Excellent card and worth the money Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Good warranty
- Easy to install and configure
- Superlative reception with no drop-offs
- Works in a plethora of operating systems
Cons:
- My system won't let me have this card and a wired NIC at the same time, but I think this may be a flaw in the Windows OS

As Good (or Better) Than Cards at Twice the Price I have multiple PCs linked to a wireless router and have used 54Mbps network card from Dlink, Netgear, Belkin, Microsoft and now TRENDnet. All of the cards were about $20, though the TRENDnet card is the only one that didn't require submitting a rebate form (and with my Dlink purchase, I missed the submission date on a $30 rebate so that one cost me $50).
The Netgear and Belkin cards were terrible (weak signal, dropped connections) and I ended up returning them. The Dlink and Micros...

Highly Recommend When I was in search for a cheap and efficient wireless LAN adapter for my computer, I happened to run into TRENDnet's wireless PCI adapter. I wasn't sure if it would be any good since it was only $20. But after reading a couple of reivews, I decided to take a chance.
One of the best decision I've made (computer-wise). I just plugged it in, attached the detachable antenna, boot up my computer, and it was ready to go. Since I use Windows XP, I didn't even need to install the softwa...

Great performance and inexpensive This card replaced AT&T wireless card and works flawlessly but only after latest drivers are installed. Problems experienced by MO reviewer may be due to not installing latest drivers, not disabling Windows wireless configuration software suggested by another review or bad location of card. Moving my PC just a couple of feet improved signal strength from 55% to 80%! I've had the card a couple of years, and the only problem I encountered was changing routers resulted in failure of Windows 98SE...

Cheapest wireless adapter around and works excellent I only tested the adapter for 5 days, but I did it heavily: 4 days of uninterrupted transfers, that was continuous file transfer and video streaming for about 90 hours.
What I noticed:
Problem: -at the beginning Windows XP had a problem on browsing the networks available, and I had to connect using the TrendNet utility.
Good thing: -once connected to my LinkSys WRT54G wireless router the transfers were just as good as over the wired network (note: I use 64-bit WE...

Incredibly poor quality! The Trendnet TEW-432PI (B1 build) is an incredibly poor quality piece of hardware. I have tried multiple methods to get it to maintain a consistent signal or at least stay connected to my router (which is less than 25 feet away through a wall) more than 10 minutes to no avail. I have tried to use the latest drivers, use the bundled software, change my router's channel signal, use WCZ to override the bundled software and connect via Windows XP's own methods, etc. and nothing has managed to get ...

Worked fine for about a week. Worked fine for about a week. Could not get this set up using windows xp to configure this. Had to use the software provided with the card which doesn't support WPA, only WEP. Tech support through email was only moderately helpful, lengthy response times with basic answers (isn't most tech support like this anyway). When working it was great, had it set about 60 feet away from Netgear router, then quit working. Going with D-Link after this.
