This review is from: SMC2435W EZ Connect Turbo 11/22 Mbps Auto-Sensing Wireless Cardbus Adapter (Personal Computers)

The smc2435w is a great card. Even with 128-bit WEP, I consistently connected at 22mbps via the smc2404bwr router thoughout the house and outside on the deck. I didn't bother to test the range any further and am too lazy to try the 256-bit WEP with its fifty-something characters code.

Important Note: I had to upgrade to XP SP1 to install the card.

I got this item in combo somewhere else, actually. I've used cards from D-link and Linksys and this one is by far the best card. Although it's not very attractive, SMC has always provided great, reliable networking products. I had no trouble at all setting up the whole WiFi network and the fidelity is great. I would recommend people never to use the XP manager for Wifi for anything. The propriety software is oftentimes better and you get less dropped packets.

Go get one. I got it in combo with the SMC Barricade™ Turbo 11/22Mbps Router with a $$$ rebate and I'm loving it.

1.0 out of 5 stars EZ Connect Turbo a scam, March 25, 2004

This review is from: SMC2435W EZ Connect Turbo 11/22 Mbps Auto-Sensing Wireless Cardbus Adapter (Personal Computers)

This network card should be called NEVER CAN CONNECT UN-EZ TURBO. From the first time I loaded the driver to the last time I want to load the driver,after speaking countless hours to the smctechsupport, I wasn't able to get this junk working. The connection is very unstable. The 1133 feet connection is a joke. I moved 5 feet from the router and my signal becomes..LOW, and don't even try to move further than that, because you will loose your signal. My recommendation- DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT, and pass this along to your friends.
