I bought two of these cards and had a lot of trouble getting them to work under Windows XP and Windows 2000. To cut a long story short I could only get them to work reliably under Windows XP, and then only with the oldest drivers on the CD - the latest drivers off the Web site blue-screened XP. None of the drivers are certified. I received no help from Netgear's support in spite of several attempts to contact them.

Superb card but took some tweaking to make it work. Helpline was very difficult to get through to (10mins plus on 0870 number, must be more profitable than the factory!)
Although tech support were helpful I eventually had to solve the problem myself, a conflict with my onboard network card (IBM T22)Disabling this card in Device Manager allowed the card to work. Combined with my Netgear ADSL router I now have Internet Network access all over my house.
Good gear, Netgear

Another superb bit of wireless kit from Netgear.
A great partner for the DG824M. 100% range at all times. No probs with the drivers and a cinch to set up. Top notch kit at a great price!
