The Bottom Line The WG511T is a good choice for speed demons and those looking for a long-range PC Card adapter. If you're looking for a PC Card adapter with great range, this is it. The Netgear WG111 is one of the best all-around wireless USB adapters we've seen. 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 Belkin N1 adapter is a little better than the competition, but that's not saying much. Hold off on buying Draft N networking equipment for now.
