Summary: Easy to install, easy to use. in a word... GREAT.
Review: My husband and I spent a lot of time figuring out what kind of wireless card to get for our IBM ThinkPads. After scouring reviews everywhere, I found that this particular card had received a lot of high marks.We ordered one, figuring that we would see how well it worked, and how difficult the setup was. We got the card, and I let my husband have first go at it. It was easy to set up. Within minutes, he was able to connect to the router. Granted we run Windows 2000, and we followed the installation direction to a T. When it came time for me to install it on my computer, it took longer for me to enter in the data to connect to the router than the install did. Neither my husband nor I had any problems with the install, and even after reformatting my computer a few days ago, it took me no time at all to be back in the wireless love. We live in a 2 floor townhouse, and we have no problems connecting to the router no matter where we are. I can easily use my computer on the screened in porch or in the kitchen. The signal is strong, and I've never had any problems. All in all, don't scrimp and save [a few bucks] by buying another card. This card is worth every penny. After reading the horror stories for other cards, it makes me very happy that I did the research and picked this card from the start.

Summary: Reliable product for a fare price
Review: ORiNOCO PC GOLD CARD. I installed this and updated the driver on windowsupdate.mircosoft.com instantly. I am running both Windows XP and Red Hat 8 and it works great on both platforms. Very cool!
What can I say, I love it!

Summary: Simple installation, good performance
Review: The initial installation with the supplied software was very quick and easy; it only took about 5 minutes. I use this card when I'm on campus. Because the IT department there supports the card, they have instructions on how to configure the card to work with their network. Although the instructions were a bit dated, that configuration took another 10 minutes. Once that was done, I've had no problems connecting to the network. I'd consider the performance to be very good, but I don't know what that's worth because I sit within 50 feet of the access point anyway and I don't move either.

Summary: Terrible card
Review: The software for this card is the worst. I noticed in another review someone had good luck running it with a D-Link 614+ router, I could never get it to connect. Maybe it's a Windows 98 issue but there is no conflict with card as far as 98 goes. Even the software that came with the card indicates it is working properly. I've tried everything including changing TCP/IP settings directly and the card will not connect with the 614+. Tech support is about a joke. After fighting with this card for hours I went and got a Microsoft USB and it ran 5 minutes out of the box.

Summary: Easy to set up
Review: This card was quite easy to install and configure, even without my knowing much about computers. It took me about 30 minutes to get it up and running. The card has good range (from my basement to the second floor) and the speed is also great. It does seem to slow, however, when a cordless phone is being used in the same area. Overall, I'm quite happy with it.

Summary: Easily worth the extra $...
Review: This card was recommended to me by a friend who has written a book on how to set up a wireless network. The card, he said, is manufactured with superior components. I was tempted to buy other wireless PC cards that purport to do the same thing but cost $... instead of $..., but in this case I took my friend's advice -- and I'm very glad I did. The card works very well. I've used it in a two-year-old ThinkPad running Windows 2000, an ancient ThinkPad 760EL running Windows 95, and a new Gateway running Windows XP. No problems with any of them.

Summary: Absolutely marvelous...
Review: To those of you laptop users who are searching for a way to get into the world of wireless networking, here is by far the greatest card for the money I have ever seen. First of all, let me say that I owned the DLink 22Mbps card before I purchased this one after becoming disgusted with how the card refused to work. I purchased this card after hearing Tech Support at work say that it is a decent card. After a somewhat difficult configuration period (the one criticism I have for the card is that the software installation and configuration was a bit more tricky than implied by the instructions) I got the card to work marvelously. It grabs and holds signals incredibly well. I've sat in the hallway outside of my lab and left the card on observation to see how many antennas it was detecting, and found it was picking up the antennas at the opposite end of the corridor, easily 500 feet away. The only complaints I have with the card are the instructions (I already mentioned) and the fact that it has difficulty dealing with concrete walls, but I suspect any card would have problems with the 4" cinderblock walls with 2" of plaster on either side that exist in my building. Don't waste your time, money, and energy on a cheaper card - spend a little more money and get a card you can depend on.
