Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Because 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, and 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?

Customer Reviews:

Good for the price.......2007-02-02

This has served my wireless network needs very well for the price. Unfortunately, this device does not support WPA encryption (even though the firmware update notes say it does) so I cannot use it on many newer wireless access points or routers. If you are still using 64-128 bit WEP encryption, as I am, this will work just fine, but be prepared for issues with newer routers.

best value for the money.......2007-01-12

simple excellet. easy to install and much more chipper than other cards

Perfect for the internet cafe.......2006-10-10

This PCMCIA card isn't the fanciest or quickest wireless adapter around, but it is a reliable performer that will connect with just about any wifi system out there. Installation is quick and easy. Sometimes more basic can be better.

Great price and reliable hardware.......2006-09-08

We had compared prices and for the $9.99 price it was a good deal. Easy to install in minutes and works great on multiple machines with no problems. Highly recommend.

No Clutter.......2006-08-31

Great, now I don't need a 25 foot COX cable to hook up my internet. Best of all eveything is now in a network, desktop, printer,laptop. Easy set up as long as you read directions. Mine was a little tricky because my laptop is old and is a Windows 98SE system, so had to make a setup disk, but not a problem. I bought Linksey WUSB11(desktop), WRT54G(Modem), WPC11(laptop).
