Summary: purchaseER BEWARE!! NO Super-G 108Mbps speeds for Vista
Comments: There are serious driver issues with this card when it comes to Vista.
1) Netgear's latest driver (v.5.2) does not allow speeds greater than 54Mbps on Vista. The "latest" driver was released back in Novemver 2007. Previous versions do not work either. FYI I am using this card with the Netgear's Super-G 108Mbps WGT624 v3 router running the latest firmware version V2.0.26_1.0.1NA. This router is endorseed by netgear's website for use with this card.
2) Whats worse is that Netgear is officially aware of this problem since May 1,2007. The following is from their website dated May 1, 2007:-
"Known limitations
Vista Driver limitation:
1. Super G (108M) is not fully supported."
Although I think Super G (108Mbps) is not supported AT ALL.
(Source: Go to Netgear's website, search for this product and go to version 5.0 released on May 1, 2007).
3) Customer service is BAD.1of them also asked me to turn off the 108Mbps mode from my router and use the router at 54Mbps b/g mode as a solution to get 108Mbps speeds on my network card (totally insane). When asked about this driver issue, they stopped answering to e-mails.
4) I haven't tried this card on XP.
