Linksys WPC55AG Instant Wireless AdapterStrengths: We wanted a product which could be used with Airopeek wireless sniffer, and this product is known to work the best among the Atheros AR5001X+ chpiset-based cards. Weakness: For home user: With included Packaged CD, the product fails to be recognized in Windows XP. One must download latest drivers from Linksys/Cisco website. All in all, I would recommend the product because IT WORKS !!! (as long as you know where to get the drivers from , and how to install them right) 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Good product for the money.Strengths: Able to use most of the wreless networks available, especially those in hotels when I travel. Weakness: A bit finicky during the installation phase. Windows has an automatic install process that didn't work, so I ended up having to hand copy the access code from the host to the client before it would work. Since then it has performed well.

Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G-PC card AdapterStrengths: good security (WPA) good card (Good signal strength) Weakness: Installtion did not go smooth Conflicts with something on my computer Have to reinstall the card everytime I use it I think this is a good card, but there is some conflict between the card and my card bus on my HP laptop. I have not done too much trouble shooting, but the card is usable if I mess in the device manager with my card bus driver. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Recommended.Strengths: Works well with both Windows XP and Linux 2.6. Good reception and nice quality. Weakness: None so far. Works well with both Windows XP and Linux 2.6. Good reception and nice quality. I'm using this primarily with Debian-based Linux and it detects and connects with no problem. Works great with a Linksys G wifi router. No complaints and I would recommend buying this card. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Linksys WPC55AG Instant Wireless AdapterStrengths: Versatility, good signal detection. Weakness: Anomalous behaviour in status lights. This card can get reception about 10-20 yards past either of the 802.11b cards I have previously used (your mileage may vary) on the 2.4 GHz band and can receive 5 GHz signals as well, a necessity when your home and business/school networks are on different frequencies. My only quibble is that the lights blink incessantly, whether connected or not, forcing one to look in the system tray for connection status. The manual says it should display a steady light when connected. I am trying to resolve this issue with tech support, but so far they seem flummoxed, too. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Linksys WPC55AG Instant Wireless AdapterStrengths: Easy to setup Weakness: 802.11B doesn't work very well but A & G work fine Shipping was average for this site. The card was easy and straight forward to setup. 802.11A & G work fine. 802.11B doesn't work that good. Tested it with another WAP SMC brand. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Linksys WPC55AG Instant Wireless AdapterStrengths: Dual band Weakness: Large protruding antennae Although not always the best reception (which could be the same maybe for any PCMCIA device like this), this dual-band 802.11 adaptor has helped me worldwide attach to many different networks.

Linksys WPC55AG Instant Wireless AdapterStrengths: Ease of installation, reliability, security, can access A, B, and G wireless networks. Weakness: None! I you are considering starting or connecting to a wireless network, then I strongly recommend this NIC for your notebook computer. With it you'll be able to connect to A, B, or G wireless networks easily and securely. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Linksys WPC55AG Instant Wireless Adapter
Strengths: Easy to use & very portable
Weakness: Needed to update driver
I love this card. Easy to use and very portable. I needed to update the cards' driver before I could use WEP/WPA network encryption, but once that was done with I forgot I even had it, it works that well. Great product!
