 Excellent Wireless Card at an excellent price July 19, 2010
Michael F. Frey
Usually I don't bother to add reviews to items that already have a couple of hundred people saying it's great but I couldn't resist piling on for this card. When I bought it I thought I was taking a bit of a risk since MSI was not a firm that I was familiar with. Right out of the box though this card started to remove any doubt. An excellent set of instructions, the card was not "cheap" and the antennae hook up was not flimsy. Drivers installed easily card detected my Wireless G gear effortlessly. In 15 minutes I had turned my son's desktop from Network frustration (using a USB wireless adapter) to Network pleaser.
The story got better though. Using XP my son and I both realized that this card was outperforming most of the other adapters in the house even though my son's room does no have easy "line of sight" to the router and the signal needs to pass through a concrete firewall that surrounds the furnace (don't ask). The easy to position external antennae is a hugh boon. Finally my son decided that he wanted to run Linux. Mind you he's not yet a teen. He was able to install Linux from and get on the network with no issue. The other cards in this category cost twice as much and I just don't see it. I have this one for more than six months and I'll likely be buying another one to improve performance on some other desktops.

I have three of these cards on three different OS, XP, Vista and Windows 7. The only problem I had was with Windows 7, it will not recognise the card as new hardware. This is easily remedied by going to [...] and downloading the driver for windows 7. You will need a second computer and a memory stick or something similar. As soon as you run the new driver the card is recognised and you can connect to a wireless network immediately. Works great even with a router on a different floor of my house.
MSI PC60G Review July 16, 2010

Ordered this card about a month ago for my Windows XP computer. When i first plugged it in, I was getting weird connections with the included software. I would have a connection for about 40 minutes, then the connection would start dropping every 5 seconds despite a solid signal. After some looking, I discovered that the problem wasnt the card, but the software. I recommend installing the RaLink driver and software for this card. I installed them and since then have had absolutely no problem. No dropped connections, great signal, great quality (surprisingly for the price). A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to Windows 7 and followed the same process. The RaLink driver and software installed fine the same way they did on XP and my connections continue to be good (I'm pretty picky, because I consider myself a gamer, and I need a solid connection to be able to play). One thing I might change about this product is the length of the cord on the antenna. It is a bit short and the only place Ive been able to find to put it is on top of my subwoofer under my desk. Other than that, this is a great card I would recommend to anyone.
Of note, I am on the second floor of my house, and the AirPort to our family's Mac is in the basement. I get about a 75% signal through two floors.d

Easy to install...open case, find an unused PCI slot and insert. Screw antenna lead to adapter, and place little stubby antenna on top of CPU. Load software from CD after bring computer back up. Go to website and download a couple updates. I have this on an older machine running Windows XP and works well enough at a range of about 30 feet from wireless router and through several internal walls. The connection is sufficient for normal use, and have even pulled up a TV show on Internet and this also worked. Not the same as a hardwire connection, but more than adequate for normal use and cannot beat the price. Only negative might be a wish that lead from adapter to antenna was a bit longer.
Works Like It's Supposed To...No Hassle June 23, 2010

When I retired my old but still working computer, I thought it would be handy to have it on the home network as a backup. I have absolutely no experience with converting a computer to a wireless networked machine, but I figured that these days, things like that would probably be pretty much plug & play. I read the reviews and ordered this unit. I'm happy to say that I installed it today (easy), turned on the computer and loaded the software drivers (easy) and signed on to the network (easier). The instruction book is not totally forthcoming and detailed as to the steps required, but it's close enough to intuitively proceed. It would be nice for it to explain in more or less layman's terms some of the steps and choices (Ad Hoc vs. ?). Like I said, I'm not experienced in these things but apparently made the correct choices and the card with its cute little antenna works just fine and I now have my wireless backup computer for little cost and no aggravation with the installation. In all...highly recommended.
