5.0 out of 5 stars Works As Advertised, October 6, 2003

By	Paul P. Robinette Jr. "North Dakota Paul" (Granville, ND USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I did not have any problems setting this up on my notebook. I followed the directions (very carefully) and ShaaZamm! I was connected and walking all over the house. The cats thought I was nuts and my wife laughed at seeing me carrying the notebook outside, out the door and halfways across the street. Works for me. 8^)

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't know what all the fuss is about..., April 16, 2003

By	P. Cavanaugh (TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...I normally use a D-Link DWL-650+ but couldn't pass up the chance to get a backup wireless adapter for really, really, really cheap (it would be a backup for my wife's laptop too). After reading the reviews, I was worried about being able to use it and having to take it back. However, I pressed on and installed it on my laptop which has Windows XP Home on it. The first time I tried to install it, I didn't follow the directions closely and got the same error message others have mentioned. So, I uninstalled the driver and started over...this time following the directions (I even used the drivers on the CD). Lo and behold everything went smoothly and I was on the network. I use a D-Link DI-614+ Wireless Router which operates at up to 22 mbps and has encryption enabled...still worked fine. The wireless card does not have the range of my other card, but enough to justify keeping it. As to some of the longer term concerns expressed by others, I cannot comment...I'll just have to see.

In all, I don't doubt others have had trouble...but I would caution potential buyers that the quality of their experience is likely to be a function of being able to follow directions carefully and having modest expectations.
