Pros: Extremely fast, sometimes it seemed like it was faster than the direct cable. Good connection
Cons: where to start.... The first few weeks it was ok and worked great after about a month i started having problems with it disconnecting every 5 mins and had poor connection then i started gettin BSOD'S, tried it in a new computer worked for a while and then again it started to fail on me. got a new router still problems.
Other Thoughts: I still have it laying around, never ended up doing a rma so ima have to sell it on craigslist or something.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This card works fine in Windows XP. However, don't expect blazing fast connection speeds. I'd say I'm able to tap into about half the maximum bandwidth of my internet connection.
Cons: I'm not sure how important long antennas are, but these ones seem to be awfully short and the connection is all over the map. It will go from 54 mbps one minute to only 1 mbps the next.

The Windows 7 64-Bit drivers are horrible. They work intermittently at best and my download speeds dropped significantly with the newest drivers. How bad? Well I have a 6 meg connection and I can't even get connection speeds greater than 100 kbps.

Also, I get constant system lags and stalls when I'm connected to my wireless network with this card. It stalls every 3-4 seconds. Imagine dragging your cursor across your desktop screen and every 3-4 seconds it freezes for a second, and then unfreezes and then freezes again, and unfreezes. This happens constantly! It's not the router because I've connected two different ones and it exhibits the same problem
Other Thoughts: I've had this card for about 3 months now and I was happy with it up until a few weeks ago when I upgraded to Windows 7. I'm sure they'll fix this issue with time, but for now it's an absolute headache.
