Rating: Summary: Here's my setup for my boss's office Review: Goes through a file cabinet, a bookcase, and 3 walls at approximately 40 feet and still has about 25 percent link quality. Decide for yourself. This is with the MR314 netgear router btw.
Rating: Summary: Netgear worked where Linksys didn't Review: After first trying Linksys PC card and USB adaptors to make a peer-to-peer network between a notebook and a desktop, I was never able to get the two devises to connect. I ended up returning the Linksys equipment and buying Netgear. The Netgear hardware worked almost instantly and it has been great since. Even though I am only using dial up for my Internet, having the flexibility and connectivity anywhere in the house has made a big difference. It really is the way to go.
Rating: Summary: Works well with XP for me Review: After returning the more expensive Dlink router and card I bought because of poor range (I have an old house with wetplaster walls on steel mesh) I bought this card with the 814 router. I was up and running in 15 minutes and I am an accountant not an IT person. The card worked flawlessly with windows XP. I puchased it a few weeks ago so it is posible they update the drivers for XP. If you are on the fence about buying this because you have XP don't let that stop you it works fine. As far as range it is much better than the dlink card I had.
Rating: Summary: Quickly recognized on network and consistant conneciton. Review: I am using this on a p233 running Windows 98 second edition. Windows 98 recognized the card immediately and after a bit of searching on the resource disk that came with it, the drivers installed correctly the first time I tried.It seems to work well with the MR314 wireless router, and current rebates from Netgear take [money] off the price now through February of 03! Quality and reliabiltity at a great price...
Rating: Summary: Easy to install and reliable performance Review: I purchased this card with teh Linksys 4port wireless router. I'm running latest version of Win XP and I have broadband internet. This card installed easily, connects easily and performs like a charm in every room of the house. This card perfoms better than I expected. I also purchased the D-Link 650+ 22Mpbs - this card paoles next to the Netgear card. I recommend this to anmyone looking for simple set up and reliable performance.
Rating: Summary: Worked fine...for a while Review: I agree - don't buy this if you are running XP!!! I bought this card in August and after hacking through the installation on my HP running XP I got it up and running. It claims to work on XP, but it isn't easy to get it to do so. I had to reinstall it again after my computer crashed (unrelated) and that install went pretty well too. ...
Rating: Summary: Don't try it with Linksys router Review: Be careful if you want to use it with Linksys router. Someone seemed to make it work. But I had no luck making it work on all my 3 PCs (Win 98, 2000 and XP) even after I spent more than 3 hours on the phones with customer support technicians. So I had to return it. The only plus side of my whole experience is that the customer support response is very quick. All of my calls were answered in 1-2 minutes while it took me more than 1 hour to reach Linksys support people.
Rating: Summary: Works like a charm Review: Plugged it into my Win XP Pro laptop, inserted the CD, and two minutes later, I'm connected. Nothing to it, no problems.
Rating: Summary: Awesome if you DO NOT USE XP Review: This item is plug and play, strong signal, no problem IF YOU DO NOT USE WINDOWS XP. Could not connect to internet with this item until I dumped XP and went back to ME. From then on it was plug and play.
Rating: Summary: This is a Windows card Review: I ordered a Toshiba Satellite with a wireless card (not from Amazon). This is the card that came with it. The notebook had Linux preloaded. I ... assumed that the wireless card from the same vendor would work with Linux. No, it cannot be made to work. With Windows it works just fine (a little slow, I think). But there is no way to make it work with Linux. ...
