The Bottom Line	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 WG511T is a good choice for speed demons and those looking for a long-range PC Card adapter.	The Netgear WG111 is one of the best all-around wireless USB adapters we've seen.	If you're looking for a PC Card adapter with great range, this is it.	If your priorities don't include long-range connectivity, then by all means get the somewhat ironically named Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240 wireless notebook adapter for its record-breaking short-range speeds.
