Introduction

The dual band WNDA3100 USB Wireless LAN adapter from NETGEAR has the ability to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks. It features a multicolored LED, which lights up differently depending on its status, so we will know on what type of network we are connected, without checking up the software application.



I would like to thank NETGEAR for making this review possible of their WNDA3100 RANGEMAX DUAL BAND Wireless N USB 2.0 Adapter .
