 Easy installation and a big improvement over the last adapterMar 01, 2007
By E. Wagoner
Bought this to extend the range my notebook has for receiving 802.11g wireless signals. I pick up signals from all over now. Big improvement over the adapter the notebook came with. I have both XP and Vista running it with zero issues.

I got this card to increase the connection speed of my son's HP Pavilion zv6130us laptop. The unit's built in WLAN just didn't seem to work that well.
This card works great. Although, it could have something to do with us having a D-Link G router as well.
At any rate, my son is playing MMORPGs at a pretty good clip. No complaints. I like the fact that the card doesn't stick way out from the laptop like a USB adapter would. This lessens the likelihood of it getting snapped off, especially when rowdy kids are involved.
As far as range goes, I really can't say. We just use it in the next room.
This card saved me from buying a new laptop. Can't complain.
 no way to make this work with XP... really, don't try itAug 08, 2011

Looks like a perfectly good product, except it does not work with XP SP3... googled all the possible options... tried all the suggestions... it's just not supported, end of story, so I have a fourteen dollar hockey puck...
Works fine.Jun 11, 2011

Bought this refurbished. I have an old tablet that doesn't have a wireless card. I figured if I bought something with wireless N abilities i might be able to use it to upgrade other devices after the tablet is long gone. Also, it was cheaper than most of the decent G cards I looked at. Nabbed the drivers off the D-Link website, haven't had any problems. Running Windows XP Tablet Edition SP3. I haven not been able to test wireless N speeds, as I have no acess to a wireless N router. However for what I'm using it for, it works great.
