This review is from: Proxim ORiNOCO 11b USB Adapter Gold - Network adapter - USB - 802.11b (Personal Computers)

I got this wireless card based on the recommendation of a friend after I lost my other card. I am VERY happy with it. The configuration is very easy and quick, and the client utility is very well laid out for finding new networks and setting up profiles to save the configuration settings. One word of advice... the version of the client utility that comes with the card is not the latest one. Go to their website and download the 2.4.2.14 version to get the very latest in software and driver. Highly recommened...

I knew this was an excellent product when I first saw come out about 2-3 years ago; and had my heart set on it when I'd need a Wi-Fi card. No real problems have arisen with it, just a little snafew with the vendor, Tech For Less. They originally sent me an Orinoco 11b USB Gold Wi-Fi adapter. They did rectify the situation rapidly though; by the following Wed. I had the correct product. However, I had to send the wrong one back with RTS label they setup for me. All is well now.
