5.0 out of 5 stars Nice card, nice price, November 8, 2001
By Alan Bryant (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To keep my small business network running, I've always tried to reduce costs where possible. Unfortunately, when it comes to network cards, using the lowest possible priced Ethernet card can be false economy.

The Netgear FA311 is one of the only cards I've come across where oddball compatibility issues don't arise. With others, there's always an issue or two, however minor they may be. A D-Link card that prevents a home automation package from working. A Linksys card that conflicts with an online streaming video technology. I could go on. The Netgear costs just a few dollars more than these others, but is still well under the price of brands such as 3Com in most cases.

For me, on all the machines I've tried, the FA311 installs quickly and easily, and works marvelously.

I have only one caution: Windows 2000 users should download and have ready the latest drivers from the Netgear web site. Across two FA311 purchases, the drivers delivered on the packaged floppy had various problems (e.g., major packet loss). I'm used to doing that as a matter of course for the majority of driver-dependent computer goodies, so I didn't find it to be a hassle in this case.

2.0 out of 5 stars warning!, July 17, 2001
By "kncase" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This card will cause a major problem if you have a Athlon DDR motherboard with the amd761 chipset. You will not be able to reboot!

The 310tx does not have this problem. The 311 has an updated controller, called a "soft" controller, that uses cpu power, much like a "win"modem vs. older, controller-based modems. In general, avoid these...

5.0 out of 5 stars Ethernet card works flawlessly at a great price!, December 12, 2000
By tim747 (Glenview, IL USA) - See all my reviews
I have bought over 5 of these for home and office use. They work flawlessy and for the price you cannot beat the functionality. I was running Windows 95 or Windows 98 on all the computers. Setup was a snap. Just pop in the card to an empty slot. Then install the drivers from the floppy disk that comes in the package. Worked flawlessly everytime. I had no problems hooking up the ethernet card to a Linksys DSL/Cable Router, Netgear ethernet hubs, or a college dorm ethernet connection.

Get this card and you will get the convenience of file and print sharing when used in conjunction with some sort of hub and windows network neighborhood. Anyone with little to no computer expertise can do this just by following the instructions. It may be a little difficult if you are scared of computers, but it can still be done. Just follow the pictures that come on the step by step setup foldout.
