Took out a 10/100 out of a five year old Dell Inspirion 4700 and replaced with this router. A very noticeable difference right away. Simple to install and works great!!

I am by no means computer savvy, but my internet stopped working and after an hour on the phone with my internet provider they determined it was the PCI card. I found this on Amazon and ordered it. Installation of the card was simple and self explanatory. The problem is that the software driver that comes on the disk does not auto-run, at least not on my XP computer. When I figured out how to get the disk to run, I got a window with hundreds of files. I am not positive, but it appears to me that the disk has the driver software for all the products the company sells. It's up to you to figure out what driver to install, and the files on the disk are not clearly named. In the end, it works, but it took me many hours of aggravation to get the proper driver installed. The book that comes with it is only a few pages, and it says insert the disk and it will auto-run, which it did not on my XP computer. 3 stars because it is OK for the price, and it works, but extremely time consuming and aggravating to get the proper driver installed, especially if you are not tech savvy.
