Seamless Set-up and Operation Being something of an electronic gadget klutz, I admit to having trepidations when I ordered this piece of equipment and the Router. I had never set up a network -- to say nothing of a wireless one.I could not have been more surprised. Following the advice of the quick start instructions and set-up CD included in the Router package, I had the network up and running in less than five minutes. Not even a glitch. The notebook adapter was installed and recognized the signal. In what seemed ...

Did not work with Compaq/HP and WINXP (until BETA DRIVERs!) As already mentioned by other reviewers, this card does not work on my Compaq Presario 900 running WinXP. The laptop freezes with 100% CPU utilization as soon as the card is installed. I've tried all the suggestions ranging from the latest drivers, disabling various items in the device manager and configuring WinXP zero config. wireless service. All to no avail! Customer support was sub-par, with the representative basically reading off a script. If you own a Compaq or HP laptop, please save you...

Easy to work with I use this PC Card with my Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router and I get about 47% signal strength, even though the router is two floors above! Extremely fast and great for Wireless Internet and file sharing. Best if you can place your router in the middle of your home for a better overall signal for most wireless users. Setup and installation was a breeze, except for two files that were not located on my Windows 98 SE CD, I just copied them from a Windows XP computer that already had those files ins...

Depends on Operating System Linksys is a very good company, however they are having a lot of problems with the software for this card, from what I hear the WPC54G works fine with XP, however with older operating systems such as Win 98 or Win Me you have a large chance of receiving installation errors. Like other users I have found support to be very unhelpful, they either don't know about the problems or refuse to acknowledge them. They will blame your operating system even thought they are having reports of problems fro...

Intermittent disconnection I will echo some of the positive things people have written about this product. I bought both the Wireless-G adapter and the Wireless-G router (v 1.1) from Linksys. I have used Linksys in the past and been quite happy with their stuff. In this situation I was pleased as i could be with the setup. I read the instructions mostly so that I would know what order to proceed in and i would say I was surfing wirelessly with no noticable loss of speed in about 10 minutes.I can walk around my small NY...

Doesn't get much better than this! This card rocks. Compared to an Orinoco Gold, the Linksys card is by far more sensitive, provides better connections & interoperates with 802.11b perfectly. In the past the Linksys cards have been know for their poor RF performance. Not so for the WIRELESS G 54MBPS PC CARD 802.11g! At any price, and the price is right, the WIRELESS G 54MBPS PC CARD 802.11g outperforms any laptop card I've ever used.

Excellent wireless notebook adapter The Linksys WPC54G notebook adapter is a treat. Mated to the Linksys WRT54G wireless router, G-speeds of 54MB/sec are possible. I found signal strength to be excellent throughout my house which spans 2 floors and 2,000 square feet.The adapter itself is quite small and unobtrusive. It requires a PCMCIA port on your laptop, and very little else. Using the zero network configuration feature of Windows XP, I was able to connect and surf in a matter of 10 minutes. If you have a different Windows O...

Great range. Easy Set up. Small problem with signal loss I'm using this card with the associated Linksys WRT54G wireless router and a Sony Vaio PCG-GR250 laptop running WinXP SP1. The range is good/low at 35Mbps at 120ft with 2 walls. The installation took 3 minutes using Windows Zero Wireless configuration. The instructions seem to be updated by Linksys judging from previous posts on this card though it still needs work. Pass phrase is not supported by XP and if you manually input the 26 hexidecimal WEP 128 key what is not stated is that the key can ...

Works nicely! I installed this card into an old Sony Vaio PCG-F160 laptop - i.e, a 300mhz laptop running at it's max memory of 192mb! I just upgraded to Windows XP SP 1 on it. (And believe it or not, XP runs at a decent speed even!)
I also use a WRT546 wireless-G broadband router/WAP, and 2 WMP54G cards for my two desktops.
I have had very little trouble with the card's functionality - it communicates very well with the WRT54G router. It is nice to be able to take the laptop anywhere in my home and ...
