CNET Review
The Good: SPI firewall; excellent throughput; content filtering.
The Bad: Incomplete installation guide; lacks WDS support.
The Bottom Line: Netgear's WGT624 is a good choice for advanced users but may be too complicated for those new to networking.

Review Summary: Make sure you get the WG311T not the WG311 wireless card (or the WG511T for a laptop). The reason being that the router can push out 108mbps only if your card can accept 108mbps. Most can only take in 54 mbps. Pretty straightforward and everything is easy
