Summary: one-step installation. superb signal strength.
Review: it works very well with Windows XP and a microsoft basestation. its basically plug n play. as long as the installation cd is in the tray, windows xp installs the card automatically.
signal strength and speed are both excellent.

Review: It just works. It is still a little pricey though for a little wireless adapter.

Summary: Works great with Windows XP
Review: I downloaded the latest drivers from the website and it works great with XP. The range is fine with my Netgear MR814. If you're having problems try changing channels on your router, often one channel has interference while others do not. I haven't had any problems that others mentioned, my hibernate works just fine. Just download the latest drivers.

Review: I bought this card because it was not very expensive. It sets up as well as can be expected but its best suited for a laptop thats not going to move much. My concern with this card is that it has a non-moving antenna (blueish part in picture - it sticks out about 2 inches (and is as wide as the PCMCIA card ( sliver part with sticker)and you cant get too much stuff by it or the link suffers or drops off. This card is best if: 1. you are in the same room as the wireless router.
2. dont even think of using the microwave if your doing something important! (in general this is a 802.11b issue, to be fair)
3. you CAN afford to get a better card if cant move your laptop (or pda I guess) or get sick of moving it to find a signal.
4. you have (or get someone with) some networking experience.
5. dont care that your buying a "16 bit" PCMCIA card. remember, 802.11b has a max through put of ~10mbit. Thats not what you always get depending where you have your equipment setup. Infact you might have to do some serious experimenting to get a connection you can really live with. as with any card make sure you use WEP and a firewall or you will be "hacked"....(sigh). the manual tells you what WEP is and if you own your wireless router that manual does also. to sum up: I have one - its ok. I might by another one if is on sale but not for more than any other card.

Summary: Excellent card - simple,inexpensive,looks great .
Review: Its cheap & easy to install.True plug n play. The only installation issue that I had was that during initial installation it couldn't connect to the router.The reason being that I had multiple LAN connections active at the same time.Just a matter of disabling the Ethernet LAN connection and viola it started working. Sometimes the connection drops but then its more of a router issue.The card itself works fine. What more could you want ? :-)

Summary: cheap and reliable
Review: This pc card has given me almost three months of strong wireless signal from a downstairs 'Network Everywhere' wireless router (made by Linksys) hardwired to a pc and cable broadband at the back of the house to a laptop pc upstairs, in a flat at the front of the house. When internet speeds have been slow, it seems to have been because of slow internet speeds on all the computers in the house rather than because of a slow wireless connection, so I'm convinced that this is a good product that works at the fastest internet speeds available from cable broadband. For file swapping within a network, a faster card may be more desirable, although 11Mps is still faster than broadband internet speeds currently available, so for internet access this card is superb. But make sure you pasword protect your wireless setup to prevent uninvited guests slowing you down and logging downloads in your name from nasty sites.

Summary: Great card... works great, looks great
Review: Installation was easy. Works great. Had no problems connecting to Linksys router. Had problems connecting to Netgear router, but I think it was due to a problem with the WEP on the router itself, not the card. I have absolutely no complaints about this PC card. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to connect a laptop wirelessly to their network.

Summary: Disappointing so far
Review: Since I am fairly computer savvy, my inability to keep a WiFi connection on my laptop has been making me feel like an idiot. But since I started looking at the Linksys and Netgear reviews I'm comforted knowing that I am not the only one having problems with these products. But I wonder what is the solution? I have a Dell Inspiron running Win2k. I was using a Linksys card to talk to a desktop containing another Linksys card, which worked fine for awhile. But the Linksys in the laptop recently stopped connecting so I purchased the Netgear card. From the start the Netgear loses the network conection frequently, and even when it has a connection it won't allow me to copy a large file. Weird. The Linksys used to be able to handle this; in fact, I loved the Linksys while it was working. Great range, decent performance. Perhaps WiFi is still a little too bleeding edge?

Summary: Works just great
Review: Used with Netgear MR814 router. Provided a stable conection on the same level in the house as the computer. Also stable on the lower level and on the deck. Maintained 11 Mbps throughout the house. Picked up a neighbors router with no difficulty. Don't forget to implement all the security suggestions On the router. Change network name from Wireless, Password from the word "password" and enable WEP at 128. If they warranty for 5 years it will probably work as long as I will need it.

Summary: Fast & Easty Installation - Works Great!
Review: I don't have cable or DSL service at home, but I wanted the wireless card so that I could use wireless networks at cafes in Boston. Installation took about 1 minute on my Windows 98 SE laptop, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I noticed I was connected to a wireless network. The wireless network I receive is approximately 250 feet away (almost the length of a football field) and I receive excellent reception and fast connection (about 6MBPS... I'm not sure, but I think that's pretty good for the distance I'm located from the wireless network I'm tapping into). The NetGear MA401 was economical, easy to install and gets excellent reception even from great distances. Wow! I wish I had done this a long time ago!
