NETGEAR N150 USB DRIVER WNA 1100 OLD VERSION PC
Hence I have now downgraded to 1 star, this is only suitable for connection your PC to a slow (<5Mbps) broadband connection, and even then there must be better ones out there for the same price. It turns out this Netgear adapter was only getting around 5Mbps which the Sky one gets between 33-42Mbps (so 7-8 times faster) which is roughly the speed of my laptop upstairs. I downloaded a free network speed test tool (LAN speed test) to test the connection speeds. I'm not using it as a booster though, just a replacement wireless adapter (it isn't advertised as this but works a treat!). The PC effectively became unusable and I did all work via the laptop for a while. However now I have my NAS (basically another PC where I store my file so have to transfer them over the network) I've noticed a huge difference in transfer speeds between the computer using this adapter and my laptop (even when it is upstairs next to the PC), especially large photos from my camera (around 5MB). Until then the connection had seemed ok as my Sky broadband connection is only around 3Mbps so basically any connection fast than this from the adapter would have been fine. It still drops frequently (once a day), but I didn't realise how bad the product was until I got my NAS box. Downgraded review from 5 to 3 star, which may even be a bit generous.ĪNOTHER UPDATE: Been using this product for over a year now and not impressed. This is something to do with channels but safe to say I'm not impressed. Third since I receive my new Sky (n) router it only connects at 65Mbps, rather than the 150Mbps I expected. Second is the my PC appears to run slower since installation (not a huge amount but it is noticeable, it is an old XP machine). Main one is at least once per session the signal drops and I have to select the Repair option to get connected again. UPDATE: Been using this product for the past month now and have noted some issues. The latest version comes with a cradle with usb extension so the stick can sit on your desk should you want to see it or move for better reception I presume. The product I received appears to be the newer (latest) version of the product according to the netgear website so very happy with this. There is a customer image on the main page too, this is what I received. NOTE: the product pictured is not the one received. As such also not yet tried the push button to connect securely.

I am only connected at 54Mbps (g) as I'm still waiting for my (n) router upgrade from Sky. I have an excellent signal strength even though the PC and router are on different floors, although our house is that big nor the walls particularly thick.

Setup was very simple, installed software first from supplied CD, plugged in usb stick and seconds later I was online. Bought this product for my desktop PC (Windows XP) after moving router downstairs as stupid Sky box doesn't have wireless.
