Reviews of the Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240 Wi-Fi adapter demonstrated fantastic maximum and mixed-mode throughput over shorter distances. It also offers a simple setup process, comprehensible documentation, WPA support, and an all-inclusive configuration utility.
The Bad: The Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240 Wi-Fi adapter doesn't provide the exceptional long-range performance touted by MIMO's architects.
The Bottom Line: 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.
