Product Review Summary: Excellent Product

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..

Product Review Summary: Don't

It installed without a problem. It seemed to link with the network just fine. But it simply wouldn't stay connected to the internet! For a total of two weeks we were online for about 20 minutes.

Not sure if it's the devise or something else wrong with the configuration but we simply couldn't get it to work. We've since uninstalled it and may or may not try again. Setting up a network should be a whole lot easier than this. We wasted days and days working on it and finally got sick of spending so much time on it.

And btw, don't even bother calling Linksys. It takes about 20 minutes to finally reach a live person and when you do another half an hour to explain everything. Then they can't help anyway.

My advise - don't try to go cheap. You get what you pay for.

Product Review Summary: Wireless Card

Great product and delivery was as scheduled. Currently using the product on my Dell laptop. Thanks.

Product Review Summary: AWESOME

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 .
I found it here for way less and bought it. Got it home and plugged it in and I was up and running again. The reason I like this one better than the others they have out there is 1) The price on amazon just cant be beat.2) The booster on this thing is great! Tried it with out it and its so SLOW!!!!!!!3)It so easy to install just put in disk and put card in slot on computer and follow instruction so easy!!!

Product Review Summary: reliable brand, poor support

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. The adapter froze my computer and I was unable to uninstall the adapter. I spent 4 days (about 1-3 hours per day)with phone tech support unable to solve this problem. They finally did me the "favor" of charging me ten dollars to control my pc remotely, only to ultimately tell me there is nothing they can do and I should return the product. And they never refunded the ten dollars. This product may be in fact great, but be wary of hidden driver updates and terrible tech support.
