FWIW, I received two WG511T's (on Ebay for $12 US and free US shipping) in the mail this past Friday and they are both working excellent in two separate laptops with WPA. I'm sorry it took so long to respond but my ISP had locked out all of my email accounts and it took 5 calls and 3 techs to reset the master account so that I could reset the others. All is well :-) Robert
