Ok the only reason why I am writing a review when i haven’t bought it yet, is in reply to those who have given bad reviews. Alhtough I have bought the USB plugin version which I can say will have many more problems than the PCI version. Well to the guy that has terrible connections: Your computers may be in an area that can’t connect to the network (Linksys calls these deadspots). Simple solution, move your computer somewhere else. To the person who has problems with the Windows XP wireless control function: Just call customer support they are always able to help me in a sticky situation. To the guy who isn’t patient enough to just keep trying at the computer until it works: Look, these items have taken me (A 13.5 year old nerd) 3 hours at a time to configure without technical support. Although I have had times where I just waited until tomorrow and it worked fine after a few more tries. A lot of times if you just go to bed or restart your computer it will work. Then theres times where I do as much as I can then just let the computer sit there for months at a time and I go back on it and it works, but that kind of creeps me out at times. To the guy with overheating problems: Get some case fans and cool that computer down! To the guy who calls himself Tech-savvy: I have contacted Technical support many many times, and the worst I have experianced is a slow typer on chat. Unless you were hired by some company to degrade this product you can’tbe Tech-savvy. For the person with LCD monitor problems: Maybe its your graphics card that can’t handle it ok because I have 4-5 computers on a network all using LCD monitors and NONE have a problem with their monitor. TO ALL PEOPLE USING WINDOWS SYSTEMS BELOW 2000: LINKSYS ISN’T COMPATIBLE, AND GET A NEW COMPUTER 98 IS REALLY OLD!!! WINDOWS XP IS MUCH BETTER AND EASIER TO USE!!!
I will write another review in a few years when I have raised enough money to build my computer.
Sincerely,
Derek F.
p.s. If a 13.5 year old can do this so can YOU! Now go buy this product and enjoy… I know I will.

Don’t buy this one unless all you want to do is return it. The software is terrible. If you need proof, you should go to http://www.linksys.com/check and see all the software patches that you can download for their products. I downloaded the software but it still doesn’t operate the device.

Item was listed as “in stock” however, after oder was placed the shipping date was delayed by approximately 7 days. Was not an issue since the PC that it was to be used with was also delayed by a different vendor.

I have tried this card w Linksys WRT54GS router. The signal strength on the computer w the card was only Very Low to Low. In contrast, when replaced on same computer and location w Netgear WG311T or Buffalo WLI-PCI-54G g-type Cards I get very good to excellent signal strength! Linksys support only remedy for this is – exchange the card w another one? Well I have exchanged the card for another one with same outcome. This card is crap!
