What's great about it: Its simple to instal and is very powerfull
What's not so great: complicated

"I love this nic its very powerfull and goes great with my netgear router. But the software used is very advanced and it can take time if you dont know what you are doing. Also on startup sometimes the nic has 2 b unpluged and the put beck in because sometimes it does not load. But overall i love it I get great connection i used it for xbox live and i get a great signal with no lag. so if u want a good bang for ur buck get this nic"

works fine but tough installation   06/08/2008
By Cuddy120160 from Chesapeake, VA

What's great about it: works
What's not so great: poor installation directions

"The WNDA3100 works well, but the installation directions and recommendations were absolutely horrible. It took a combined six hours, over three days, to get it working after I rebooted the computer. After restarting the system, it would not connect to the wireless NETGEAR RangeMax Next router. In the installion guide, the instructions recommended using the Neatgear Smart Wizard to setup the wireless adapter during install. It was this advice that appears to be my issue. After installing and uninstalling too many times to count, I went with Windows XP (SP2) to configure and my wireless adapter now automatically connects. Some notes:
Why do device manufactures direct you to a web site if you are installing one of their wireless connection device? They need to include 1-800-anumber in their installation guide tech support section (real customer support) - vice referring to a website that I could not access. :-( Secondly, I had it running once and got a blue screen of death. Seems to be an issue with older versions of the device driver. I had to right click my computer, search for the WAN device, manually remove it and reinstall the software to get the computer to recognize the device....would not recognize the USB device until I manually deleted the USB device and then deleted the Smart Wizard software and reinstalled it. I am sure over time I will enjoy this device, but am very disaapointed with how the install went....and I have intermediate level experience in computer and component installs.
For now I would only recommend this device with caution, since it was such a pain in the A$* to install. I hope this helps with your install."

Great Item   02/12/2008
By Gonzo716 from Angola , N.Y.

What's great about it: Great range and anywhere from 270mbps in the next room
What's not so great: Non Yet

"Great range and anywhere from 270mbps in the next room over, to 240 - 270mbps downstairs. Signal strength is 5 bars on floor with router and 4 - 5 bars downstairs . I even pick up on signals from other houses 100 feet away at 3 bars. I have this hooked up to the Netgear Rangemax Dual Band wireless N Router. (WNDR3300) I tried other routers and usb adapters and found this is by far the best. Setup for this and the router only took about 20 mins. and was very easy. Make sure you Update the drivers"
