I put off installing this card for weeks after receiving it since I anticipated needing a large block of time for the usual troubleshooting to get it working. I was annoyed at myself for the delay after I had it up and running in ten minutes. Now I have an Internet-connected PC on the other side of my home from the cable modem/routers and the connection is automatic each time the PC is booted up. It has worked flawlessly so far - what a bargain!

This was a very quick install that worked from the first minute it was completed. Whole effort less than 10 minutes.

I am completely satisfied with the quality and was surprised that it worked as well as it does with such distance from the router. This item is just as great as others selling for about $50.

I did some research before ordering this item. I found that this card has an Atheros chipset and works out of the box in Linux. This is the only reason I ordered this card as I already had a wireless-N card installed which would not work in Linux.

The card I received had a Realtek rtl8185 chipset and dosent work in Linux. I am returning the card and I will order a different one.

It took me sometime to get it running, but in the end it connected me to the internet and that is what matters most. A great price and a great addition to my wireless network as well. My computer is atleast 10yrs. old and if it worked on mine than I'm sure that it will work on yours if you just follow the directions step-by-step.

I purchased this wireless card for my childrens computer. I have never used or installed one before. Less then 5 minutes after I started, I had wireless internet. It is simple, and the connection is great. Very fast. Have not had any problems. I recommend this card to anyone who needs a simple, easy install.

I had to shop around a bit to find a Wireless PCI Card that would still work with ME, this unit does. Setup was quick and easy, good functional product, and good price.

I bought this wireless card for the computer my boyfriend was building for me and it worked well for a bit, but then after a little over a year it started acting funny and then eventually just quit. The computer no longer finds wireless internet connections and I have to use a USB wireless card. I probably would not buy this again or recommend it.

Product arrived very quickly, much more so than expected. It was simple to install and works well.

I ordered this device after some research. The website says that they have added new drivers that are compatible with windows vista. However, after installing the windows vista based drivers and setting up the proper configurations for the router and network, it refused to connect to the network at all. Hours were spent double checking all devices and access connections, but it would not connect. I ended up taking it out and installing the device onto a windows xp based computer as well with the same results. I don't know if it was just a funky wireless card or if the cards in general are just this tedious to setup. I will not be purchasing any product made by these people again.
