Works good But..........2002-04-11

This is a really good card, easy to install, and is very reliable. The only bad thing is that the Wire connected to the card is fragil, and will break off eventually. I read about this problem before buying, but I figured, if Im extra careful, it wont happen to me.. but it does, and will... Ive had it for over a year now, and havent had to replace it yet, but any day now I will.. a slight bump to my laptop and the cord falls out.. Other than that problem, I recomend this card, if your not always on the go with your laptop... Z

What a headache, after hours of pulling my hair out, the dongles were bad. I purchaced two of these cards and both dongles were defective right out of the box. It seems this is a common problem with the Netgear PCMCIA cards. Sure they were under warranty but who can afford the down time of constant dongle replacement. Avoid this item and get a 3COM product, they never fail.

If you are going to try to install this on the Windows ME operating system - beware of several bugs. You may try to download the fix on their website, but don't count on that working either. Even their other instructions on their website didn't help. I ended up buying another brand and it installed with no problems at all.

Netgear certainly isn't Tough Gear.......2001-06-01

Throught the course of 8 months I have gone through FOUR of these because the dongle that connects the CAT-5 cable to the actual card always breaks where it connects to the card. If your laptop is sitting in one place all the time, it will probably be fine, but if you plan on having your laptop move around while you are connected, then forget it. The only reason I stayed with this model was because Staples would replace it for free each time it broke, since it was usually 2 months apart. Other than that, the card itself worked superbly. Fast clean connection when the dongle was intact.

Excellant product.......2001-04-19

This is a great product. I just got it in today and within five minutes it's installed and on the network. I reccomend buying this product and other netgear products before even thinking about buying Linksys products. I bought a linksys PCMPC100 for this laptop and it turned out to be faulty. I sent it back for another and it was bad as well. Now I have this card and it works like a charm.
