Excellent

8.2

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 8.2 out of 10

The good: Speedy throughput; simple installation; plug-and-play support lets you easily share one adapter among many PCs.

The bad: External installation makes it susceptible to breakage.

The bottom line: The Netgear WG111 is one of the best all-around wireless USB adapters we've seen.
