Strengths: Simple installation, nice configuration software, very happy with connection speed & signal strength
Weakness: Not specific to the Netgear, but wireless is a battery killer! The Netgear website navigation is non-intuitive, but everything needed for support is there.
I had no trouble installing & setting up the MA701 on my Intermec 6651, which runs on Windows Handheld PC 2000. Very happy with the performance for the price.

Strengths: Easy installation. Plenty of flexibility.
Weakness: None so far.
I am new to setting up a network, let alone a wireless one. The task seemed daunting at first, and the new terminology left me wondering if I could do it. Install and set up was straightforward for basic installation. Then I tried for more sophisticated stuff like remotely controlling my base PC. Was a little tricky at first, but managed to get it working just fine. NO nearby hot spots, so I have...
