Summary: Welcome to lazer-maze!
Review: I got this and it works with my HP Athlon/ XP Pro and my old linksys Wireless B.
It is working, not a big deal. I did not see any talent yet.
The thing is with the leds. I cannot belive there are people who do latest technology wireless card with such weird leds. There are to leds, one for power and one for link. They do not look good and the thing is that they did not isolate them from each other inside, when LINK lightens, power also gets brighter. This is so stupid. Welcome to lazer-maze! Try it in dark to enjoy it. It makes you feel that this is one of the cheapest cards. Actually why do you need to show POWER on this? If it is into the PCMCIA and laptop is running, then there is power you know it.
I had a d-link card which had clearly sharp and better leds and there were also to as LINK and ACTIVITY which are more informative.Another thing is that, it is better you have your slot on right hand side(as the picture shown) since genious engineers of Linksys/Cisco put their logo and led labels horizontally. If you have your slot at left, you will see logo and labels backwards.
I would recommend another product since this has such annoying problems.
I do not have info about Dlink's 54G but their 11B was also workin' at the same environment and was having great look.

Summary: Good Reception, Funky Connection
Review: I've had little to no problem with signal strength with this product. My router is in the front of the house, and I can still get a "very good" signal in the back, through 3 walls. The next test will be when I take it back to school on Monday, but I don't expect any problems.
My only complaint is that sometimes the control panel will show me that the connection is working but I can't pull up the web. I've been going into Network Connections, disabling and then re-enabling the connection. This usually works, as I believe someone mentioned in a previous review. Not a big problem though, and I'd recommend this card.

Summary: Really Fast and Easy to Install
Review: I just bought this card along with my Sony VAIO FRV37 notebook computer and I was really pleased to see this card works as they claim. It works beautifully with my Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I inserted the card into a PCMCIA(?) slot and turned the notebook on. When it recognized the card, I slided the install CD and there you go. All done in less than 3 minutes, I was surfing the net. I know a few of the reviewer complained the card gets hot and drops connection, but these problems never occured to me. The speed (I have Adelphia cable modem) is so fast that I don't see any difference compared to my main PC that has direct ethernet connection to the router. The card is not hot at all, either. In short, I highly recommend this product from my experience.

Summary: Still fighting with it!!!!!
Review: Bought the adapter one week ago but still can not make it work on a HP Pavilion laptop running XP Pro. Windows keeps reporting "One or more wireless networks are available" but never connects to the WRT54G router. I'm not using MAC filters or WEP encryption to simplify the setup. Linksys suggested changing the beacon interval (to 50) and fragmentation size (to 2304) under the advanced wireless settings on the WRT54G. It didn't make any difference.
Anyone ran into the same issue in the past and got it fixed somehow?
The adapter works fine on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop running Windows 2000
Help please!!!!!!!!

Summary: WPA Security Fun
Review: I've had this card for almost a year. The op system is xp pro and I connect to a linksys wrt54g router.
I changed from wep to wpa security. This required getting an update from microsoft.
While this is suppose to be more secure, what they didn't say was that it caused the card
to take 3 minutes to connect to the router. Microsoft recognized the problem and addressed the issue with update 826942.
So I install the update and then what happens is that while it reduces the connect time to only a few seconds,
after a few minutes I lose the connection and to top it off the wireless client reports
that everything is working wonderful. The work around, I discovered, is to disable the connection and then enable it
again and the problem goes away. I've installed the latest updates for the card and the router from the linksys site
and these did not help. By the way installing the update for the card is a pain.There is no utility, you have
to go through the device manager. The tech support is less than useless.

Summary: Very Nice Product
Review: I just received this card along with a new wireless router for Christmas and have been exceptionally pleased with both. The card installs extremely quick and easy and I was up and running in about 10 minutes tops running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 4150. The adapter also continues to get exceptional signal and runs smoothly without problems or interruptions. The only thing I don't like about this adapter so far is that it appears on first Googling that the manufacturer does not provide Linux adapters which means that I can only use it when I boot into XP. None the less though this was an excellent purchase which has already paid for itself through hours of WiFi enjoyment ;) I can't wait to try my new toy out while traveling around the country.

Summary: Simple and easy to use
Review: This is a great product. Got it up and running within an hour on Windows XP Pro. The biggest problem was getting the new wireless router to access Comcast broadband. After some trial and error, finally got it going.

Summary: Wireless and Frustrated
Review: I purchased the WPC54G wireless adapter, WRT54G Router and the BEFCMU10 cabel modem (all Linksys products) through Amazon. The units were installed by the Cable Company tech the day we moved into our new residence. I had been using the wireless equipment of a friend and using AOL 9.0 without a problem. When the new installation was complete, I got an immediate error message (A required .DLL file, MPRAPI.DLL was not found) this prevents me from accessing my AOL account. I now get this error message every startup. AOL says its a Windows problem, my computer mfg. said he did a search and found that there was a problem between AOL 9.0 and Linksys and I should be able to get a patch from thier site. I had no luck on the site and no luck with their live chat option (disconnected). I called linksys technical line for help. I spent hours on the phone with a very patient and pleasent rep. The end of the story is she could not get my problem resolved and said that it was an AOL problem. I explained that this same computer with the same software was used on another wireless system without a problem. I am now after 12 days and many hours of effort in a catch 22 situation with everone pointing fingers at someone else. Someone sent in a review about this unit not working with a TI card bus controller. That is what my computer has.
