Pros: When it was working, it was working well. Solid connection, good download speed.

Cons: It was unpredictable. Suddenly stopped connecting. No MAC, no DNS. Frustrating. Maybe tommorrow.

Other Thoughts: I can't have an unreliable connection. I'll have to get something else. I have used TrendNet products successfully in the past, but this bad experience makes me want to look elsewhere.

Pros: I have had this product for 2 years now, and it has been a great little gadget for the cheap price. It installed very easily, and the drivers were a piece of cake to get running. The antennas have very nice flexibility and rotation as well. Helps to get the best signal possible.

Cons: The connection has slipped out on me a few times.

Pros: It works ok when it works.

Cons: It is unstable and as of this writing (January 2013) it is an older and not well-supported adapter. The very latest drivers are from 2009.

I do not recommend this particular PCI wireless adapter. I recommend that you get something else. I won't purchase this one again.

Pros: Easy to install, driver disc helpful but not really necessary esp. if your running windows 7. The Trendnet utility is nice with easy to use GUI. A novice should be able to use it.

Cons: Well every time i move a usb cable around it looses wireless. It does come back, the card does not do well over large distances with thick walls. Signal strength is at 75% - 80% overall. First night in new location had issues staying connected. I believe it was a service provider issue.

Other Thoughts: All in all it was a great buy

Pros: Not many other then it was cheap

Cons: Not plug and play even with Windows 7. Driver prompts you a warning when installing driver/software? Poor range and throughput. Not even as good as a USB dongle.

Other Thoughts: I really should have known better from the cheap price. This card is most likely a Draft N card and does not do well in any areas like range,speed, or benefit over a USB dongle adapter.
I cannot recommend unless you locate it very close to the access point (router). I would think duel antenna's would provide a better signal connection over a USB dongle. But in my experience this is NOT the case.

Manufacturer Response:

Valued Customer,

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please take our advice as follows:
1. Please update your driver if applicable using this link: http://www.trendnet.com/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?TYPE_ID=24&SUBTYPE_ID=1258
2. The InSSIDer shareware tool will tell you if you have any older 802.11b legacy devices in your current wireless network that can possibly affect your current “n” speed devices. Also, please ensure that you choose a wireless channel that is minimally used by your neighbors and surroundings to avoid possible interference by conflicting devices. This will present the highest bandwidth possible.

If it still doesn’t help please contact us at sales@trendnet.com, reference "New Egg product review" and our Sr. technical personnel will help and resolve the issue with you. We look forward to working with you directly to restore your faith in TRENDnet products.

Pros: -Easy installation

Cons: -Antennas aren't as flexible as I'd like them to be.
-Every now and then I have to manually reconnect to my network after rebooting.
-Connection to the network cuts quite often, interrupting videos on YouTube or connections for online games.
-Provided configuration utility is a joke.
