Although the dual-band NETGEAR WAB501 was an excellent PCMCIA card and scored well, we rated the single-band 802.11a NETGEAR HA501 higher because of its ability to cope with dire signal conditions.

Netgear's Wireless Digital Music Player, the MP101 is one of the easiest music streamers we've reviewed, but for rich multimedia support you should look further a field especially if you're keen on streaming video to your equipment.

The NETGEAR WAB501 was a contender for a Recommended Award, with incredibly solid results in all tests conducted.

A speedy performer due to its support for the 802.11a standard, the NETGEAR HE102 was near the top of the charts in every test we performed, although it didn't do so well with signal qualities at long distances.

This access point cannot live up to the performance or ease-of-use of the other NETGEAR access points tested.

This dual-band access point is a perfect addition to an existing 802.11b network for those looking to stretch to the higher bandwidth of 802.11a without invalidating their previous hardware investments.

The only PCI adaptor submitted, the MA311 takes wireless networking to the PC without the need for one of those PCI/PCMCIA slot cards.
