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.

Sweet LiL Ad On
- Pros: Turned a dead spot (room) into a media powerhouse and download monster. Card works great and picks up 9 other wifi adapters (read open wireless connections) in the area. No wonder wireless G was terrible in here. Anyway, works great 4 bars (a long way from the router) and still 270 MB/ps.
- Cons: I have to remove the card for storage..... ok. Wish the top cover was black to match my notebook, but I digress.
- Other Thoughts: DO NOT use the driver disk for anything other than downloading the pcmcia driver. Use the Winshaft wireless zero config manager and you will not lose your wireless settings. (Let windows manage the wireless connection..) It's scary but sometimes Bill get's it right.
- Pros: Dealing with a lot of networking in the military, you see your share of problems in the field. Routers that act up, computers that just refuse to work right, and everything else in the spectrum. This card, in under one minute, connected to my 802.11g network perfectly. I'm using it right now to type this.
Perfect solution for those that want the room to upgrade but still want to use every network around.
- Cons: Only real downside is that it doesn't support 802.11g linksys routers with speedbooster. It connects at normal "g" speed. I won't worry about that once I get an "n" network up and running though.

worthless
- Pros: looks good
- Cons: tryed it when I got it and now it will not even power up.
- Other Thoughts: used ONE DAY! now reinstalled and will not get power. 3 year warranty is a JOKE. unless linksys reads this and sends me a new one I will not but their product again.
solid
- Pros: fast, strong signal strength, good distance, and let's not forget fast. setup the driver on XP and was connected to my linksys N-router within 3 minutes.
- Cons: unfortunately the antenna sticks out like a sore thumb, but is sturdy.
can't ask for more
- Pros: works as advertised, has far better range than I thought it would, although I have not yet upgraded my wireless to draft-n, the signal strength is higher than with my older adapter
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: good price and fast shipping, newegg is OK!
