OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
So, you've decided to free yourself from the umbilical cable of your local network and go wireless. You've got your laptop computer. Check. You've got your Linksys Wireless-N router. Check. Now you need your Wireless-N notebook adapter card card.

Wireless-N is faster than the 802.11G standard, and tends towards longer range (up to one hundred fifty feet). But if you don't have a Wireless-N router, you don't have to go Wireless-N all at once if you don't want to; this card is also compatible with the 802.11b/g standards. You will get better range and speeds with a compatible Wireless-N router, however.

Faster speeds, longer ranges, fewer dead-spots; what's not to like? So check it out and decide for yourself, but we think you might just like what you see. And we'll be here, cheerfully waiting to sell it to you.

Pros: Works well. I don't have any more problems connecting to my wireless network like I did before. The transfer rate is a lot faster than the onboard wireless G I have in my laptop.I have never lost signal while using it.
Cons: Ocassionally when my computer goes into hibernate I have to reset the card. Thats as simple as unseating the card and reseating it.

Compact, inexpensive and it works

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Compact in PCMCIA slot, so no ugly antennas like the USB version. Set up is simple. Running is fine with either the Linksys monitor if you like green, or Windows Wireless. We use N speed exclusively on our network and it always connects at 270 mbps, faster than our internet connection
Cons: The device is sensitive to other RF signals, and noise. In a noisy laptop environment it self throttles back its speed. Even throttled back to 108 mbps, it's still faster than 802.11g however.
Other Thoughts: I have used Linksys online chat for support. I found them to be helpful, unlike some other company's sites.

We have two of these, on in a Gateway, one in a Vaio and are happy campers.
