Rating: Summary: siemens = speedstream = not very compatible with xp and Linu Review: Started using this card in windows 2000. the config utility that comes with has no option to "discover" the networks and find the available SSID's. Been using it now for a while with XP. The driver is not very good with XP. Might find the network, but very slow compared to a D-link card I'm using in the same laptop. Also, right now, the card can not get a DHCP address anymore. Even though the D-link card still works fine. This even though I have a siemens = speedstream 2623 router. So sticking with the same brand did not help here.My advice: stay away from this brand all together. Buy a more known brand (linksys, netgear or so). Not this one. Not the greatest support. No updated drivers. the router does not support UPnP. Not that satisfied with this product. Would not buy it again!!

Rating: Summary: Not compatible with Windows XP Review: They have buggy drivers. XP gives a warning when installing the drivers about the fact that the drivers have not passed Windows Logo testing. It will save a system restore point and allow you to proceed. I installed the software. The connection was continually dropping and reconnecting even though I was 10 ft. from the router. I went to Siemens site to get updated drivers and this did not help. Save yourself the headache do not buy this card if you have XP. Read the newsgroups it is a known issue.
Rating: Summary: Very Good Product Review: Using this product, you don't need a access router. I have 2 laptops. One laptop is connected to internet directly. I installed this wireless adapters in both the computers and was able to share the internet connection through my first laptop which is connected to internet. For people with a desktop and a laptop this is a great buy. This setup don't need a wireless acess router. I got this one from circuit city .... I tried microsoft adaptors a week ago and it did not work in peer to peer conection.
Rating: Summary: No problems Review: Works great with my laptop. Absolutely no problems getting it configured. No problems with a good connection between my wireless router in my upstairs office and my living room (>60 feet, multiple walls in between).
