Well designed (MS work), and compatible with other wireless routers. Weaknesses: Sometime drop connections with my Netgear wireless routers. Also, MS stopped its wireless product. Summary: This card is very good to use and can have ~11Mbps. Singal strength is high even in my living room. Although Microsoft has stopped its wireless product, this card is still under warranty. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

Weaknesses: Creates a "clicking" sound when in use. I'm not sure why. Summary: I've used the Microsoft Wireless Base Station to link to a second computer in our house for a couple of years. I chose it because of its ease of setup and was pleasantly surprised when I initially set it up. Adding wireless to my laptop was equally easy using this network adapter. I'm completely satisfied.

Weaknesses: Signal reception is not as good as I expected. Summary: I bought this device since my laptop has the slot for it, and it is easy to use. But I cannot say that it is very good at catching signal. Once I went out my door, the signal became weak. And some times the connection will even be cut. I got it from a deal, so it is OK to keep it:) Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

Strengths: None Weaknesses: Many Summary: MSBN prevents functionality with my access point (DELL) - cannot use the product without MSBN, as it breaks native XP WIFI support.
