Summary: problem with windows 2000
Review: I have 2 computers at home with one running xp and the other one running windows 2000. I'm getting bad connection with my windows2000 machine even it is closer to the router.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Easy to install, awful performance
Review: I just got the adapter with the wireless dsl router. I had little trouble installing the router and adapter (on windows 2000 machine), just had to find the right cable connecting to the dsl modem, and only got a BLUE SCREEN once. I was exciting for 2 mins after connecting to the wireless router but then my connection dropped. I was then able to establish connection but only got 1Mbs. I have my dsl router in the living while the PC is on the second floor. So now I guess I will just run the wire from the second floor to the living room.
I'm glad I got the router and the adapter from amazon so I can easily return it.

Summary: Wireless...What a great word and product
Review: took 5 minutes to replace my 10/100 card on my machine (running winXP) with this one and insert the disk and I was surfin the internet in 8 minutes...

no differance in speed...50 feet away and going through 3 walls on the same level...

Summary: Affordable and managable home networking w/ Linksys...
Review: Just got my 54G PCI card & it works great. I absolutely love it and it has had no problems working w/ my current 802.11B Linksys wireless router. Going to upgrade to the 54G router from Linksys later. Just plugged the card into my computer and away we went w/ instant wireless internet/intranet access. Took no time in setting up the 128bit encyption & was very easy! The only thing I am having a problem w/ is setting up my network printer, but I think that has something to do w/ on my end. Gr8 deal for sixtyninebux w/ free shipping! Would highly recommend it. Right now the router is approx 100ft away w/ approx 6 walls between the antennae and router (works great!) Also Linksys tech support is awesome and patient.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent throughput
Review: Bought this wireless pci card to network in combination with linksys wireless-g access point.
Initial setup was not particularly intuitive, but excellent customer support had me networked in around 20 minutes after install.
I am anxiously awaiting the release of the WET54G wireless-g ethernet bridge.

Summary: Poor speed with Windows XP
Review: Installed OK, but speed was terrible with security enabled. Only marginally better with it disabled. I would recommend rather go with "Netgear MA311 Wireless PCI Card" for windows XP. The Linksys PCMCIA cards are great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SO GOOD I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE!
Review: Started out with a PCMCIA card for my laptop (XP) and this card for my daughter's desktop (XP) to connect through a Linksys wireless access point... worked so well I decided to go wireless with my main computer (2000). If they'd make a USB 54g version I'd change my wife's old iMac also. Easy and somewhat painless. I did get the "blue screen", noted by the other reviewer, when I first connected it, but after visiting the Linksys website, downloading the new drivers, removing the card, and then re-installing the card it has worked perfectly ever since. This problem was only on my Windows 2000 computer. The XP's were painless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter
Review: I have both the wireless card for the desktop and laptop, and I would recommend them both. I give five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than advertised!
Review: I set this network up in my home (and I know NOTHING about networking), and it works so well you wouldn't even know it's there. It is fast and reliable! My neighbor saw it and we got him set up too!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 0 for 2 does not inspire confidence
Review: Have tried two of these in an attempt to upgrade an existing wireless network.

Card 1 caused blue screen ..., with the message indicating a complete hardware failure. Was able to reboot my machine after removing the card, but the damage had been done. No amount of driver reinstallation, Emergency Repair Disk, or suggestions from Linksys Tech Support could get my machine back to its previous, working state (using the old Linksys network adapter). After several hours, decided my time was too valuable and did a full machine rebuild.

Card 2 seemed to conflict with my video card. As soon as the drivers loaded, my monitor rearranged all the pixels at random. The usual color scheme was there, but no two pixels that should have been adjacent now were. Rebooting did not solve the problem, but at least the removal of the card did, so mercifully saved another rebuild.

One bad card could be simply bad luck--but two in a row is a little much, and I am not going to bother trying a third. I will wait for one of Linksys' competitors to come out with a 54g card.

By the way--kudos to Amazon.com for making the return process simple.
