Pros: Fast, Easy to install, Fast, Good range, WEP encryption, Did I mention it's fast?
Cons: No telnet configuration, PCI cards weren't ready for the product release
The Bottom Line: I'm glad I waited for the netgear 802.11G. So far it has delivered everything promised. I would (and have) recommend this to a friend

Pros: Good value, easy setup, good speed and coverage, decent security.
Cons: Plasticky feel, little in the way of diagnostics.
The Bottom Line: Good for home/soho use. Easy to install and good speed. Little diagnostic information so avoid if you need this. Get v3 for easiest life.

Pros: Easy setup. Good range and speed when it works. Handles mixed 802.11b+g environments well.
Cons: Limited features(no diagnostics). Latest firmware buggy. Technical Support stinks. I've had several fail.
The Bottom Line: The WG602 has received glowing reviews elsewhere. My experience differs. 2 out of 3 have failed. Works great when it works. Consider buying a protection policy and keep your receipt!

Pros: got good reviews :-). WG602 web interface is clear and functional.
Cons: still can't get it to perform reliably, or well.
The Bottom Line: WG602: easy to install, interface easy to use. Setting up WG511 & useful connection very problematic. I cannot determine which unit is the cause.
