Great Card. I combined this with the (finally delivered) WRT5G wireless "G" router.
Pretty easy setup. Made an icon on my laptop desktop for easy network admin of the card - works pretty slick.
Speeds are just as fast as if I plug in the old hard wired Linksys card (cable ISP)and about 3X as fast as the old 802.11B WAP I just removed. Seems to get much better signal as well (was getting 37% at 100 feet now 97% at same distance).
WEP security was pretty tricky - direct typed in the hexidecimal instead of using the passphrase generator (shudda worked?)
The bonus is I can take this on the road and still connect to "B" airport/hotel/starbucks WAP's.
I'm excited that I upgraded, my wireledd laptop is just as fast as my desktop and fileserver.Rich in California
Rating: - Works flawlessly on the two 802.11b networks . . .
I've used it on so far. In fact, I'm here at a Starbucks writing this review using the Linksys g-card & T-Mobile HotSpot (a public, subscription-based 802.11b/Wi-Fi wireless Internet service). It's nice when new products are trouble free right from the start! It worked without incident on my home network (consisting of the D-Link 614+ 802.11b AirPlus wireless router), too. Backwards compatibility indeed. 'Works for me.
Rating: - 802.11g is here
The wait is finally over. The IEEE 802.11g standard is now available with the Linksys Wireless 54g PC Card. The 802.11g standard runs at 2.4 GHz, the same as 802.11b commonly known as Wi-Fi. Because both standards operate on the same frequency, the 802.11g standard is backwards compatible and now offers 54Mbps.The Linksys card will provide maximum speeds of 54 Mbps when used with a compatible 54Mbps wireless access point. It will work with other brands as well. The backwards compatibilty also allows it to work with 802.11b networks that you might already have at the office, home, or at Starbucks. 54Mbps will be a noticeable difference because the wireless spectrum is shared. When in public hotspots your speeds will now increase due to the additional bandwidth. If necessary, the Linksys card will switch back to 11Mbps when communicating with the older access points. This happens automatically. This is definite buy at a GREAT price.
