I have one of these which I only occasionally use but I have always
found it reliable. I don't think the Netgear software supports WPA,
only WEP. There is a chance it could work with WPA if you use XP's
utility to do all the settings.

I have had four WG121s using channels 1, 6,10 and 13 at various times and
always with WEP. All were initially totally reliable but later one started
to lose the connection at frequent intervals. It was swapped under warranty
and the problem went away. All four have remained reliable since.
