Netgear Adapters

I'm all set to go wireless, got me new Netgear router supplied by my ISP, and just going to buy an adapter WG111, wen I read the reviews on Amazon that, overall, said Netgear is crap! Also there was a thought that "stick" looking adapter is not worth buying (abt £25) and that if u must buy a card type.

Pls, any thoughts welcome :confused:

    I have a WG111 (first version) and I've never had problems with it, very reliable and simple to use. Had it for a few years now with almost constant use.

    I have a WG111 (v2) and it's fine.

    I used to have a Linksys router & adaptor, but switched to Netgear when I moved house and had to change from DSL to ADSL connection. Linksys was fine, but Netgear is miles better.

    I have a Netgear WG111T (faster version) and it's been fine. Hangs maybe once a month, but I have been told by friends that they all do that, whatever make you buy.

    Appreciate that - I think yr last bit abt "they all do that" really is the clincher and I'm just going to have to give it a go!
