Belkin Wireless Express Card N1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Cisco-Linksys WEC600N Dual Band Wireless-N Ultra RangePlus Expresscard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My late 2008 unibody Macbook Pro recently lost the Airport card to a glass of water. Before forking over $1400 for a hefty tier 4 repair (AppleCare doesn't cover water damage), I decided to feel out my options for add on WiFi cards.
Initially my experience was horrible, after going through both the MX Nubbin and Dlink USB adapters which claimed to work with Mac OS X I decided to give up. Not that either of the aforementioned products are bad, they are just not quite ready for prime-time when it comes to Mac OS X support (especially Snow Leopard support). Both the Dlink and MX Nubbin used the same Ralink based chipset which has immature Snow Leopard support via software (ie, no WPA Enterprise support, which is a killer for me because I need to connect to corporate WiFi).
Before giving up and forking over the $$$ to Apple Repair, I decided to try to find something which could make use of my ExpressCard slot. To be candid, it's one of those slots on my MBP I didn't plan on ever using. Boy, was I wrong!
I bought this adapter, plugged it in, and instantly Airport lit up! Cautiously optimistic, I joined my WPA Enterprise network and had no issue. I was ecstatic. The card only sticks out about 1.2 inches. I then went home and tried to join my WPA2-PSK network, no problems there either. Full native Airport support, I'm not sure what else one could want...no need to deal with 3rd party driver software! Yay! Actually, double yay.
Wrt to the overheating, I've been rsync'ing a large directory for 49 minutes (sustained @ 40mbit/sec) and:
1) I have not experienced disconnects
2) The card is not warm at all. In fact, the "better battery life" GPU is warmer than anything around my ExpressCard slot.
Summary: I cannot speak to the experience of Windows users with this card but it's been near perfect in Snow Leopard for me.
