This item is one in a long line of wireless cards from Linksys. It comes with good documentation and software, is easy to install and works right away. I bought it to be able to use WPA-PSK and it can handle that up to 63 characters. I am using it with an IBM T-23 laptop, and it works just like advertised.
Great Product
This product works great, I've had it for a couple of months, and it has worked as described. No problems. I have Windows XP, and an older lap top (2002?). Works great.
Works Well With My Linksys Wireless Router
It took awhile, but I was successful getting this wireless adapter to work in my old Windows 98SE IBM ThinkPad. The software is nicely compatable with my Linksys wireless router so I was able to use WAP encription instead of WEP (which is so easy to hack these days). The very small antenna on this PCMCIA card is sufficient to pick up a good signal anywhere in our 2 story home. (My wireless router is in the basement.)
Support is a KILLER!!!
I have had my Linksys router for 3 years. I also had to get a bridge to extend the range because it couldn't go through walls very well. I had to call them a lot because sometimes the bridge or router somehow lost the address.
They used to have free support until just very recently. My beef is with the cost of support. 3.99 a minute. ( I don't know if that includes listening for many minutes to bad music.) You can get 3 months support for $199, 6 months for $299 or 1 year for $499!!! I can tell you I spent many hours talking to tech support before this recent change of events. You will need tech support now and again when you change ISPs, go elsewhere.
Exactly as advertised
The card arrived promptly and was exactly as advertised. No problems. I would order from this merchant again.
