Excellent Card for the MONEY... [Posted on 2007-01-03] You really can't go wrong with this card. The reception is excellent the price is awesome.
Worst wireless card [Posted on 2007-08-12] I installed on my laptop with XP. It does not work. Also during the installation I got some kind of warning message indicating me to not install this software. I called technical service. They are very busy so they took my number and they will call back. Having technical service busy is not a good indication. It should be plug and play. I wish I had spent little more money to get a better card.
It works just fine [Posted on 2007-08-27] I use this pcmcia card on my HP laptop running windows 2000 Professional and so far it had worked perfectly.
It comes with a software that helps you to connect to the wifi network.
At home I have a Linksys router but I had used it in other networks too.
Absolutely Worthless [Posted on 2007-09-02] Never worked. After many hours, bought a Linksys card, which worked fine the first time not problems.
The worst wireless card ever [Posted on 2007-11-13] I spent 3-4 hours trying to make this card work but it never went beyond 1 Mbps even when I was sitting 1 foot away from the wireless access point. Very disappointing.
I have a Thinkpad that runs Win XP Home. I plugged this card in and installed the driver utility from the CD. Everything looked fine and the card seemed to be connecting to the access point but my speed never went over 1 Mbps. I use WEP security in my home network.
After 3-4 frustrating hours I had to go back to my 5 year old Lucent Orinoco 802.11b card. With the Lucent card I was up and running in 10 seconds.
My advice, spend a few extra dollars and buy Netgear, Linksys or any of the other well-known brands.
