5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding wireless card, May 7, 2008

I purchased this card along with the Belkin Wireless N Router. The installation and setup were easy, and the documentation is crystal clear. The card and router are operating very well. I am getting speeds of 72 Mbps at close range, and 55 Mbps at the other end of the house. The software that comes with the card and router makes it easy to understand and monitor your network. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent, January 20, 2009

Card lasted about 3 years, during which time it worked well. Installation as I recall was simple enough, and you are offered the option for proprietary program to handle wireless networking, or let it default to Wnidows. I tried both options and both went fine.

It connected reasonably well with Linksys and Apple routers. Interestingly, the worst connection was with a matching Belkin N router, but that was the junk router's fault.

No real problems with this card until it died unexpectedly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with IBM T22 and Win XP, January 5, 2011

I couldn't get the Belkin F5D8013 N wireless card installed on my IBM T22. The second I inserted the card to the laptop during installation, the laptop will freeze. It will unfreeze if I remove the card. I am using the latest driver from the Belkin web site. I observed the same problem on a different HP laptop. Either the card is defective or the driver is not compatible w/ my version of Window XP (32 bit).
