Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me? Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use.
Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.
For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time:
802.11b
802.11a
802.11g

Not what is picturedAugust 10, 2008 This product should not be under a picture of a wireless card that has an anntenae. Even though the description says no anntenae, it is misleading. And since you cannot purchase just an anntenae, it is essentially a paper weight.
Works great on Windows 98 PCAugust 4, 2008 Despite several reviewers (on Amazon and other sites) asserting that this adapter would not work with Windows 98SE, in my case, it works flawlessly. I installed the driver /software, inserted the card to a PSI slot, and it detected and connected to the wireless network instantly with no further ado. It's been a week and the Internet connection hasn't dropped once. The router is also a Linksys (WRT54) and it, too, has been performing for over a year with no problem. No need to contact the dreaded tech support on this one. Whew!
Works ok for meAugust 4, 2008 I purchased a WMP54G for my parents computer to avoid running cable through their house. The first one worked well for about a year when it suddenly received no signal - acted like the antenna connection was bad - possibly due to rearrangement of cords, etc. behind the computer. A replacement card has worked flawlessly ever since from a second story office to wireless router in the basement.
Has Never Failed MeJuly 30, 2008 A few months ago, I purchased two Linksys products: a wireless Internet router, and this wireless-G PCI adapter. The router was the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned, but this adapter has worked perfectly. The installation is simple and it never drops a connection. I even switched to a D-Link router and this product continues to work, putting to rest any compatibility issues I was worried about.
I highly-recommend this router for use with any wireless-G products...just stay away from the router of the same brand!
A Clinic in Self-ImmolationJuly 22, 2008 I've set up 3 Linksys wireless adapters now -- two of these and one Linksys WPC54GS Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SpeedBooster to work with my Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster. The first one of these and the Notebook Adapter had serious issues in handshaking with the router and required significant time on the phone with Linksys to set up, and I'm still not completely happy with their functionality.
Surprisingly, this second WMP54G that I installed had no issues whatsoever, and setup was a breeze. Too bad it only lasted 3 weeks before "frying" itself.
Am waiting now on a replacement from Linksys.
