Love this for my laptop. replaced a USB wireless connector which was bulky and using precious ports. Install was quick with CD, connection is superb at the max rate, and worth every penny of the $50ish I paid.

The previous version Trendnet TEW card for wireless G worked really well for me. So I was hoping for same experience in upgrading to Trendnet wireless N. But unfortunately this card have stability problem and would often disconnect. Now I've to constantly do a manual disconnect and reconnect to establish network connection. I think it's better that I revert back to the previous Trendnet wireless G.

I was amazed that the Web express slot on my notebook was so small; somehow I thought that the "Express slot was larger than this; it's actually a little larger than a stick of double mint gum. Slides into the Express slot with a "click" and two little lights on the protruding edge wink as a connection is made with your wireless source. So far I think it's really very strong, and reliable...but I've only used it sporadically for 6 days. It was double the price at "new ovum", than compared to Amazon's vendor here. I wanted an "N" "Express slot" and they were the only place I found that had the trendNet...TrendNet's CSRs are very good, too.

The product does not work well. It loses connection frequently even when 2 feet from the router. Would not recommend it.

This card had the worst range I have experienced. I am using it in conjunction with the matching Trendnet Router. I have 4 year old wifi cards that work better then this card.
