Summary: Works great once you get past the set-up
Review: Once you get this product working, its great. Even if the signal strength indicates "low" it still works just as fast as the wired hook-up. However, the installation of the card was troublesome in Windows XP and the user manual was of no help. The CD set-up disk drivers and the internet drivers didn't work. The card appeared to work properly in the device manager, but it wouldn't communicate with the router. After about an hour with tech support we uninstalled the device (for the third time) and restarted Windows to allow it to detect the new hardware (for the third time). But this time when the set-up wizard in Windows asked where to locate the drivers, we checked the box that lets Windows XP locate its own drivers, rather than giving a file location. This fixed the problem and now the card works great!

Summary: A great wireless card
Review: I use this wireless card with my IBM laptop and my SMC wireless router. No problems in setup (Read your instructions carefully). Did both the router and wireless card setup in an evening and it's run like a champ since.Excellent range. I normally use this on a different floor and end of the house from the router.

Summary: Does not work with NT
Review: This product has awful support for Windows NT. After installing the produt the instructions said to re-install all Service Packs!!! But my regular wired network card was no longer working in order to download the service packs! This install totally hosed up my PC. I got my PC back in shape and then installed the Netgear card of similar stats without any problem. Linksys should not claim this card has NT support.

Summary: Not there yet
Review: I built a small wireless network using the WAP11, the WUSB11, and the WPC11. After hacking through the install, being demeaned by Linksys technical support, they finally admitted that the WPC11 "DOES NOT WORK" with the WAP11. They say that they need a firmwire upgrade on the WAP11 to get things straightened out. Whatever it is, the whole system is flakey at best, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, at best it's a [gamble]. I have purchased many Linksys products over the years and have had nothing but great success. The wireless products just aren't there yet, don't waste your time or money.

Summary: Happy until...
Review: I purchased a PCcard last December (about six months ago) and have beem mostly satified with it until about two weeks ago. This is when the card started to act flaky. Over a very short time it went from a little flaky to being unrecognizable to WinXP (PnP would just shut the card off). I checked it out in another system (Win2K). The card had the same problem. Linksys support is not being very flexable. I explained to them the problem. I am at work and the machine is at home so they will not do anything. They will not step through their trouble shooting steps with me without the machine. They will not even tell me what the steps are. They may replace the card but I don't like the service!

Summary: Beware, wpc11 has only marginal support for winXP
Review: after 20min on hold linksys told me that 1st card was defective, one week later got new one and was after 1 hour of struggle able to install under winxp. linksys webstie has basically zero info on using their products w/winxp and the wpc11 xp driver was written in Jan and not updated since.
A friend had similar probs and had to get a 2nd card also. on my pc after 30 min or so using wireless card pc freezes and must be rebooted. no explanation..
if i had it to do again i would have looked for a product with better win xp support. I regret this purchase, the functionality has not been worth the pain.

Summary: Works like a charm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I installed this product along with the wireless 4 port router over this past weekend. It was up and running in less than an hour. I have a old home with plaster and lath walls, and I can connect with my laptop from any room in the house. My internet connection is a good as my wired desktop. I also tried it outside where I was able to get an acceptable connection from about 400+ feet away. If you plan on going wireless, this product is for you !!

Summary: Works like a charm on Mac OS X
Review: I have an older Mac Powerbook G3 ("Wall Street" model) that came out before the Apple Airport wireless card. So I have to use a 3rd party card. On OS 9, I was limited to whatever wireless card had a Mac driver. But since OS X is Unix, I found a free open-source driver for many wireless cards including this one ... , and it works great with this card. I've had no problems, set up was easy, and the range is good with the SMC Barricade wireless broadband router.

Summary: Worked like a charm
Review: I was a little skeptical after reading some of the negative reviews. But this product worked very well for me. I got a Linksys Wireless Router as well... and setting up both of them took me about 30 minutes. No problems whatsoever! Because I used my laptop with a DSL router before (also Linksys), I had to release and renew IP addresses... that was the only piece of knowledge I had to use that was not provided in the manuals.

Summary: Wireless Laptop Network Adapter
Review: Easy to install, just accept defalts, works all over house at 80--100% signal strength and signal quality. Make sure you get version 2, 2.5 or 3. The earlier version was no damn good.
