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.

Great Product.......2007-11-23
I have this product for 7-8 months...works great! speed was good...i download a lot of stuff and do browsing whole day long...it works fine.
HORRIBLE DON'T BUY HORRIBLE DON'T BUY HORRIBLE DONT BUY HORRIBLE DON'T BUY..........2007-11-10
This product is a piece of [censored]. If you play online multiplayer games like I do, such as Age of Empires III, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, or anything that requires a high fpm (frames per minute) rate, requires high speed connection with other people, a quick response time, etc., THIS IS A BAD BUY. Maybe there's something wrong with my setup, but this is it: My computer is under a glass desk with metal framing, with a lot of cords around and a circuit breaker about a foot from the back of the computer, where the antenna of the wireless card sticks out. The wireless router, an apple Airport Extreme base station, is a 2 doors down a hallway. Whatever is happening, I have NEVER gotten more than 4 bars, and anything less than that is LAG LAG LAG. Another big problem is sometimes I get connection, but it says "limited connection" or "local access only". It would be a lot simpler if it said "no connection" "no internet access" or "connected to the internet". The bottom line is, it's a low speed, unreliable, type of on-and-off connection that is the worst case scenario for anybody that needs to turn on their computer, have at least 3 bars of internet connection, and be able to go online for 40+ min. WITHOUT having to tell your friends "jus a sec, I think my internet's bugging out", or being disconnected, and having to keep clicking "connect" and get the "failed to connect" message.
Disappointing.......2007-09-10
I've had a lot of experience with Linksys products over the last few years and I have always been incredibly disappointed. This product was no different. It did work beautifully out of the box, which was a perk. I had a functional internet connection within 5-10 minutes of popping open my PC. However, after about 1 month of use, it literally just stopped working (no changes in software or hardware during this time). Tech support seemed oblivious to the problem ... Google "wmp54g stops working" and you get 805 hits (as of today at least) all describing the same problem: it works great, then stops working.
On a more positive note, tech support, at least via live chat, was very helpful and had me run a gamut of tests and configurations, all of which ultimately failed. Honestly, I'll never buy another Linksys product because of this failed product and about half a dozen other negative experiences I have had with the company failing to battle test their hardware and firmware. I've personally had very good luck with all netgear products I have purchased. However, I have not had any experience with the newest Range NEXT routers/adapters and thus can't recommend them.
