2 out of 5 eggs

Pros: It connects to my network.

Cons: The antenna falls off along with the piece it screws into anytime you touch it. I bought this for a MAME cab and constantly had to push the antenna back in. It seems like they forgot to solder something.

Other Thoughts: I switched to a Wifi USB dongle.

1 out of 5 eggsDisconnect every 5 minutes, literally.

Pros: It fits into the computer and runs on windows 7 64bit.

Cons: Doesn't work for more than 5 minutes without it dropping then having to reconnect. I am 4 feet from the router... Do not buy this unless you want to have download speeds of the mid 90's.

Other Thoughts: Makes a great back scratcher.

3 out of 5 eggsDisconnects...

Pros: Cheap! Speed is alright for Wireless G.
Easy to install

Cons: Had frequent disconnects on Linksys E1000 and E2000 routers. Changed many settings from suggestions I was given and even tried DD-WRT on the E2000 with no success. Disconnects never lasted more than a minute but this isn't acceptable for most users.

Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for. I ended up re-selling this card with my old PC after I completed a new build for myself.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Great

Pros: Works Great, Easy to Install, Good Price

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Make sure you screw in the atena all the way in the back to get the best recepetion. Sometimes that extra 1/4 of a turn can really make a difference.

1 out of 5 eggsTotal waste

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Drops connections all the time, terrible speeds.

The antenna is really flimsy.

Other Thoughts: Replaced it with a TP-LINK TL-WN722N - dramatic improvement.

2 out of 5 eggsDepends on the Walls

Pros: Works with Windows 7 64 bit connects to a network

Cons: I had to go about 20ft and through 3 walls the connection speed was absolutely terrible if you're doing something like this this is not the card for it

Other Thoughts: I purchased a yagi antennae off of eba*y (not allowed to say that for some reason) and that gets a decent signal that is bearable for basic use but not for online gaming use LAN for that

5 out of 5 eggsWhat more to ask?

Pros: Installed and worked right out of the box.
Recognised my computer (and vice-versa) and my WiFi ADSL modem. Got to 54Mbs instantly.
Small footprint.
Installed in that PCI slot next to my video card, no air obstruction.

Cons: Should have bought two!

Other Thoughts: $15 including shipping? You must be kidding me.
Thanks Newegg!
