Product Description
The Linksys Wireless-G WPC54GX4 Notebook Adapter with SRX400 will enhance your wireless networking experience. It's got a new technology called SRX, or Speed and Range eXpansion. With an optional SRX router you can achieve up to 3 times the range of standard 802.11g, and up to 8 times the speed of standard 802.11g. The Adapter also uses "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the data rate, using signal reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. A stronger signal means better wireless coverage, which leads to a strong, clear, fast wireless connection. If that's what you're looking for, look no further.

 Costly service for Customer Asssistance June 27, 2009
Denise Dillard
In order for the product to work properly, you must first have an internet service, router, and network setup in your home provided through your internet provider. Once ths product is installed, you will need to connect it with your home network and make certain to secure it. Should you need to contact Linksys for assistance, it could become costly. They have a start-up fee for assistance and it could accrue to higher fees depending upon what you need help with. Once all this is done, the product works fine. I can access wireless services at any location I visit without any problems.

Bad experience with this product May 28, 2009

I installed it as laid out in the instructions. It worked for 1 week then when I unplugged it and tried to plug it back in my computer would freeze. I shut off the Windows Zero config utility and just run it off of the software, no luck. I tried to uninstall the software and reinstall it but it kept telling me I couldn't because the driver was already installed. I tried to run it off the Windows software, no luck. I even tried to use system restore and go back before I installed it to reinstall the software but got the same message. I quit.
 Buying this item solved my networking problem March 19, 2009

My problems started when I was trying to create a new wireless network at a neighbor's place. I bought a new Linksys router and installed it, but couldn't get my 2002 laptop to connect. Actually, it connected once or twice for a minute and that was it. The weird thing was, the laptop connected fine to my old (2004) Linksys router at my place.
So I moved the old router to my neighbor's place, brought the new router home, and spent an entire weekend screwing around with it. Despite excellent technical support from Linksys (the main reason I buy Linksys products to begin with), I wasn't able to get my old laptop to connect to the new router.
At first I thought the problem was with the new router. I even drove all the way back to Walmart, returned it, and bought a different model (I returned a B router and bought a new G router). Unfortunately, after uninstalling all the software for the B router, and reinstalling everything for the G router, my laptop still wouldn't connect to the network.
But then, on a lark, I fired up my old Windows 1998 computer just to see what would happen (I hadn't booted it up in years). To my amazement, that old clunker, with a 2002 USB Linksys wireless adapter, connected to the new Linksys router just fine.
That little miracle allowed me to narrow down the source of my problem to the laptop itself. What really threw me in all of this was the fact that the laptop still connected to my old Linksys router. So, I got online and bought this new WPC54GX4 card (and for an amazingly affordable price let me add).
After it arrived, I plugged it into my computer and at first it wouldn't connect to the network. I was like, "Dammit, guess I'll use it for a hockey puck". Then, all of a sudden "Waa-laa!", the card connected!!!
It has been working fine ever since and all of my networking problems are solved for now.
