I purchased this card as a last resort attempt to cure my wireless connection. We have a 2 family house with access points on the 1st and 2nd floor, it is not an overly large house but try as I might I could not get a consistent signal in parts of the house with the built in LAN card on my Gateway laptop. I moved the routers, tried different antennas, downloaded updated drivers, even bought a new router for downstairs, but would only get 1 or 2 bars in the living room, with multiple drops. As a last resort I thought, why not disable the on board wireless and try a wireless card?
My laptop does not have a PCMCIA card slot, so I was limited to wireless express. This was the least expensive card I could find.
All I can say is, it works great. No drops, strong signal even outside. For me this was a great purchase. On my Vista laptop I did not have to install any software it used the Windows software and was a turnkey fix.

NETGEAR Wireless Digital Music Player Review

NETGEAR Wireless Digital Music Player
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Now that I have this set up it does exactly what I wanted it to very well -- that is, in a wired network environment, it streams all the mp3 files that I have on my PC's hard drive through my traditional two-channel audio setup. It has a number of limitations: it doesn't support Internet radio, except for a paid service, and it doesn't support various rights-protected data formats. But it does do the one thing I bought it for extremely well: allowing me to enjoy my entire music collection in an organized, well catalogued way, through my home audio system.
As this whole field of products is still pretty new, I also didn't want to spend more money on one of the more advanced systems -- it seems that the customer feedback on all of these media players remains pretty mixed. So I stuck with something relatively simple, and this little box does what I want for a reasonable price. (Previously I was using my iPod on a docking station, connected to my stereo...for the modest price of this Netgear player I've now liberated the iPod that previously was wired up to my stereo.)
A couple of cautions:
1. A lot of the customer problems cited here at Amazon seem to relate to problems with wireless transmission. I did not even try to set this up in a wireless network; I just hard-wired it into the network port I had installed in my living room. I have had a lot of frustration in my home w/wireless devices so finally just gave up and dropped in wiring for a home network while I was having other electrical work done in my house. I am glad I bit the bullet -- the wired network is saving me a lot of time and trouble. This Netgear product is just one example of the kinds of things that are very happy tethered to a wire that seem to be much more problematic when they are wireless.
2. Throw away the software disk that comes with the hardware -- don't install it!. Instead, download the new software and firmware that is on Netgear's site. I couldn't get this to work at all at first -- tech support advised me to uninstall the provided software, download the software update on their site, and start over. This got more complicated than it sounds because I'd already built a database of songs for the Netgear and I had to hunt down this database file and kill it, too...it got a little bit tricky...so it took me a couple of hours in all to get this fixed. Had I started with the new software posted on Netgear's site, I would have had the whole thing done in 20 minutes. In any case, just go right to netgear's site and download their new software, and don't use the junk they ship with the product.
I also found netgear's tech support to be very, very good -- they answered the phone quickly (on Christmas Eve!) and were extremely helpful and patient.

NETGEAR WG311T Super-G Wireless PCI Adapter Review

NETGEAR WG311T Super-G Wireless PCI Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just installed the WG311T PCI cards on two pc's connecting through my WGT624 and so far everything is great . Good signal and speed on both computers and no dis-connects . Iam pretty happy with my results todate .
But .......
IMPORTANT NOTE ON INSTALL WITH XP AND SP2 !!!
1.)If you use the Netgear application to monitor/manage your Wifi stuff then you MUST disable the "wireless-zero" in the "Adminstative tools" in the control panel for things to work correctly ( start/settings/contrpl panel/administative tools/services/wireless zero ; and put to "DISABLE"
2.)If you use WindowsXP to monitor/manage your Wifi , then you MUST disable the Netgear application (start /run / then TYPE IN: msconfig / then look in "startup"/ then DISABLE or UN-CHECK the line saying "GEAR 311T".
You must do one of the two items Ive listed to make sure your netgear Wifi works /connects properly (to the internet) . Seems you cant NOT use both applications together in anyway . Ive done ALOT of testing on this and this is the ONLY method(s) Ive found to work correctly (and this is not mentioned by Netgear or Microsoft) .
I hope this helps future users of this equipment . =)

Panasonic Wireless 802.11 b/g Network Camera and Pet Cam (BL-C30A) Review

Panasonic Wireless 802.11 b/g Network Camera and Pet Cam (BL-C30A)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Panasonic BL-C30A is a wireless camera with embedded web server. It can be connected to your home network through an ethernet cable or wirelessly (the initial setup has to be performed through the ethernet connection). Once you've properly configured it for wireless mode, you don't need a computer: just plug the power adapter into an outlet and place the camera wherever you want (within the range of your wireless network).
Anyone can connect and view/control the camera remotely. If you have a broadband connection and know how to configure your router to open a port and assign it to the camera's IP address, you can see your webcam from anywhere in the world. Very handy to keep an eye on your office or empty apartment while you're away.
The embedded web server supports access restrictions through passwords of course; and users can pan/tilt the camera lens -- the only drawback is that Internet Explorer is required to use the camera (the display and controls are handled through an ActiveX control, which basically means that only Windows PCs with IE will be able to use access it).
Image quality is pretty good: you have a choice of straming video at 320x240 or 640x480 (at a reduced frame rate) and you can control brightness and video quality from remote. Users can also take 'snapshots' (i.e. save individual images).

I have another wireless webcam (a Linksys WVC11B) and the Panasonic's image quality and features are definitely superior (on the other hand the Linksys is also $100 cheaper).
The camera also offers additional advanced features like heat detection (which can turn the camera on automatically and send an email alert if someone, or something, warm gets within the sensor's range) and scripting. I've never used this, but I suppose it can be useful if you plan to set up the camera as part of a rudimentary security/surveillance system. Some cameras offer motion detection, but it can be triggered by changes in light -- heat detection seems to make more sense.
Main caveat: configuration can be tough, especially if you're a newbie. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable and it still took me a while to get it work with my wireless network until I figured out that I had to set the WEP encryption mode to 'open key' on my wireless access point (shared key mode is not supported, though this fact is buried in the documentation).
Overall, I recommend the BL-C30A but I wish Panasonic provided a way for non-IE users to access the camera (and the configuration software could also be vastly improved).

Cisco-Linksys WMP54GX Wireless G PCI Adapter with SRX Review

Cisco-Linksys WMP54GX Wireless G PCI Adapter with SRX
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'd heard about this booster from some friends, and thought it would be just the ticket to give my home wireless network some punch. Man, was I surprised when I installed this board.
When I fired this thing up, I picked up good strong signals from 3 other sources in my neighborhood, and at speeds of 11Mbps on all of them. WOW! And my home network is blazing fast now, no more drop outs or slow downloads. This adapter does everything it claims.
Maybe the best thing about this booster, and I am no fan of Linksys, is the ease of installation. Just remember to install the drivers first, then plug in the card and the 3 itsy bitsy mini-connectors for the antenna and voo-ah-lah...you're in bidness. If there is a real negative it is the antenna cable...at 3 meters it doesnt allow you a lot of freedom about where you put the thing. 5 handcuffs

The Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter installs in most desktop and tower PCs, and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building without the cost and hassle of running network cables. Now you dont have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. The Wireless-N PCI Adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-Ns Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area.

D-Link DWL-800AP+ Wireless Range Extender, 802.11b, 22Mbps Review

D-Link DWL-800AP+ Wireless Range Extender, 802.11b, 22Mbps
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Despite what some folks may tell you, this product will definitely work (and work well) with the Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless 802.11b router. Thus, I echo the comments of poster "PC Hardware Fan" from South Carolina.
Here are the steps I took to make the Range Extender work:
1. D-Link customer support is 1-877-453-5465 (they're actually pretty nice and patient with novices like me)
2. Type http://192.168.1.1 into your Internet Explorer address bar and look for the LAN Mac Address for your Linksys router (do not write down the Wireless Mac Address; the LAN Mac Address is the first of the two on the Linksys set up page). While you're at it, also retrieve your WEP encryption key (if applicable). You'll need this info to configure your D-Link range extender.
3. Go to the D-Link website, go to Support and download the version 1.9 firmware for the DWL-800AP+ onto your computer's Desktop.
4. Plug in the D-Link wireless extender into a power outlet and connect an ethernet cable between it and the Linksys router.
5. Plug your laptop/desktop computer into the Linksys router (when configuring the D-Link, you'll need to use a "wired" connection, not a wireless connection.
6. In the Network Connections page (under Control Panel) of your computer, change the properties of your Ethernet connection (right-click on Properties, then click on TCP/IP and click on Properties) to have the same IP address range as the D-Link (I used 192.168.0.5). This involves changing the default from finding IP address automatically to the manual option (then, type in IP address indicated above).
7. Open Internet Explorer (you'll get an error page) and type in http://192.168.0.30. You'll get the D-Link setup page.
8. Under the Wireless Tab, input the Linksys LAN Mac address and WEP encryption key. Save your changes by clicking Apply.
9. Under the Admin tab, upload the version 1.9 firmware. Save your changes by clicking Apply.
10. Unplug D-Link from power outlet and from router. Keep unplugged for 30 seconds.
11. Go back into the Network Connections page (under Control Panel) and reset the configuration of your TCP/IP connection to find IP address automatically. Unplug your computer from router.
12. Move D-Link and computer to where you want to set them up (I suggest 50 feet away). Plug in D-Link into power outlet (discard ethernet cable).
13. On your computer, open up your wireless configuration utility and remove any pre-existing preferred wireless connections. Hit refresh 4-5 times. Go into wireless tab and uncheck WEP encryption key automatically saved and retype your WEP encryption key manually.
14. Enjoy your dramtically-improved wireless range.

D-Link DWL-7100AP Wireless Access Point w/SNMP, 802.11a/g, 108Mbps Review

D-Link DWL-7100AP Wireless Access Point w/SNMP, 802.11a/g, 108Mbps
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It had the latest firmware and wireless protocols installed, and the web-based configuration interface has well organized pages of setup options. The Help pages are actually helpful. As with any networking device it is good to be a little familiar with TCP/IP so you can handle minor annoyances like giving your computer a temporary static IP address in the same subnet range as the DWL-7100AP so you can communicate with it during configuration (This is explained in the manual). Afterwards, I was able to change my computer back to dynamic IP addressing, and still access the configuration pages of the DWL-7100AP. It will work just fine right out of the box with default settings, but as with any wireless access point, better security can be had by creating your own SSID name, disabling broadcast of the SSID, changing the default user ID and password, using MAC filtering so that only your computers will be accepted by the access point, and enabling data encryption. The DWL-7100AP allows you to use two kinds of WPA encryption, which is much more secure than WEP. I highly recommend this product and it's well-written manual. Some users report having their connection dropped frequently. I found that interference from 2.4 Gigahertz portable telephones in my house was the culprit for dropped connections on the 802.11g band, which is in the same frequency band as the phones. Since I switched to the 802.11a band (5 Gigahertz) I very seldom have dropped connections from the DWL-7100AP.

NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card - Network adapter - CardBus - 802.11b, 802.11g Review

NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card - Network adapter - CardBus - 802.11b, 802.11g
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Due to the nature of my work, I have used several types of these 54Mbps wireless cards. The only 2 Wireless Homenetworking I recommend to others is either D-Link or Netgear.
I personally am using a 54Mbps wireless WG111 USB adaptor on my PC plus 2 others in the house.
In addition I use the Neatgear 54Mbps Wireless Card (WG511) for my older Dell laptop. I have used these adaptors for over a year and have not had to replace them, or have had any problem with their peformance.
I have installed hundreds of these for customers. It does come with software for the drivers, AND comes with a NETGEAR PROGRAM that overides windows. I never use the program personally. I just use the CD for the drivers, after insert the adaptor. It also comes with the software updates for vista.
I found that as long as you have a Wireless Netgear Modem, it never seems to have any problems with 128bit encryption or 64bit (which is what I mostly use)
The biggest reason for any Netgear adaptor 128 or 64 bit is 1st) If you use install and use the NETGEAR PROGRAM, then the best way to avoid internet drop off, is to enter you 64 or 128 bit encryption password on the first page of the progam IN THE MANUAL SLOT and not the 2 slots for above! Trust me I know.
2nd) If you plug the adaptor in, and then insert the CD just for the drivers (when prompted) WITHOUT using Netgears program, then you have to set internet options to set LAN and check "automatic" and leave proxy settings alone. Then right click on the little wireless pic in your tray, and select "status" then "properties". From there at the top box scroll down to TCP/IP and click properties and make sure "automatic is checked" The click close and click the middle tab. If there is more than 1 network in your area or in that box, remove them all, except yours. Then make sure to check the box "let windows configure my wireless settings for me" and on the last tab check the box "automatically connect to this network when in range" After that click okay, and close. It may start to try and connect right then, or you can right click on the little wireless computer in tray and select "view wireless networks" and you will see your there, click connect and it will prompt you for you password, twice and thats it. You don't have to type in the password any more. Everytime you turn on your computer, it will automatically detect settings and connect you to your wireless internet network.
It sounds like a lot, but it really is simple and will prevent internet drop off tremendously!
I setup networks for a living and years ago, I used to pull my hair out sometimes, until I finally found out what works the best, regardless of number of networks, users or 64 and 128 encyrption. If the router is setup correctly and you install Neatgear wireless usb or card, you will be very happy. I have moved and used the same USB and CARD for my laptop with 3 dirrent networks, and all I did was set it up with the new password and it is working as of now.
Hope this helps

Belkin N1 Wireless Notebook Card Review

Belkin N1 Wireless Notebook Card
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this Belkin N1 Notebook Card because I had also bought the Belkin N1 Wireless Router. My thinking was that by matching the two, I would maximize my wireless performance. But, to my surprise, performance isn't significantly better than that of my wife's HP laptop which came with Wireless G support. If this was the only issue, I would be OK with the product. However, I have been a bit frustrated with its other problems. The card has problems recovering from situations where the laptop goes into standby mode and windows goes into hybernation. When the laptop resumes windows operation, the card is stuck and does not resume operation (both of the blue lights on the card are on solid). In some situations this can totally hang the laptop and there is no recourse but to power down the laptop and reboot it from scratch. In other situations, I have been able to disable and re-enable the network connection associated with the card and things recover. At any rate, it is a pain either way. I'm surprised Belkin has not addressed this obvious software defect... some basic functional testing would have easily found this problem. I have also seen a few times where my laptop has hung while cruising the internet since installing this card... I think there has been others that have reported this issue too.
I have been using this card for about a month now.

US Robotics USR5441 Wireless MAXg Range Extender Review

US Robotics USR5441 Wireless MAXg Range Extender
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was a little worried when I bought this extender, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got it set up and working. Installation is pretty straight forward and the best part is that it will work with non-USRobotics Access Points (like my Asus WL-500g Deluxe). Be aware that not all extenders (like the Linksys) will work with APs that aren't from the same manufacturer. I was having a problem getting signal to a new Squeeze box located on a different floor but adding this little box did the trick.
One note on the install: if your AP is set not to broadcast it's SSID (usually not set by default), you might have a problem finding it even if you enter its MAC address into the extender's configuration. I simply re-enabled the SSID broadcast, found the AP, configured the extender and then disabled SSID broadcast again.

Hercules Wifi N Mini USB Key Review

Hercules Wifi N Mini USB Key
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought this because of the "N" speed and sitting near my router it is nearly as fast as my wired connection (speakeasy.net). However, where I am using it upstairs, it is useless. I believe the reason is that it is so small that it has no antenna length no matter how many times they wrap it around the unit internally. My larger "G" USB unit works fine (I was hoping for a speed increase)but this one just can't cut it. Gave it 3 stars anyway because if you are close to the source, then it's fine. Also, software installed flawlessly and worked well with XP and Windows 7.

Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Dual Band Gigabit Router & Access Point Review

Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Dual Band Gigabit Router and Access Point
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am an itinerant collector of wireless N routers - not intentionally, but because EVERY other wireless N router simply fails to deliver. Either the wireless has no range, needs constant re-booting and actually FALLS APART (D-Link) or it has slow router connections and its performance slowly fades away (Linksys) until it finally dies. To date, the best of the lot have been the Belkin Pre-N routers, although wireless throughput is not close to what is advertised.
When I saw this router at Fry's, I bought it (for more than Amazon charges) and figured I could return it if it did not perform.
This router is amazing. To start, the new installation protocols it supports made installation a snap. I inputed my static ip info and had an internet connection literally in seconds, a FIRST for me. The router connections are FAST, 10/100/1000 FAST. Its wireless coverage is superb. It reaches all of my various wireless connections (both g and n) and connects at 100mb+ speeds. While I do not use this particular function, the router allows for configuring specific gaming ports for maximum gaming performance. It also supports all the new security protocols and can be configured as a straight access point for existing network use.
While this wireless router is far from inexpensive, its ease of use and setup as well as performance makes it a screaming bargain.

This card has been flawlessley for four months now. Preformance is very pleasing. A little stronger signal strength than most usb dongles that I've used. Plugged in the card, ran the installation software, and was up and running in about five minutes on my XP laptop. Around the house, I am able to get good signal strength
a few rooms away from the router. While out and about, I am able to achieve good connections from some distance. Haven't had any problems connecting to open networks, or on a secure network when using a password. This was not my experience with other devices.
Don't think you can go wrong with this device.

Don't waste you money. This antenna was actually worse than the 3dbi antenna from the factory. I even tried 2 more in case I got a bad antenna. They definatley don't live up to their claim. We lost 3dbi when they were in use!! Buy something else you will be glad you did.

Cisco-Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A/G Media Center Extender WMCE54AG Review

Cisco-Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A/G Media Center Extender WMCE54AG
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like this product. I really like Media Center 2005. But more than anything else, I LOVE the IDEA of this product -- a networked device that helps unite the living room to the home office, giving you one place to put your pictures, videos, and music. This is a great generation one product. I can't wait to see what the next couple of generations bring.
That said, here are the things to be aware of when purchasing:
1) You need to know (or find someone to help you who knows) the basic fundamentals of home networking and Windows. This is not a completely plug and play installation.
2) You must have a very strong network connection between your Media Center 2005 device and your Media Center Extender. Ideally, you would have a wired connection (i.e., using old fashion cables). But I use the Wireless-G option and it works great now -- but I had to spend a good deal of time tuning the placement of my wireless router to ensure optimal connectivity between PC and Extender.
3) Be aware: TV content labeled as Copy Protected will not play on the Media Center Extender. For me, this means one very bad thing -- I can't watch 99% of the shows on HBO on the Extender. This is very disappointing for our family, because we enjoy HBO and actually use the Extender on our main TV in the house (with the Media Center 2005 PC in our home office). Pay TV channels are the only area we have had problems with this, though, so if you don't need to watch these channels on the TV where you are putting the extender, don't worry about it.
4) There are a few other things you can do on the Media Center PC that you can't do on the extender. Mainly for me--the extender can't play content on your Media Center PC DVD drive (I get around this by first burning the DVD to my hard-drive using a product called Pocket DVD -- a perfect solution to put my son's frequently watched kid movies in a place that's easily accessible).
Overall, if you already have Media Center 2005 -- buy this product--it's really cool to have a central hub for all this content with multiple TVs hanging off it.
If you don't already have Media Center 2005, and are considering it -- I recommend it. But be forewarned that it's still what I would call an "early adopter" solution. Be prepared for a few stumbles and bumps -- but it's sure to wow your techie buddies.

U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg ADSL2+ Gateway (USR9108) Review

U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg ADSL2+ Gateway (USR9108)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this router after tossing my Netgear DGN1000 in the trash. The wireless connections have been very reliable with this router and it has maintained a super-reliable DSL connection with AT&T. There are only two things about the router that caused me to knock a star off - the DSL credentials have to entered through the software that is installed on the computer (it can't be updated through the web interface) and the web interface refreshes a bit too often. The credentials issue would not have been an issue had I not entered the wrong password during initial setup.
All in all, this is a great combination product.
