 This does the job just fine for casual use. August 30, 2010
Vincent Rivellese (USA)
This was very easy to set up. I do not notice a significant increase in speed or signal strength with the Belkin N card versus the B/G, but there is a little, and I have no way of knowing to what degree my results are affected by the router versus the card (Belkin does recommend you use a Belkin router and I didn't, but how that affects the result I have no clue). I'm certainly not bowled over -- the B/G card was adequate for my purposes before (web and word processing while remotely logged into my office) and this one is as well. It is definitely a little stronger and faster than the B/G, but in my case not a multiple as the N-touters advertise.
Caveat: if my 4 stars is contributing to your urge to buy this, please note that I am satisfied because I was not looking to upgrade, and was not looking to take advantage of Wireless N speed on this laptop. I was using an old Belkin B/G wireless card to connect my 7-year-old HP XP laptop to my wireless home network, and I was fine with it for this machine which I did not use for any demanding purposes. I then upgraded my router from B/G to a cisco valet with Wireless N, and while I didn't know it at the time, this required me to have WPA security on all connected machines in order to take advantage of the router's best features -- but the old B/G card had only WEP. This one has WPA (as probably all modern cards would, I assume), so for twenty bucks and free shipping, I figured I'd keep the old laptop in the loop. If you want this because you want to triple your wireless connection speed for downloads or video or something like that, I have no basis to recommend this card to anyone for that purpose. Someone with more know-how and the desire to figure it out alone or with customer service might get more speed out of this than I have, and if you get this for a decent price it might be worth that effort, but I don't need that and did not try. It solved my problem quickly and cheaply, and it does what I expected, so I like it.

This product works beautifully. Increased my notebook PCC wi-fi speed by a factor of about 3X. The notebook internet speed is now comparable to my desktop PC that is Ethernet connected to the router. I don't need the range extension but it's nice to see the reception quality always at "excellent".
Very Satisfied August 8, 2010

Item arrived in new packaging and I installed the card and software in under ten minutes. The wireless card installed with no hitches and works great.
 Couldn't get the card to work July 20, 2010
Teresa (Virginia)
I installed the software using the included CD, then the card, had to manually installed in device manager. Still could not get the card to work. I repeated several times and still could not get the card to work in my Dell D600 so I returned the card. I guess I got a bad one.
Very good price May 24, 2010
Jefferson Davis (Wash, DC)
The first one I purchased from an office supply store, I paid $50 in 2008. Then recently I needed one for an older laptop and this was a fraction of the price and it works perfectly with my Belkin N router.
