CNET Editor's rating: 6.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Stephanie Bruzzese
Review date: 5/2/06
Release date: 4/13/06

The good: The WN511B's list of attributes includes solid maximum throughput, easy setup, thorough documentation, and a full-featured configuration utility.

The bad: When it comes to mixed-mode throughput, the WN511B displays comparatively slow performance, and support for the adapter lags behind that of the competition.

The bottom line: Though the Netgear WN511B notebook adapter is an overall decent performer, its times are still fall far short of the scorching speeds promised by the new draft-N standard. Don't jump on the draft N bandwagon just yet.
