| Review summary | If you're looking for a PC Card adapter with great range, this is it. | The Netgear WPN511 offers outstanding 802.11g and long-range speed when used with its router counterpart, the WPN824, but its performance suffers in mixed-mode environments. | The Buffalo MIMO card (with companion router) is not as fast as other vendors' router/card MIMO combos, but it's no laggard, either. | The Belkin Pre-N PC Card provides more MIMO bang for your buck than the Linksys WPC54GX. | This MIMO card's reliability issues mean you're better off paying more for a better product. |
