Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?

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: To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart. |

 Easy Install! December 1, 2008
I received this adapter for my extra desktop and easily installed the card and had it working within 10 minutes.
Works as expected. November 29, 2008
Works just as expected for a wireless-G adapter. Keep in mind this is a wireless-G (and without MIMO of course) and if you're thinking of upgrading to wireless-N anytime soon, it may be best to look for a more advanced adapter (wireless-N with MIMO). The one I bought is now used by a 10 year old, off in a back bedroom, connecting to an inexpensive Linksys wireless-N router in the livingroom, to play games online. The kid says they have no glitches when playing. One could assume that more mature, heavier online gaming might require a more advanced adapter.
Excellent product November 23, 2008
This Linksys adapter worked as advertised. I like it and can recommend it to anyone wanting to have a home net sys.

 Stinks October 7, 2008
Ever since Cisco bought Linksys, product quality has gone straight downhill. Manufacturing quality has gone all plastic, all lights, software and such is downscaled and up went the price. Thank you Cisco. I hope the CEO pf Ciso is enjoying his ill gotten gains.
the item never worked properly, and it seemed to be that you have to install the software first then install the item. then is struggles to get a signal and the fight is never worth the results
