Netgear RangeMax WN511B adapter Review

netgra.gif

CNet has reviewed Netgear RangeMax WN511B adapter. For users who want a new adapter pronto, the Netgear WPNT511 provides especially fast maximum and mixed-mode throughput, while the Belkin Pre-N PC Card includes a more well-balanced mix of short- and long-range speed. (Keep in mind, though, that MIMO-based adapters that were released prior to this Draft N spec use proprietary technology and may not show such good performance when mixed with networking products from other vendors.

Overall, the Netgear WN511B adapter outperformed Linksys's WPC300N Draft N adapter, but it is by no means a killer product. We're still not sold on the performances of the Draft N networking products we've tested so far, and we have a few more to check out. Our recommendation is to be patient and wait to see future iterations of Draft N products.

Rating:6/10
