undependable [Posted on 2008-04-12]
I'm disappointed. The product does work great, when it works. This card was purchased to replace the first one, that failed after about 12 months of service. This one is in service a month or so, and for the last few days it looses contact with the router, necessitating running the hard wire network connection to reestablish a link. I don't know if another brand or model would be any better, having no experience with any other similar product.
As easy as it gets [Posted on 2008-04-28]
I bought this as part of a transition from a CAT 5 hard wired home network to a wireless network. Installed in a few minutes (took longer to open the computer case than install the card) on my son's Gateway using Vista operating system. Easy install and immediate recognition of device. Great reception with no issues to date (about a month). Price was significantly less than any of the local electronics chains (Best Buy, Circuit City). Shipping was fast and, as always with Amazon, no worries.
a known Installation problem [Posted on 2008-04-29]
Installation cannot be done and it is a known problem. This means that you cannot take an advantage of using the speedbooster.
A very difficult company to deal with [Posted on 2008-05-06]
This is a bad company. I purchased a wireless router from them and, truth be told, it never really worked right. The speed was ok, but it was impossible to set up without tech support and every so often it would simply stop working. When that happened I would be forced to call tech support and spend 30-60 minutes on the phone fighting with them about resetting the router. I recently purchased a new computer and decided to save a little money by moving this router to it. When I called tech support I was told that the router was out of its warranty period and they could not help me... unless I would pay them to. That's right, I would have to pay for the assistance on their product - a working product because it was not under warranty.
So be warned that you are only buying the option to use Linksys' products for a limited time - that is if you have any problems whatsoever that require tech support. I am now trying a Trendnet. Let's see if they are any better.
