 About the size of a pack of gun, the WG111US packs a lot of features. View larger. | Easy to Carry, Easier to Setup
About the size of a pack of gum, the WG111US is easy to throw into your purse or pocket. It supports Windows Vista and is also compatible with Windows XP, 2000, 98SE, and Me. The WG111US features a USB 2.0 connection for wide compatibility and high speeds, and setup is as simple as installing the included software and plugging the device into a USB port. A removable cover keeps the connector protected and clean from knocks, dirt and other potential harm.
Included is a USB cable making it easier to connect the WG111US to a desktop and saving you the hassle of having to reach for the back of the computer each time you want to connect or disconnect the adapter. Additionally, it allows you to place the adapter at an optimal location for the strongest signal. Also included is a cradle that you can fasten to the wall or a desk for a more stable place to keep the adapter once you've found an ideal location.
Fast and Secure
The NETGEAR WG111US supports the 802.11g protocol standard for speeds up to 54 Mbps and a longer range than previous-generation 802.11b adapters. With a good connection, you'll notice the difference right away as you'll be able to stream high-quality music without any hiccups and load videos much faster. Downloading files is up to five times faster than it was with 802.11b. Since 802.11g is also interoperable with 802.11b, you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll get a connection at specific airports and hotspots; the WG111US will automatically detect the network and allow you to connect to it at the highest speed possible.
The adapter supports 40/64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for security so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on your emails or stealing your passwords. The included software makes managing different WEP passwords a breeze as you can set up different profiles for each location you frequent, saving yourself the trouble of having to type in encryption keys each time you connect to a hotspot you've already used.
The NETGEAR WG111US Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter is backed by a 1-year warranty.

Rating:  - One of the Best Wireless G adapters available
The Netgear wg111us wireless USB adapter Pulls in signals well and holds em well. I have tried many brands and models of wireless USB adapters, but I keep buying more of these for a reason. I use a linksys router and these adapters(you cannot go wrong for the price)!
Rating: - Painless to Install and Use this USB Wireless Adapter
I purchased a Vista laptop a few months back and no longer needed my XP desktop on the first floor of the house. The problem was, I dreaded the prospect of having to get a super long ethernet extension cord and tediously staple-gunning it along the wall all the way down to where I wanted to put my computer in the basement. The other option was to get some sort of wireless card installed to my desktop, but I'm not that tech-savvy and generally try to avoid ulcer-causing IT-related nightmares.

Rating:  - Unreliable Pice of Junk
I purchased this product in conjuntion with my Windows Vista Computer. The instalation was easy and it semed to work fine. But as the weeks went on I started to see a reduction in performence. I would end up sitting at my computer for 30min trying to connect to my network, and every time it would fail. and when I did connect, it would sometimes dissconnect for no reason. All in all this addapter is not reliable and can become a pain. So thats why I reccomend a Linksys Wierless G Addaper instead. I ... Read More

I bought this item in October, plugged it in, things were good (with XP). Now it's the end of February, and suddenly one day.. nothing. It just stopped working. The day before it was working fine, the next, dead.
Unfortunately, there is nothing on the device to allow for a reset. My computer simply makes an angry beeping noise when I plug in it (instead of the usual fairly happy sounding noise). I'm debating not using a wireless usb at all and just using a wire.. I've looked at a couple ... Read More
Rating:  - Netgear WG111US
I'm using this with a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and so far it works, most of the time. I say most of the time because at least once a day it'll drop the wireless connection for a few seconds. It's not the WG111 because I've tried other USB Wireless-G adapters and those also dropped connection at least once a day. It must be my room.
