Summary: Poor Compatibility with IBM i1400 Thinkpad and Windows 98
Review: I installed the WPC11 on the above-mentioned laptop and OS. It initally ran for about 20 minutes. The operating system crashed during a test transfer. This crash required a complete reinstallation of the OS. The crash was repeated after the OS was reinstallated. All Linksys firmware and drivers were updated via the web site on the second and third attempts. Technical support from Linksys was not available excpet on a phone-back basis. The trouble-shooting suggestions on the Linksys web site were elementary. During the time the card was in operation, the operating range was limited to about 20 feet (line of sight). The wireless access point was the companion Linksys WAP11. I have returned both the WPC11 and the WAP11. I regard the performance of both devices as completely unacceptable.

Summary: Not that good
Review: I know you get other people saying that this works great and even "works fine". That's why I purchased it. After I got it up and running I was thrilled. I went from my home office to my kitchen with my laptop and lost ALL connectivity. In my bedroom I was getting 13% signal strength and that was directly over my home office. The tech support numbers on the side of the box were all disconnected on 9/21 when I tried to call. After reading other reviews that there is an inherent problem with the card (read these after I got the product) so I returned it. I did research on the Cisco Aironet. They have the most miliwatts for transmission and reception. You get what you pay for. If you want this for a home office and you do not want any wires to be run,.. it's fine. If you have a PC in the next room and again no wires... fine. Try to go farther than that and you should get something more powerful (and more $$$).

Summary: Decent Product, poor range and utilities
Review: It is a well built piece of equipment, but has some flaws. First, the wireless network i am on will only let me connect in a certian area, but I can walk around, and still get reception where I could not connect. Second, the reception seems poor (from manufacturer's specifications) and it doesn't go very fast. Third, the documentationa nd the utilities/drivers are poor and very lacking. Also, from what I hear, the tech support is terrible.
Bottom line- Dont go with this one...

Summary: Range is Horrible!
Review: Ok, folks, I decided to buy a Linksys Router and PC card. I live in a 1 bedroom apt and the range was simply terrible. I would think that the two items from the same company would have been exceptional, but it was not. After about 75 feet the network was unreachable with this card and companion router (access point). I took the card to work and had the same problems. I would suggest you look at another card. I returned mine.

Summary: Perfect Wireless Home Network Solution
Review: After careful review of various options to wirelessly network 2 laptops and a PC in my home, I decided on the Linksys Wireless DSL/Cable Router w/ Print Server (BEFW11P1) and two Wireless PC Cards (WPC11). This network was SO easy to install and works like a charm with our Cable modem. All of us can quickly share files and work on-line at the same time. It's a great and affordable solution and I was surprised at how easy the setup was. I can definitely recommend this system to anyone.

Summary: ...
Review: I bought both the Wireless card and the BEFW11S4 wireless 4-port cable/DSL router. The router was a snap to install and I had my 2 desktops and notbook docking station pinging back and forth in under 3 min. This card though was a nightmare. I started my install at 8pm and finshed after two calls to their tech support at 11am the next day. (Did I mention I waited over hour and half on the first call, 22 min on the second -Linksys needs to improve here big time) So the card. I was loading it on a 98 machine and the driver would never take, and if it did, it would ... out. Finally after the second call, and awesome tech, told me the drivers on the www and cd were bad, and shot me an e-mail with the correct driver. After I finally got it working, I pulled up the signal strength 24" away from the router. THe signal strength was 80-73%. Ouch! I would walk out of the room and it would drop totally at 20-25ft with one wall between me and the router. The tech told me the card has many issues and I should look at getting a Cisco or Nortel card. I called a buddy with one of those, no free add for them, and it worked like a champ. I was able to go two blocks down the road and still had a 73% strenth and 80% link. My advise, spend the money on another card.

Summary: Fair product
Review: Installation was easy within Windows 98, I had no difficulties in installing the driver. Documentation is weak on using the configuration utility and be prepared to wait over 20+ minutes on hold. Signal range is widely overstated on the box. I'm not getting the range I expected.

Summary: Range Poor
Review: There's been a lot of groaning about the range of this card, I concur. A couple walls, and it's out of range around 30 ft. I like the Linksys Wireless Cable /DSL Router. Had it up and running in minutes. But then again I already had a home network setup - I'm just upgrading it. The Linksys doc and software does have a certain unfinished quality about it that I'd find unnerving if I didn't know what I was doing. Think I'll try the Orinoco card that others are raving about.

Summary: Untethered Internet Connection! YESSSSSS!!!!!
Review: Okay, this product doesn't get 5 stars because the manual is about as useful as ice cubes in Alaska. The setup files are not in the proper location and the really useful utility is not prominently mentioned. The utility is a lifesaver (on the cd-rom under X:\WPC11-WDT11\Utility) it allows configuration of the NIC card without constant re-booting. For me, the Mode setting is on infrastructure, SSID on linksys, TxRate on fully automatic, and PS mode is disabled. I am cruising around my home with solid internet connections everywhere. It just doesn't get any better. The setup can be a little confusing but the turnaround time with tech support was less than 20 minutes (although the recording quoted 77 minutes). Wireless broadband is non-trivial but it is by no means impossible and when working, thoroughly enjoyable.

Summary: Windows Me Installation Problems
Review: I had the worst installation problem with this PC card. First off, LinkSys is fully aware that the installation CD that shipped with this product has major issues. Nowhere in their web page do they even care to mention this. I spent several hours uninstalling and installing various ways but couldn't get it to load. Technical support took over an hour onhold waiting on the queue. A tech support finally resolved this problem. It turns out this is a common problem with Windows Me.
