I bought this card as I assumed I needed it. I purchased it with a router, card for my son’s laptop, and xbox360 adaptor.
My son is an IT student and hooked everything up pronto.
The problem I have is everything went through my computer and modem prior to getting to the router. There was absolutely no need for the card for my computer.
I’m no computer genius, but it seems to me that a little more clarity as to the need of this product would be nice.
Your base unit doesn’t need it. Only “additional” computers require it.
I really cant’ “rate it” as I have never used it. The rest of the stuff works great.
Live and learn.

If you buy a modem or a telephony card, this one is considered good. Personally, I have used internal modem and US Robotics modem which lasted me almost two years for each Personal Pc and three years for a Pacific Internet and Singnet Singapore Internet Service Provider. Recently, I have a problem with Efficient Network Modem which is acknowledged to be a very very good broadbandth modem. Their service is not very good in Singapore, being that you have to bring your not working modem to their Singapore Service Centre at a isolated industrial building in Singapore for servicing by their greedy money modem service professionals!!! If you used a printer, most of us acknowledged that Epson and Canon are the most popular models, jet printer and laser printer being easily found in almost every Singaporean home and Lexmark Z43 is the one I am currently using and which I believe would be the nemesis of Cannon and Epson in years to compete for the business market worldwide. So Cannon and Epson, watch out for Hong Kong based strong brand Lexmark. All said, Compro Computer is a very very good brand to use too since it serves me for almost three years now. I am lucky to have a good computer IT professional friend Mr. Chia Kok Onn, IT manager Singapore of a big MNC firm in Singapore to check on my PC regularly. And not to forget my Pay Department best friend, and upperstudy Senior Top coder Chief Coder Mr. Lee Kok Sin to service and advise on my Internet broadband connection and HP Scanjet and CanonScan N1220U model which are probably the top two scanners in the worldwide market. Do you use a digital organizer too? If so, maybe I suggest to you to use Casio instead of Palm Zire or the titanium model as Casio is made in Japan and is of lasting enduring quality. What does it means, it means that my casio digital organizer has served me well for eight years and it recently is still in good condition. A palm zire may not lasts more than three years with a drop to the floor which may costs you 20% of your cash asset on servicing charge. This is a remark from stingy me who would not spend more than SGD 30 on servicing my Siemens business handphone. All right, that’s all on technology comment now, if you are interested in finance websites, do visit me at http://www.geocities.com/derek6196/ I hope to make friends with you too.

If your data needs broadcasting YOU SHOULD BUY THIS MICROCHIP!!! It has this thing called an “antennae” which will send your data to hell and back. If you know what a WEP key is, you can configure this microchip with your eyes closed.

I just installed this card in my pc. It’s a PIII 1 gig with 256 megs of ram. I have it set up to dual boot with win 2k pro and win 98 SE.
I first tried to set it up under win 2k. It recognizes the card fine, and says it is working properly. However, the linksys utility will not run for some reason, so I cannot configure it for my network. The utility does not come up when I boot, and when I try to manually run it, I get nothing (no error messages or anything) it just won’t run.
Then I booted it up with win 98 and installed it, and everything seems to work fine. This is on the same pc with the same hardware configuration.

Unless you have system restore, do not purchase this product, because you will probably be needing it. Multiple crashes, driver failures, and when finally installed, unable to communicate with its mother router. I don’t know why my problems were so extreme – however, I am unable to understand how anyone got this to work properly – I’m no idiot either.
Tech support is NON EXISTENT ! If you email, you will get instructions to go to a fague link that tells you nothing !!!
Save your money, and wire your house for ethernet – wireless is a waste of money.
