About the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511
The NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511 gives you ultimate mobility in your office or
while you are traveling. It frees you from traditional Ethernet wiring and helps you create a
wireless network for sharing your broadband cable or DSL Internet access among multiple PCs in
and around your home. It is designed for notebook computers running Microsoft
both 16-bit PCMCIA and 32-bit CardBus compatible and works in any available PCMCIA or
CardBus slot.
Its auto-sensing capability allows the highest packet transfer at up to 54 Mbps for maximum
throughput or dynamic range shifting to lower speeds due to distance or operating limitations in an
environment with a lot of electromagnetic interference.
It provides reliable, standards-based 802.11b 11 Mbps WLAN connectivity that is protected with
industry-standard security. In addition, it offers the faster speeds of the soon-to-be ratified 802.11g
standard. It works with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP operating systems.
