.
A product that performs quite well. September 7, 2008
I purchased a desktop recently and needed an object that would grant wireless capability to it. This product was the perfect product for me. The price is mediocre. In contrast, the performance of the product is great. I compared it to my laptop's connectivity and it was little faster than the one on my laptop. Easy to install, looks good too. A great deal.
 this one is very good to me September 2, 2008
