Summary: There are better values
Review: I returned this card the same day I received it. It worked right from the start but the signal strength was horrible. I had a weak signal no more than 30' from linksys WAP. Bought 3com XJACK instead. Much better.

Summary: Nice card.. if you have a small house
Review: Hi,I bought this card because all my other equipment was Linksys and I figured this card will work perfect with it!
It did, and still does, there are just some areas in the house where I don't have reception with the card....
Overall a nice card, but the reception is not very good. The USB one is much better with great reception all over the place.
But of course that one has a wire on there and all so it's a trade off.

Summary: Welcome to the Linksys/XP Nightmare
Review: I only have one thing to say about this card. Don't do it! I purchased it last night and spent the better part of 4 hours trying to get a decent signal from even 3 feet away from my BEFW11S4 access point. Needless to say, after much frustration and de/reinstallation of the different drivers and "tweaks" from Linksys regarding XP, I finally gave up. As an IT professional, there is only one word to describe this product - JUNK! One more thing, the manuals are absolutely abysmal. I am returning it today and purchasing a Netgear card instead.

Summary: Don't buy it: Low Range & Propensity to Lock up
Review: I rarely write reviews, but I feel the urge to warn other shoppers after my bad experience with Linksys wireless PC cards. I am an XP/Linux/networking/hardware expert with 5 years of experience. The Linksys card is durable, looks great, and is a breeze to install under WinXP and Red Hat Linux. However, the card has two critical faults: (1) the range is poor and (2) sometimes the card refuses to connect to the WAP. The second problem makes this card unusable in my opinion. The card either fails to find the WAP after booting or drops the connection mid-session and does not recover. I haven't found a solution to the problem, but I've seen several postings on the web about the same issue. I've had a great experience with other Linksys products (hubs, routers), but the WPC11 version 3.0 is junk. SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND BUY A DIFFERENT WIRELESS CARD!

Summary: Toshiba users read
Review: I too was skeptical when I read the reviews that were written. However I decided to try anyway, and I did have problems. My Toshiba Satellite Pro 4340 would not recognize the card at all. I downloaded the latest drivers for the WPC11 from Linksys website and everything. I almost gave up and returned it.
Instead I tried one last thing, I went to Toshiba website and downloaded the newest drivers for my PCMCIA slot for my computer.
Then installed the card and it worked great. So the point is, Toshiba users, get the latest drivers for your PCMCIA slot before you return it. Works as advertised, little less signal rate than I hoped, but it works just fine.

Summary: Easy setup, signal strength a bit disappointing
Review: Setup was flawless using the Linksys quick start guide on my HP notebook running Windows XP. I am somewhat disappointed with the limited signal as the distance from the wireless access point (Linksys BEFW11S4) increases within the house. Also, I have a number of 2.4 ghz telephones in my home and every time they ring, it causes this wireless card to lose its link with the access point. Usually requires manually reconnecting. This happens more often when the signal strength is showing 'low'. When the phones aren't ringing, this card does perform well.

Summary: Worked Great, Easy to Use and Install
Review: Despite other reviews, my experience with this product was very easy. The reason for the difference is I have Windows XP, so the plug and play immediatly recognized the product and literally 1 second later I was surfing the net. The only thing I dislike about my wireless internet is that the distance advertised is greatly exaggerated. They say 300 feet but I can go into the next room 20 feet away and start to lose connection. Other than that I think this is a great product. As the years go on this kind of hardware will improve.

Summary: Woo Woo
Review: This thing was a piece of cake to install and get running. It took me about 5 minutes to unpack the wireless router, plug it in, pop this card into the laptop, and be on the net. I bought the cable modem/dsl router (used it as a WAP instead of a router with no problem), signal booster, usb wireless point, and pcmcia card. I haven't installed the USB, and have yet to set up security. So if you drive by my house, stay off my network!!! I get range out to the corner of my neighbors' yard through 4 internal walls, one brick wall, and a bunch or air. It was snowing when I was wandering around the neighborhood with my laptop in my shorts and boxers, but I never regretted a second of it!

Summary: easy to use, great signaling
Review: I bought this PC card along with the Linksys WAP11 wireless access point. It took me less than 10 minutes to set up both unites. I had, however, to call the customer service just once, where they were very helpful and got the thing work in just few minutes. I use the PC card at both home and work and it picks the signal with no trouble. I highly recommend this product from Linksys.

Summary: BAD CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Review: After 2 calls to India and three emails requesting a good driver. I give up. Their support is so bad that I was unable to convince them that the last two emails that they sent me did not have an attachment. I guess arguing with the customer is there new strategy.
