Easy to install, followed instructions on the cd. I use this card in an old school building, the reception is excellent. Have used for a few months now without any problem.

This card is a great investment if you do not have built-in capabilities. Easy to install and works well with the belkin router. I would definately purchase this product again.

I am happy with this wireless card. I have several computers that I have installed wireless cards on. This one was one the easiest one to install, because the software worked the first time. I have had trouble in the past with some other well known brands, but this card was installed and working in a few minutes. I haven't tried it outside of my house yet so I don't know what kind of range it has, but it works well in my house. Before this I had a wireless usb card and it broke because it projected out of the back of my Dell laptop and when I would set the laptop down, it was usually the back first and so it became damaged. This card does not project out nearly as far as the usb type and also comes out the side so I don't have to worry about damaging it. I highly recommend this card.

Linux Users Beware.......2007-03-09

I purchased this card after borrowing a card with an identical product number from a friend. My friend's card worked out of the box with my version of Ubuntu Linux.
When I received my card, it simply did not work. After doing some research, I found that I had a card with a different version number, and a different chipset. My friend's card had a chipset made by Atheros, which worked out of the box. The card that I purchased had a Broadcom chipset, which is notorious for being incompatible with Linux. Even after going to the forums, I was unable to make the card work.
Belkin is dishonest, in that it makes changes to the chipset without changing the product number, only the version number, which the consumer is not made aware of. Had I been aware that the card had a different chipset, I would not have ordered it.
