Netgear RangeMax 240 WPNT834 wireless router and WPNT511 CardBus adapter

Netgear RangeMax 240 WPNT834

review

By Oliver Kaven

The Netgear RangeMax 240 WPNT834, built around the Airgo Networks True MIMO Gen3 pre-802.11n chipset, is the top of Netgear's wireless router line. It's not cheap, at around $135 (street), nor is the WPNT511 client card ($100), but the performance of this combination speaks for itself.
