4 of 5 works fine Friday, August 01, 2008
A Customer from NJ
The card works fine with my Linksys wireless G router. Installed on Windows XP SP2 centrino laptop (3 years old). The software conflicts with my existing Intel wireless B card (built in) and software but it still works. The linksys software is not as good as the intel but hey, it's a three year old laptop! All I need is to be able to stream video from my local lan. Now I can watch my avi files without drops. Recommended. Price was great. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Card great software not Sunday, May 25, 2008
magic669@hotmail.com from Dallas Tx
The card is fast and works very well. The networking software did not want to connect correctly and would not hold WEP key. I have a linksys router. I used the windows interface instead and it worked very well. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Excellent Item Saturday, February 10, 2007
Will from Brooklyn, NY
To all the techies, computer savy people and everyone out there,
If you think that buying a wirelss card with speedbooster as opposed to a regular makes little difference then you better think twice!
If you live in an apartment building or a busy area where there is much interference such as cordless phones, mobile phones, multiple people using wireless internet, then this wireless with speedbooster is the way to go.
When I was using my laptop's built-in internal wireless card with my wireless travel adapter, I was dealing with constant poor signals or none at all. Now that I have the wireless card with speedbooster, my signal never gets lower then 55%.
TIP - If you plan to use a home cordless telephone at the same place you use your wireless internet, I recommend a 5.8ghz or higher range to prevent inteference.
Good luck and enjoy! Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Solid Performance Friday, September 29, 2006
A Customer from Fresno, Calif
Installation was a breeze. Just plug it in and a few clicks later the card was setup. The card is being used with a new Linksys WRT54GS and, after a month of use, the performance has been very reliable.
I have used this in every room in a 2-story house, as well as our backyard deck that is 60-65 feet from the router, and I have not had a single drop so far. Good to excellent signal strength from every location. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 It's not cheap but it's like being on a wired netw Tuesday, February 14, 2006
asoave3527@yahoo.com from CT
I know nothing about wireless connections but at the insistence of my college student who has wireless access on campus, I attempted to set up a wireless network in my home. I can't believe how easy it was! Getting the router up and running took some time. However, once that was done, all I needed to do was install the software from the CD, plug in the card, and hook into the home network. The wireless G with Speedboost card can be used with a regular wireless G router. The router I have will also accomodate wireless B, the card my college student has. One system for everyone's computers, that's easier and cheaper for me. And, the signal is so good that even if it's less than 100%, you get a great connection without having to worry about getting booted off. Once the home network is set up, you can share music, video and data folders across computers, even back up everyone's data on a shared hard drive. The wireless network has made sharing information a lot easier. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Be careful on installation Tuesday, November 09, 2004
chris from Dallas, TX
Now that I've got it going, it's great - very fast (with the corresponding "speedbooster" router/access point). Just be careful to install the software BEFORE you install the card. Otherwise, it will make the wireless connection fine, but not be able to connect to the internet. Once I got past that, everything was easy and it works great. Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 Software doesn't run on Windows ME Friday, October 01, 2004
steelydale9@yahoo.com from Barto, Pa
The connection utility software that comes with this card does not run on Windows ME. After several hours of frustration trying to get my notebook to connect to my wireless LAN, I called Linksys Support and they were able to determine that it's a KNOWN problem with their software running on Windows ME. The solution was to download third party wi-fi connection software from the internet and use this instead of the Linksys software that came with card. This is just unacceptable.
