About the WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card The WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card gives you ultimate mobility in your office or while you are traveling. It frees you from traditional Ethernet wiring and helps you create a wireless network for sharing your broadband cable or DSL Internet access among multiple PCs in and around your home. It is designed for notebook computers running Microsoft ® Windows ® . It is both 16-bit PCMCIA and 32-bit CardBus compatible and works in any available PCMCIA or CardBus slot. Its auto-sensing capability allows the highest packet transfer or dynamic range shifting to the lower speeds due to distance or operating limitations in an environment with a lot of electromagnetic interference. It provides reliable, standards-based 802.11g LAN connectivity that is protected with industry-standard security. It works with Windows 95B, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, and XP operating systems. Key Features and Related NETGEAR Products The WG511 PC Card provides the following features: •Reliable IEEE 802.11g standard-based wireless technology. •Supports roaming between access points when configured in Infrastructure mode. 2 •11 Mbps high rate speed. Wireless nodes negotiate to operate in the optimal data transfer rate. In a noisy environment or when the distance between the wireless nodes is far, the wireless nodes automatically fall back to operate at the lower transfer rate of two or one Megabit per second. •Highest level of data encryption using128-bit Shared Key WEP data encryption method. Lower level of data encryption or no data encryption is available to simplify your network setup or to improve data transfer rate. The following Netgear products can be configured to communicate with the WG511 PC Card. •WAB102 Dual Band Access Point •WAB501 Dual Band PC Card •MA101 802.11b Wireless USB Adapter •ME102 802.11b Wireless Access Point •MA311 802.11b Wireless PCI Adapter •MR314 802.11b Wireless Cable/DSL Router •MA701 802.11b Wireless Compact Flash Card What’s in the Box? The product package should contain the following items: •WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card •Installation Guide for the Model WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card •Model WG511 Resource CD, including: — Drive…

Ref: FCC ID: PY3WG511 NetGear Inc. The device was retested by CETECOM for RF output power with revised firmware power settings. The RF output power of the device proved to be +19.9 dBm. This is a change of -0.3 dB (-6.7%) in RF output power as compared to the previously measured RF output power of +20.2 dBm. Given the fact that the overall combined measurement uncertainty of the measurement system is +/-13.6%, it was concluded that the difference of -0.3dB (-6.7%) in RF output power would cause a change in worst-case SAR values which would fall within the measurement uncertainty range of the measurement system which was used during all measurements. It can therefore be justified that the SAR values, as measured at a RF output power of +20.2 dBm, can be represented as being the absolute worst-case values which could be measured at a RF output power of +19.9 dBm.
