Me compre este producto a pesar de toda la critica que tenia, si …tuve problemas con la tarjeta, bastantes problemas, los drivers con los que viene son malisimos y no esperes que te funcione sin que los actualizes, peor si usas WinXP sin actualizar.
Una vez que logre actualizar los drivers de la tarjeta y WinXP ha funcionado de maravilla y no ha presentado absolutamente ningun problema.

I have no experience with this product specifically, but this line from their product description caught my attention:
“And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you can rest assured that your wireless network communications are private.”
Make no mistake – WEP is NOT a secure wireless protocol! Do research on the subject matter and you will find that your 128 bit WEP key can be sniffed and cracked using just two intruding laptops and freely available hacking tools in under 30 min.
If you are really concerned about wireless security, look for a product that supports WPA-PSK.

Had this card for a year and some but didn’t use it much. Had occasional freezes of the computer, but didn’t think it was the card.
Got a wireless router as a present – and this card froze the computer multiple times. New drivers, different drivers, problems installing/uninstalling drivers, cleaning computer, reinistalling, calling tech support via email, then phone – nothing worked. Still get freezes.
Netgear forums are full to the neck with tales of how this card, and other similar Netgear cards, freeze computers left, right, and center. Netgear has no response, period. Tech support has fishy tale about how a computer with too many functions on one interrupt can hang driver – but, after all this trouble, putting Linksys adapter in this computer worked as a solution with no problem.
Stay away from this card, really.
