See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies. | Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use. Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.
For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time: To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart. |

Title says it all for me. It worked fine under XP until I upgraded to Windows 7.
 Not your father's Linksys July 12, 2010

I was using this adapter to replace an ethernet network setup after one of my cats chewed through the CAT-5 cable hooked up to one of our desktop pcs. Installation was a snap with pci card and with software. However, the software just would not make a connection with the internet despite making a connection with the wireless access point (another Linksys product). After 2 hours on the phone with Linksys tech support they finally concluded that the product was not compatible with Windows XP SP3. They suggested I get a wireless USB adapter so I bought the Linksys wireless-G adapter and that didn't work either-another compatibility issue with Windows XP Pro SP3. I don't know about you but it seems to me that since Cisco bought Linksys the quality of Linksys products has really declined dramatically and I cannot recommend them any more. I have a 10 year old Linksys ethernet router that works just fine so I gotta believe that Cisco must have played a direct role in the decline in quality of Linksys products. Question is whose products do you buy? From what I read, Netgear and D-link products are just as bad if not worse.

I got two adapters and a router for $60. Good luck trying to find that deal again.

This wireless adapter installed quickly & works flawlessly on Windows Vista running a Linksys router. I'm extremely happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking to free their pc from wires. Two thumbs up!
