    5 of 5 Great Product Wednesday, November 01, 2006
    Angela A from Milwaukee  

    I have never had a PC card before and only purchased one of necessity. Going on reviews of other customers I chose this card and it turns out they were right. The installation was simple and it worked immediately. There was nothing tricky or hard about it. If you've never had a card and want to try something out, try this. I did and its great. The only downside is that removing the antenna may be difficult and signal strength decreases but thats negligible as a whole.

    5 of 5 Fantastic! Tuesday, February 28, 2006
    Joe from Massapequa, NY  
    This is the best wireless-B card on the market. I have tried just about every brand, but this one is a winner. I use the external magnetic high gain antenna on my truck, combined with the simple configuration software, and I can find and connect to a hotspot just about anywhere. I already own 3 of these, I am now getting a fourth.

    5 of 5 Great range!!! Thursday, April 22, 2004
    A Customer from Wheaton, IL  
    I replaced a Netgear MA401 card with this SMC. Dramatic increase in range. I can leave the house and access my network from 100 feet down the street. Very impressive. Running on Mac PowerBook G4 OS X (10.3.3) with third-party driver.
