Customer Reviews

Small Annoyances
It works very well most of the time, but every now and then it will start to get low signals of 1mb for no reason. I found that if you unplug it and plug it back in it will work fine for another couple days or so.

I would recommend this Wireless card if you can handle those annoyances. Otherwise spend a little more and get a much better product.

Just plain junk
This thing doesn't even work. If I have my computer right next to the wireless router then it works. Good luck finding drivers for it too.

Up and running in 10 minutes!
I needed to get a new adapter for my PC after my old one died on me after 2 years. I installed the software and followed the SIMPLE directions and was up and running in 10 minutes!

My signal strength is strong and I'm very satisfied with the product so far. I can't comment on the longevity of the adapter as I just set it up yesterday but based on initial setup and price this little adapter easily gets 5 stars.

Oh, by the way, my wireless router is about 15 feet away through one wall and I run Windows XP if you're curious. This thing cost only $12 after a $10 mail in rebate at the time I purchased it(8/08). Hope this helps!
