Works great on XP with enough memory. Not so well on 98seOctober 8, 2008 I had this in my small Windows 98se machine and it always worked w/o problems. So when a friend needed a wireless card quickly for her XP machine I gave her mine and ordered a replacement for myself. When it came, I noticed the box was slightly different but the card itself looked the same. I installed it in my 98se machine and it wanted new drivers! After installing the new drivers, it still would not work! A call to Trendnet informed me that the card had been upgraded and now needed more memory to operate. Since my 98se machine was already maxed out, I switched the cards (new card to XP machine and old card to 98se machine). It would have been nice if Trendnet had indicated the version on the box but it is OK as both machines are working wirelessly great.
Works, but drivers cause problems with stand-bySeptember 30, 2008 The card works great and the installation was a snap. I downloaded the latest drivers from their website (Win XP). My laptop now freezes when it goes into standby...but otherwise it works great.
The worst wireless card everNovember 13, 2007 I spent 3-4 hours trying to make this card work but it never went beyond 1 Mbps even when I was sitting 1 foot away from the wireless access point. Very disappointing.
I have a Thinkpad that runs Win XP Home. I plugged this card in and installed the driver utility from the CD. Everything looked fine and the card seemed to be connecting to the access point but my speed never went over 1 Mbps. I use WEP security in my home network.
After 3-4 frustrating hours I had to go back to my 5 year old Lucent Orinoco 802.11b card. With the Lucent card I was up and running in 10 seconds.
My advice, spend a few extra dollars and buy Netgear, Linksys or any of the other well-known brands.
Absolutely WorthlessSeptember 2, 2007 Never worked. After many hours, bought a Linksys card, which worked fine the first time not problems.
It works just fineAugust 27, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I use this pcmcia card on my HP laptop running windows 2000 Professional and so far it had worked perfectly. It comes with a software that helps you to connect to the wifi network. At home I have a Linksys router but I had used it in other networks too.
