Summary: not good
Review: I owned the WPC11 wireless card with BEFW11S4 EtherFast Wireless-B Access Point and I don't know where to begin! After having myself and co-workers waste a total of 16 damn hours trying to figure this thing out, I returned it to the store. We all work in IT so it shouldn't be that hard right? Well, Linksys Reps were no help, claimed they didn't know why it didn't work, and sounded like the just learned what a computer was three months ago. I've given up on wireless until someone can guarantee that it will work with XP and the setup is under 10 minutes. I'm giving it one star because i have to.

Summary: It doesn't work with HP6000 with W2K
Review: Link never up. After call tech. support, Linksys told me that the Texas PCI-1420 card bus controller is not supported and will not be supported soon.It should list the limitation as part of spec. []

Summary: Works great, no problems
Review: I got this to interface with the Linksys 802.11b WAP; the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5000 series. Setting up the card was a breeze, since Windows XP autorecognizes the card. The only information you need to enter is the WEP key (if you are using one), and it is going. Reception is fine all over the house, and I don't see any difference in speed when compared to plugging directly into the DSL modem (DSL maxes out at about 600 Kbps, and the 802.11b can handle 11 Mbps--order of magnitude over the best DSL can do). There is also little effect on the battery life, which can be an issue for some cards. All in all, it makes wireless easy and efficient.

Summary: One good - one bad
Review: My first Linksys WPC11 card failed completely on the second day of use. I was able to return the card and get a new one. The new card has been working fine for about a month.

Summary: Great card, unless you have version 4 and need to VPN
Review: Bought this card, installation was a snap, and I was using it within 10 mins. Everything is cool with the normal internet, if that's all you need to do, I'd give it a 5. However, there is a known issue with the newest version of the card and my vpn software (cisco 3.6). it doesn't work, i opened a support case w/ linksys and was informed that it was a known issue. Just to make sure I didn't have a lazy tech, I called back, opened a new case, and got the same answer.

Summary: Works well until it drops the signal
Review: In short, this card installs easily and has pretty decent range. One critical problem that took many tech support calls to resolve: Signals are randomly dropped every few hours and you typically need to restart to reconnect. I have read now that this problem is somewhat common. The issue is incompatibility with a number of laptops/ethernet controllers/PCMCIA controllers etc. I have IBM T20/Win2K running a Texas Instruments CardBus controller. This card DOES NOT work with that controller. Period. Therefore, it will always be "flaky", ruining an otherwise fine performance. RMA (return) may be a problem since you typically get a replacement, which will not work by definition. Other cons - the card overheats...

Summary: Horrible Support
Review: I'm sick of always getting book reading foreigners as tech support. Give me a break. The woman I talked to had me reinstall the card, doing exactly what I did the first time. When that didn't work her solution was to reinstall windows. Genius. Using windows 98 by the way on an older compaq laptop by the way.

Summary: Not having much luck
Review: I purchased this card (V. 4) as part of a kit that also contains the BEFW11S4 V 3.2. It was a little tempermental at first but worked "fair". After a few weeks however, it went downhill from there. It started getting time outs when trying to load web pages, then refused to connect to the internet at all. I've tried everything from formatting the laptop, reinstalling the firmware on the router to reinstalling the software on the laptop (several times). Once in a while it works; MOST of the time it doesn't work at all. All the while my wired pc works great. I've also been into computers for several years and have quite a bit of experience with networking. Very disappointed as I've had linksys products before and they worked very well.

Summary: Random Disconnects
Review: Among the 4 wireless cards in my mixed home network, the Linksys WPC11 has proven to be the least reliable. It's had a tendency to lose connection with the base station (Microsoft MN-500) at random intervals (typically 1-2 drops every 6 hours). Bear in mind, this is a sample size of one. It may simply be a faulty unit. Overall, I've had good results with Linksys products.
