Product Review Summary: Recommended by my computer man

Our Linsky broadband router has been in use for a year. It provides high-speed service and has proven to be completely problem-free. Halleluiah! No wires! Just a cute little antenna on the back of our second desktop computer!

Product Review Summary: Good price, favorable review

Installation was a snap, getting the setting right required extensive help from someone with more knowledge than I had.

Product Review Summary: Linksys Wireless-G PCI. CARD DID NOT FIT!

I had just purchased a special order HP Pavilion Elite with WIN 7 directly from HP. I ordered it with just an Ethernet connection for the internet. After the computer was ordered, we decided to rearrange the upstairs. Now the Elite's tower was about 25 feet away from the WIFI modem and I did not want to run a cable. I wanted a neat and internal mounted adapter, so, I ordered the Linksys WMP54GS adapter. It did not fit because the new Elite has PCI-Express X 1 slots. In reading reviews for wireless connection for WIN 7, it sounds like an awful lot of people are having problems. I reordered a Linksys WUSB600N. I installed the USB adapter without using the CD that came with the adapter (THIS WAS ADVISE FROM ANOTHER REVIEWER) and it was installed by WIN 7 in less than 2 minutes and I was up and running. I returned the WMP54GS to Deal Barn and got a refund without any problems.

Product Review Summary: Great with my HTPC

I got this card to install in my new HTPC so I wouldn't need to run a network cable all the way into the living room. Loaded Windows 7 Home Premium and never had to install the software for the card - it saw it right away and connected to my Linksys wireless router which is located in the master bedroom. Gets a great signal too. I've been streaming movies to the PC over the internet and had no degradation or loss of signal.

Product Review Summary: REPLACEMENT

My 8 year old card took forever to connect to my wireless router. Now i turn the computer on - and I'm connected. It works great. The compture and router are about 15 feet apart.
