Summary: Configuration very troublesome
Review: It may be my Windows NT platform, or it may be Linksys support technicians who are pleasant but inept, but I've spent more than six hours trying to get my card working. Without luck. Plug-and-play operating systems like Windows XP may simplify installation. If you can't figure it out for yourself by reading the instructions, don't expect Linksys technicians to be able to do more than read the menu along with you one more time.

Summary: PC Card probably isn't the problem
Review: I noticed a few people complaining about the Linksys pc card, but I found the card works wonderfully. I believe the problems some of the others are seeing is with the Linksys wireless access points and routers. I have read that those products have some known problems. To support my theory, just go into any TMobile HotSpot and use the Linksys wireless pc card in your laptop. Works wonderfully!

Summary: Great Product
Review: This card was extremely easy to setup. I have 3 computers on my home network and once I had one set up, all I had to do was insert the card into the other 2 machines, configure the software to connect to the network and that was it. The only downside is that my laptop battery runs out faster with this card installed-- significantly faster. My roommate has this same problem. If the card didn't suck all of the life out of your laptop, it would be perfect.I have been able to take my laptop outside when the day is a nice one and the signal from the Linksys wireless router even reaches through 2 exterior walls and across about 60 feet to a detached garage apartment. Linksys' tech support was very helpful when I was trying to decide on this product. I highly suggest you call them.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS INFERIOR PRODUCT
Review: I bought the Linksys WPC11 v3 card because I have a Linksys WAP Router. I tried to install it on my laptop, which runs Windows 2000, and, despite spending 3.5 hours on the phone with two different incompetent Linksys Techinical Support Associates, could never get it to work, even though the company claims its product is Windows 2000 compatible. Windows 2000 never even recognized the driver. The last thing their tech support person said to me was, "I don't think it's going to work on your computer." Then I bought a D-Link DWL-650+ at Office Depot for $... more, and, including solving a problem with the drivers being out of date, the very competent D-Link tech support and I got the card running within 1/2 hour.

Summary: Indoor poor quality of signal
Review: By the time I got to the other end of the house(approx. 55 feet) the signal was gone. I tried raising my router, no help. The antenna on this card seems very poor.

Summary: Cannot recommend this product
Review: I bought this product several months ago now and have only gotten it to work ONCE ! I have my house networked wirelessly using all Linksys products - routers and wireless PCMCIA cards, with cable modem and a network HP laserjet printer. However, whereas everything else works fine, my laptop network card hasn't worked. I am totally frustrated with it and considering getting another card - maybe Netgear, which certainly has much better reviews than Linksys. My single concern is if this card will work with the Linksys wireless router. Anyways, I do not recommend the Linksys Network PC Card v.3 product since it has proven to be quite unreliable to me and many others as reviewed here.

Summary: Works great under Windows 2000
Review: Setting up and using this card under Windows 2000 couldn't have been easier. After following the included setup card I was up and running with no further problems. Setup involved simply plugging the card in and installing drivers from the included CD. I use the card with a Linksys wireless access point that sits behind at least one wall. While the overall distance from the access point is never huge (a couple of walls at most and maybe 50 feet), I haven't had any problems with link quality. I did encounter one problem in which the connection to the access point would suddenly terminate. I could only get it back by taking out the card and reinstalling it. It turns out the problem was actually with the access point, not with this card. Specifically, it appears that disabling SSID broadcast on the Linksys access point can cause problems. My main complain about the product itself is that it doesn't support 256 bit encryption, although the Linksys access point does. Also, the Linksys documentation and website are mediocre at best.

Summary: My fears were well founded
Review: I recently set up a wired/wireless network using all Linksys products including the WPD11 v.3. Everything was fine, setup was almost automatic. But when I walked out of my office with my laptop and closed the door my signal started going down rapidly. By the time I got to the other end of the house(approx. 55 feet) the signal was gone. I tried raising my router, no help. The antenna on this card seems very poor.

Summary: Functional
Review: Range is not great and moving your hand near
it cause the link to go from a good connection
to a poor one. Still, it works and usually
delivers a pretty fast (11MBs) connection.
Setup was easy (w98).

Summary: Linksys has a good reputation, but it didn't work
Review: I purchased this card and the Linksys USB adaptor to set up a peer-to-peer network between a notebook and a desktop. After several days I gave up. I was never able to make the connection. Technical support would only tell me if I had the configuration set up properly, but stopped short of helping make a network connection. Following the suggestion from some of the other reviews I read, I returned the PC card for a Netgear card and tried to make the connection with the Linksys USB adaptor. Still, no success. I ended up returned both Linksys componants and purchased like Netgear hardware. The connection was made almost immediately and I have been happy with the network since.
