Hardware good - software bad

Reviewed By: Mike B on 8/23/2007

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Good range, works like a wireless PCI card should. (with XP SP2)

Cons: The wireless utility that comes with this card did not work right for me. I could not maintain a connection using the bundled software.

Other Thoughts: I uninstalled the utility that came with the card and let Windows manage it. Since then I've had no problems.

Works With Vista 32BIT & 64BIT

Reviewed By: Sycomunkee on 12/3/2007

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: After a couple weeks with Vista and a few long nights, this product works with vista. I know people will want to know this. Especially with the time being put into different wireless cards that get the (Code 10)Error. Visit the cards homepage for up to date driveers.

Cons: None really.

Other Thoughts: I've tried the Belkin USB FD5070(?) and the Netgear W311v3 with no luck. This card is definitly the way to go, at a great price.

It's worth it...

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Just bought last one from Newegg,... it's my second unit first worked flawless with Win XP and Vista...second will work with custom build system with Win 7.

Never install any software that comes with it... Win XP & Vista loads the newest Marvel- Libretta drivers for the unit. Managing throught networking tools from OS...

Had no idea that some others manufacture wireless adapters can NO WORK with Vista... that's new for me...!

Cons: Well,...didn't see any..

Other Thoughts: Should buy more for 4 desktops I have... but still using the wire as the fastest and most secure connection for my network...

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: It works well in a upgraded 1998 Gateway G6-400 PC. Yes a 1998, you read it correctly, a Gateway made in 1998.

Cons: The computer is 11 years old but, it works fine for wasting time on Facebook and other light duty internet surfing.

Other Thoughts: The PC has been upgraded with a Power Leap 1.4ghz upgrade kit, Audigy gamer soundcard, 384 mgs of memory, 128mg ATI graphic card, and 300 watt power supply. Ubuntu 9.1 Karmic Koala ROCKS!!
