 Generally works with occasional hiccups January 1, 2009
TC (Beaverton, OR)
For the price, this card works for what it is needed for, connecting a desktop from one room to a another room where my cable modem is. They are separated by one floor vertically and about 15ft horizontally. It consistently connects at 54.0Mbps, though it takes a moment to search and connect when resuming the computer from hibernation. Occasionally, it will not turn on and connect in this situation, requiring a reboot.
 great product December 29, 2008

 Not worth the money December 14, 2008

I bought this card for a Dell desktop when i setting up a wireless network in my house. Installing the wireless card into the computer wasn't that difficult and installing the drivers/software was a fairly painless process. However, the card had very poor reception and only detected a very weak signal and would continually lose the signal all together. Moving the antenna around did not increase the signal strength appreciably. Even when the wireless router was placed about 10 feet from the computer (with no obstructions between the card and the router), it still did not show the strongest signal possible. Thus, I would so don't buy this card as it is a waste of money.
Barely works... December 8, 2008

Bought this for a computer running XP Home, and so far, it barely works. Constantly drops the connection and requires it to be repaired. Have tried tinkering with settings, updating drivers, and so on, all to no avail.
 Cheap. Pain to install. Use the Realtek Driver November 27, 2008

It created a software error when I installed it - "Microsoft Kill Process Utility" created a fault. I uninstalled the supplied software and downloaded the software from the chip manufacturer - Realtek RTL8185L. Unzip the file to a temporary folder, install the card. Tell windows that you want to install from a specific location and browse to the folder. It will install the drivers, and then you can use the standard windows wireless manager to take care of connecting to your network. Driver can be found at Realtek's site. I also went into device manager and turned off the Let Windows Turn Off this Device to Save Power function.
Seems to work better now, but still drops off unexpectedly...
