Just so all of you that are interested will know. If you wash the Netgear MA701 in the clothes washing machine, it will work for a few days but then it will fail.

Possibly if I had used the delicate cycle and cool water it may have survived.

I tried this, by accident of course, and I was amazed to find that it did work. Sadly a few days later, it failed and never worked again. Purchased and received my replacement card yesterday.

Lesson learned: Be careful about storing spare cards in your shirt pocket. Problem could be solved if WiFi was built in.
