Worked the first time.......2007-04-04

Being new to wireless technology, I was unsure of what brand to go with. I read lots of reviews, both positive and negative and ended up settling on the Belkin wireless G router and card. Both worked flawlessly the first time with my Mac (hardwired to the router), PC (wireless), and even the PS3 (wireless). Needless to say I am satisfied with my purchase and the price is hard to beat.Belkin Wireless G Router DSL/ Cable gateway

Remember the look is a black aerial and it works like any other.......2007-03-02

You could in theory spend twice the price of this for another WNC that does exactly the same thing and works exactly the same way. Why? ... because they are built by the same labor forces and the same material and the same production methods. The days of `brand name equals higher quality' has long since been terminated. Just look at the market since 2000. It has all changed. As long as you go with the top companies and distributors you are going to be getting stuff that is practically the same especially when it comes to hardware like this. If you want a router with a `look' or a modem with a look then obviously that plays a big part in what you want. However when it comes to WNC's you are talking about a black aerial sticking out of the back of the PC. There isn't much of a look there. In fact you can't tell the difference until you see the software that controls it. In this case the software is the same stuff everywhere. Detect wireless internet connections and connect to them. It's the same stuff and this works fine and dandy without error. Great. Cheap. Works. What more could you want for a black aerial sticking out of your PC?

It works with all wireless routers I have detected with it. It is cheaper and does the same thing as all the rest. Get it.

Note: This is version 6 or above. The version 4 models and above have WPA2 security. Be aware that older models in the shop might not have WPA2 and only WPA so check the specs before you buy. This version was WPA2.

This card worked out of the box on my Linux, Ubuntu 6.10 based system. This Belkin card--at least the version I have-- is based on the Atheros chip set.

Despite what the Belkin folk told me over the phone, this does not work on a mac.

This card was completely useless for me. I tried to install it in a Dell PC with a Pentium II running Me. Granted, it's an older setup, but Belkin says it will work. Not for me. The software/drivers wouldn't even load properly. I called Belkin, they said don't use the CD, download the new version from their website. Ooookay. Well, it installed, but it would not recognize the card or connect to the internet. My PC could never find the hardware either. Believe me, I tried every setting I could think of, un- and re-installed the software, everything. Zilch. The phone guy, though nice enough, was no help. So I scrapped it, went and bought the Linksys equivalent. It went right in, the drivers got it running and I get strong, reliable wireless internet while completely across the house from our router. Heed the words of myself and the others and don't buy this. Spend the extra couple dollars for a Linksys.
