Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use.
Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.
For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time:

Worked GREAT, right out of the box.......2007-12-11
Had no problems and it is fast and works wonderfully in my very LARGE house.
Constantly disconnects.......2007-12-07
I have 3 laptops that never, ever lose connectivity to my router - so don't go blaminig my problem on that! But his card? OMG Let's just put it this way, I have my 128bit passcode memorized because I use it DAILY!!! Yes, I've downloaded the latest driver. Yes, I've changed all the settings as suggested. Yes, I've tried everything suggested. It's just a piece of junk. And according to Linksys blogs, other cards for towers have similar problems. Linksys just lost a loyal customer.
Works Great.......2007-11-07
This Wireless card works great with my WRT54G Linksys router. I use WPA with
MAC address filters on my router and all my wireless connections with this card work better than when the PC was connected directly with the DSL router.
Easy installation and setup.
Still going.......2007-10-16
Purchased this wireless card several years ago and have used it in a few computers I've owned. Still working perfectly to this day with no problems.
pretty good... but not really.......2007-09-29
This is a good piece of equipment when it works... when it isn't working it is sometimes the buggiest internet connection ever. Maybe its the combo that sucks... I have an airport express wireless router by apple, since I have a couple mac laptops in my house, and my desktop (a hp media center m7750n) is a door down the hall. I never get 5 bars... sometimes it just doesn't work... and sometimes i get a message that says access: local only which just means im so close yet so far away from internet connection. Do not buy this product unless you're very patient.

802.11G 54 Mbps Wireless Desktop Card .......2007-12-26
802.11G 54 Mbps Wireless Desktop Card
Easy to install, cheap, and works very well.
It works, but definitely has problems.......2007-12-21
I bought this because of the price, and because I thought a pci card would work better than the USB adapter. I had been using a Netgear USB adapter one that kept dropping the wireless signal. This one did the same thing. Yes, the router is in the other room so there is one wall in between, but still it must be at most 8 ft. away! It kept going from 2 to 4 bars (out of 5) no matter how I moved the antenna or my computer.
I recently got the MSI PC60G Turbo G from Amazon, and already it has consistent 5 bars. It doesn't drop the signal for 5 seconds every minute like both of the other ones. I hope this MSI one is a better choice, and I am returning this one to Amazon.
Cheap and easy.......2007-12-17
This card is inexpensive and works with the Windows Zero Configuration utility. I have purchased and installed many in my client's machines. No complaints.
capta rapidamente.......2007-12-17
al encender el computador busca rapidamente la señal disponible , mantiene su funcionamiento , la recomiendo .
awesome.......2007-11-30
The product was SO EASY to install - software too. It delivers greater value for the price. Look no further - this card is the answer.
Average customer rating:
- It's been reliable
- Great product in my experiences
- Vista Incompatible
- This one finally worked
- very happy. works with linux.

It's been reliable.......2007-11-26
I've had it over a year now and it's been pretty flawless. Haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
Great product in my experiences.......2007-11-26
I was simply stunned to see such low ratings for this card. I have installed this card using ubuntu linux, which worked great and effortlessly. I have also installed this card on windows xp, and have had just excellent experiences. It picks up a great signal in areas where other cards don't. I even picked up one of these used from ebay and installed it in an old computer running windows 98, and it worked fantastic. I am really just shocked to see such bad reviews for this card. In my experiences, it has been infallible.
Vista Incompatible.......2007-05-16
You must first install the software, then shut down, then install card, then power up and configure. Unfortunately, you cannot install the software if you are running any version of Vista. D-Link tech support apologizes for this known issue and suggests downloading their Vista driver Beta which they describe as 'unstable.' Huh?
This one finally worked.......2007-02-06
I have several Linksys wireless adapters, usb, pci, etc that I could never configure with a Linksys wireless cable modem/router. This one worked fine. Go figure. I had to reinstall once when it stopped working by (1) removing software, (2) removing the card, (3) reinstalling software, (4) reinstalling the card. Installing software 1st seems to be an important step.
very happy. works with linux........2007-01-12
yes, it works with the linux madwifi (atheros: ath_pci) driver. although w/ FC6 is a real pain to configure....eg. i had it working properly w/Network Manager and suddenly, not working again. at any rate it's linux approved! now go forth and b mobile. :-)

Day 2, still cant connect to network........2007-07-21
This card is well constructed and installed effortlessly. Unfortunately, the "installation" disc it came with only includes an older version of Acrobat 4.0 and a Quick Start Guide/User Manual. There is no software or wizard to help you with setup.
The manual prompts you to type in an IP address to your browser address bar. OK, so I did that...now what??? The options I'm told I'd be presented with are not there, and I tried IE and Firefox on a clean install of XP Pro. I'm anxious to see what this lan card can do cause the old 802b adapter I had in the computer only gets a "good/very low" signal on my network, where this Gigabyte board shows an "excellent" signal, but I still can't connect. I'll keep after it, but I'm an experienced hardware guy and installation should not be this difficult.

WMP55AG review.......2007-05-21
I am a third line commercial network administrator and my cousin asked me to come over and install the wmp55ag card after it had stopped working. Apparently she thought some update had disabled it. I spent at least two hours trying to get the thing working with an 802.11b network downstairs
which it refused to associate with although it said it could on the box. I could see all the networks in the area but could not get an ip address or connect to any of them even though the one I needed to connect to was unsecured. I uninstalled the linksys software and tried using windows to control the card, still nada. In my opinion the card is a waste of time and money, or the one I had was broken after three weeks of use.
Awesome Wireless Solution.......2006-12-14
This card was very easy to install and setup. Just follow the easy instructions! It makes me laugh at some people who think it's the technology's fault for it not working. If you just took the time to actually read the directions you might get it to work. This product works great on the 802.11a band on my Linksys Wireless Dual-Band A+G Router.
Inconsistent Connection.......2005-09-06
Bottom line, did not live up to expectations and price. Kept getting disconnected and did not get good signal when compared to other Linksys wireless devices I have (PCMCIA Card and Wireless USB Network Adapter). I am a big fan of Linksys, but I would pass on this device.
Wireless on the Desktop.......2005-01-21
I just recently move from dial-up to DSL. Going DSL was not enough; I did not want to have cables running though the house so I started looking into going wireless. To make a long story short, after a little investigation I decided to make the leap into wireless technology. I purchased the WAP55AG router and the adapter cards, WMP55AG and WPC55AG.
Once the WAP55AG router was installed and set up, the installation of the WMP55AG PCI Adapter on each of the desktops were simple.
I had no difficulty setting up the hardware and software and with a few hours, I was on the net through the router. One desktop is running XP professional and the other desktops are running XP Home edition.
The LinkSys Web site has all the documentation you need for installation and setup. There is a "Knowledge Base" page that covers a lot of the products and answers to a lot of questions about various products and configurations; I found it to be very helpful.

poor.......2004-07-27
first off, i am a fairly seasoned network administrator. I recently began using wireless at my home, with a d-link extreme-g access point and one of the machines using a d-link 802.11g card. All was fine. I decided to add 802 support to an additional pc but wanted something more flexible (as i move around) so i choose this linksys A+G card. . .
*after* the product arrives, i noticed on the box it says Draft 802.11g support, however amazon.com advertised it as regular 802.11g support.
After a blue-screen hangup (in winXP SP1), a download of some new drivers from linksys, and about 3 hours of trying every possible setting there is, the linksys product did not work.
My access point has the latest firmware, and at least one other client here at home (using a d-link card) can connect just fine. I figure this card does not work because it (now that i realize) only supports the Draft 802.11g standard, however my access point also supports 802.11b which this card is supposed to support as well?
Bottom line, this product was no good.

Good for Wi-Fi.......2007-09-10
I got this with a used laptop and it works great around the house and down at the local library. Great reception. The only problem is with the older laptop and Win2000 Pro sometimes the connection will stall out and I have to remove the card and re-insert it then click "Rescan" in the control panel, this takes 5 seconds max.
