Darenty

Strengths: Works great and is running in Wireless N mode. Range is much better than my old Wireless G card.

Weaknesses: none

Summary: My last system had a Linksys SpeedBooster G card with a 7dbi rubber duck style antenna and would get 1-2 bars of signal strength when connecting to my AP (a Linksys SpeedBooster G with dual 7dbi antennas). When I started using my new system in the same room I immediatly got 3-4 bars with this card. After I upgraded my AP to the D-Link DIR-665 draft N I started seeing 4-5 bars or signal.

Great product.

Strengths: Easy to install. No issues. Happy to find it here. Cheapest price on Cost Central from anywhere else.

Weaknesses: My own fault because I haven't updated my router yet so it is only but only connecting at 56 Mbps

Summary: I recommend this to anyone as it frees up another PCI slot on my motherboard
