The service and speedy posting of this product was excellent and the card works Great.. Just what I needed and at a very nice price.. from Amazon.com It installed without a problem. It seemed to link with the network just fine. But it simply wouldn't stay connected to the internet! from Amazon.com Cons: I've had so many problems with this adapter and have spent at least 8 hours so far trying to get it to work. I have an older IBM/lenovo Thinkpad T42p laptop with winXP sp 3 that has an internal cisco wireless adapter. I was looking to upgrade to this Linksys WPC54GS wireless adapter to get a better signal. The installation cd that came with the adapter caused numerous problems, even when following directions to a T. from Newegg.com This is awesome. I First bought this product 3 years ago at radio shack and payed over [...] bucks for it. The first week I had it the computer fell on the floor and cracked the card I taped it together and it still worked for 3 years. So when it finaly stoped working I wanted the same thing but was not willing to pay the astronomical amount radio shack wants for it . from Amazon.com to good recpetion range. The software on their disc is adequate and XP recognized things quickly. I'd say it's a toss up between using Linksys software or Windows Wireless Zero Configuration. Linksys is definitely better than Trendnet's crud. from Newegg.com Pros: it works Cons: linksys software sucks use windows to pick the wireless network or you will have a slow connection Other Thoughts: wouldnt buy again from Newegg.com Although I love Linksys routers, this wireless adapter card for notebooks was a nightmare. My gateway pc met all the system requirements, however the adapter required an additional driver update from gateway that was not listed. from Amazon.com Pros: Connects without a problem. Very good speed. NewEGG is the way to go when ordering anything Cons: Does not keep a consistant 54 Mbps with my LINKSYS WRT54GS Router. Other than this one little con. from Newegg.com (This is for the Version 2 adapter. I don't know if subsequent revisions may be improved). We have several wireless computing devices on our 802.11b/g home network. Of all these devices, this card has (by far) the most reception problems no matter where you place it. from Amazon.com Pros: Wireless card is excellent beats the heck out of the Zonet one I bought. No dropped connections, works perfectly with zero problems! from Newegg.com
