Good price but they are refurbished, and have gotten horrible reviews on Amazon. Not a great deal imo.

I can't get mine to work at all after a few hours on a W2K box, and it constantly drops on my XP box. Read the Netgear forums before purchasing, please. There are plenty of threads dedicared to the WG111 adapter unfortunately.

I just got a pair of these Linksys WUSB11 Wireless-B USB Network Adapter for $34 shipped.

For those looking for something similar & less expensive.

I agree.
Also it's frustrating when the signal isn't consistent.
Having suffered from dropped internet connections at various times. I prefer to hardwire my stuff now

In case anyone was wondering, these may or may not work on a Tivo. Certain model numbers work, others aren't even recognized, so it's not worth the risk.

not to too the horn, but they are $9.99 at CompUSA refrub. Just don't have the link infront of me.

Sorry to crap on a thread (its dead now anyway), but I sure am glad I got a USR5421 US Robotics MAXg USB Adapter brand new for $15 after rebates a couple weeks back from CompUSA....

if u live near a frys they tend to have airlink g products for like 8.99 every month or two damn stuff is so dirt cheap its insane. its been going on for over a year now so i consider g type products near worthless. usb/pci/pcmia for 9 bucks. a damned router for 20-25bucks. i have a pcmia on one of my laptops, it works just fine compared to name brand.
