What our customer's say!

"Wireless range for this is weak.", Wireless range on this is weak. I have an intel card that reads 4/5 bars when this adapter reads 2/5 bars. I like netgear equipment but can't recommend this adapter.

"Works great in spite of abuse", This unit set right up on my daughters desktop computer. It wasn't quite plug and play, as I did have to load the driver from the disc that came with the unit. But, it didn't have any issues with loading.

It was worked fine for the most part, in spite of my daughter throwing it across the room. She also kicks it around and steps on it. The little plastic that goes around the antenna has popped off, but we were able to pop it back on.

We did have a couple of occasions where it did cease to work. I am not sure what happened. My daughter's computer was a mess due to viruses and spyware from all the sites she visited. To get it working again, we just had to plug it into a different USB port on the computer.

"Poor Reliability", Easy to set up and worked great except two different routers failed within the first 8 hours of use. The outsourced tech support (email and voice) was marginally acceptable with garbled email due to different ascii character sets.

Be sure of vendors return policie before you buy.

"Simply the best!!!", I must confess that this is one of the equipment I ever had without hassel in configuring it. It works straight right out of the box. It still keeps me connected. It's surely the best!!! I will highly recommend it... Signal strength is great!!!

"WORKS GREAT", I did a lot of reading before I bought this... I bought it refurbed for 20 dollars and was really worried about getting it hooked up right.. I have XP Pro and an SMC router so reading the reviews I was left a little unsure if it would work or not... plugged in and installed... and worked great.. I am streaming music working remotely and writing this review.. I am no techy nor am I a network admin.. but I know how to plug things in and install them.. so far no stalls in music or in remote access... in fact I dare to say its rippin fast... I turned off windows ability to shut down the device when not in use so that may solve some XP headaches.. but as far as I am concerned this was a great investment.. I no longer have the cable from my living room to my room have two doors closed and am getting a "very good" signal... so I say if you are thinking about it.. get it..

"Great for internet and TiVO", I am currently using this on my Win98 system w/o any difficulties. The plug and play worked flawlessly. It's very reliable. I haven't had any problems. I just started using it on my TiVO Series 2 unit without any problems. No more wires. After I changed the settings thru the TiVO menu, it takes care of itself. This gets great reception thru 2 walls and 100 feet.

"Works great", I use this on my laptop and haven't had any connection problems anywhere. I can go anywhere in my house and about 25 feet outside my house without losing the connection. Great product!

"Wireless Zero COnfiguration", I loved the MA101 when I used it on my Windows 98SE and Windows
2000 machines. It's a different story for Windows XP. Contrary
to some of the stuff posted to the google news groups you can
use either the old 1.1 version drivers or the newer version 2.1.
Most use the new drivers with XP. The "trick" is to let XP make
your connections, but then shut off wireless zero config AFTER
the connection is made. You can do this with services.msc or
write a script linked to a short-cut to do this. If you don't
shut off WZC the connection will hang every minute or so and
XP re-scans your NICs. This makes gaming impossible.

Netgear would get 5 stars if they just made a quality XP driver
available. This may not be possible because the firware cannot
be upgraded to the WZC MS standard AFAIK.

"Netgear MA101 review", This is a great adapter. We use it on our desktop and laptop computers. It's faster than the cable modem attached to the computer and has never failed. It's usually connected to the computer in the basement three floors down and works without a problem. I believe if you buy it you won't be sorry

"Troublesome on Windows XP", Tried (with Netgear wireless router MR814) many times on Win XP Home and failed. Talked with Tech Support several times and they can't fix it. Also find that Netgear MR814 drop SSH connections after 5 min's idle. Then return them all. Now I am using Siemens USB adapter and D-Link PC Card and they are working fine.
