Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
This RangeMax NEXT PCI adapter ensures that your desktop computer can connect from anywhere in your home, with maximum coverage and bandwidth, enabling you and the rest of your household to simultaneously connect to multiple Internet services, including online gaming, video streaming, and MP3 downloads.When used in conjunction with NETGEAR's WNR834B RangeMax NEXT wireless cable router, the WN311B PCI adapter will provide maximum coverage and bandwidth, enabling you and your entire household to simultaneously connect to multiple Internet services and online media.To explain the capabilities of RangeMax NEXT wireless router and adapters further: Imagine connecting to the Internet from anywhere in the house, without a cable. Then imagine everyone in the house connecting at the same time, and all doing things online or over the network - all at the same time: Watching a Hi-Definition video or TV program in the living room, browsing the Internet in the study, playing online games in the den, downloading MP3 music from the dining room - all at the same time. This is what RangeMax NEXT is capable of, all over a single home wireless network that provides a constant, 'rock-steady' connection.With the RangeMax NEXT PCI desktop PC adapter inserted, your computer will maintain a steady, constant connection (when used in conjunction with the WNR834B Wireless Router), with sufficient bandwidth available to stream, download, browse the Internet, and transfer files all at the same time.With RangeMax NEXT you should not experience any more frustrating interruptions or freezes, just a constant connection that enables you and your household to use the Internet and wireless network as you choose, whenever you choose.Touchless WiFi Security makes creating the highest level of network security easy and includes industry standard wireless encryption standards for you to choose from: WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. These security features enable you to 'lock-down' your home wireless network, protecting you against unwanted intruders.As with all NETGEAR wireless products, the WN311B RangeMax NEXT wireless PCI adapter is easy to set-up with NETGEAR's Smart Wizard. This RangeMax NEXT adapter is backward compatible with existing wireless devices, including 54 Mbps 802.11g and 11 Mbps 802.11b - but bear in mind that the coverage and bandwidth won't be as good with these devices on your home wireless network.

Like others, this didn't work for me out of the box, and I wasted many hours installing, uninstalling and talking to tech support in a vain attempt to get Win 7 (64 bit) to recognise the card. It turns out that the driver which comes on the CD is very outdated (2007!), and new installation exe was released on 26th July 2010.
Go to http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2605, and click the 'Download' tab. This will show a file labeled "WN311B Software Version 7.1". You have to click on the yellow button saying 'Right-click and save to download' (don't do 'save target as'!), and then click on 'Continue without registering' on the next registration page. You shoud then be able to download the exe, called "WN311B_setup_V7.1_230-10342-09".
Now - uninstall the previous stuff from the CD, and remove the adapter card from the PC. Run "WN311B_setup_V7.1_230-10342-09", and it will install the working driver set. IMPORTANT : When it gets to the part where it asks you to shutdown the PC to seat the card, CLICK 'NEXT' at the bottom! This continues the software install. Only once this completes switch off the PC & put the card in (with the antenna).
When you restart, it will install the drivers, and the much dreamed-off config part of the install will start up! You can then add in your wireless network details as standard, and Bob's your uncle!
The adapter itself is great!! Much faster than my previous dongle. So 9/10 for the product, but 1/10 for Netgear a) selling this is Win 7 compatible when it wasn't, and b) not providing a Win 7 driver *many* months earlier!

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) and have wasted hours trying to install this card ...... Eventually gave up and reverted to a USB adaptor.
Do not bother it is a waste of time.
