Whether you're at your desk or in the boardroom, the Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC card allows you to share printers, files, and more anywhere within your wireless LAN infrastructure, increasing your productivity and keeping you in touch.

The Instant Wireless card gives you the freedom to work your way, from where you want--letting you take full advantage of your notebook PC's portability while providing you with access to all your network resources. A high-powered built-in diversity antenna means that you're covered--at a distance of up to 150 meters (492 feet) inside and 500 meters (1,640 feet) outside. And because it occupies only one Type II PCMCIA slot, you're free to use your other slots for additional accessories.

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?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use.

Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. 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:

802.11b
802.11a
802.11g

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).

I looked hard for a PCMCIA card that supports Win98. I installed it on an old Toshiba CDS25. I worked right out of the box (after installing a driver). Now I have an adequate wireless internet terminal.

Rare solution for older laptops.......2006-10-31

It's almost impossible to find a 16bit PCMCIA 802.11x card with modest system requirements- this one runs beautifully on my disposable 150mhz laptop. I'd tried unsuccessfully to use similar products from D-Link, etc. (which are difficult to find in any case), but the 300mhz system requirement for those cards left them inoperative on my fine vintage laptop. This one does the job.

Product Description

Package Contents: TurboTenna 007GT antenna 1 unit 6FT RF cable with connectors 1 unit Tripod stand 1 unit Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S PCMCIA card 1 unit User guide 1 unit Practical Advise: The Wardriving package is intended for road warriors who drive around looking for hotspots and wireless networks. Most WiFi devices available in the market offer a gain of 15dBm (or 25mW), which could do a pretty good job if you are close to an access point nearby, but hardly capably of maintaining a wireless connection from blocks away or sometimes even just opposite the road. The TurboTenna 007GT is a +12dBi directional antenna with a beam width of 30 degrees capable of picking up the WiFi signals from a remote spot. You may scan the signals by slowly changing the beaming direction until you capture the cluster of SSID with the strongest and stable signals. The lower diagram shows that 23 SSIDs were captured by the TurboTenna at channels 1, 4, 5 , 6, 10 and 11, an excellent accomplishment for a low-cost high performance antenna. The green SSID indicates a pretty good signal strength for stable connection; yellow gets a bit speed bump yet still stable; both orange and grey are borderline that needs a bit of steering to get a working connection. If your Centrino laptop or PCMCIA adapter does not support an external antenna, don't worry! The Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S 54/ 125MHz* High Speed Mode PCMCIA card is one of the few in the market that does, and it works as good as the 802.11b Orinoco Gold card with a TurboTenna 007GT but runs faster on its 54/125MHz High Speed Mode. The Wardriving package consists of a TurboTenna 007GT with a tripod, a Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S 802.11b/g PCMCIA card and a 6Ft LMR-100A RF cable. Other sizes and types of pigtails and RF cables are available. Setup is simple, you can install the Buffalo card to your laptop

Customer Reviews:

Great buy for use in variety of situations!.......2007-04-26

I recently bought this product and found it very useful. The overall setup and assembly is easy. The user guides are easy to read and understand. The claim of the 12db gain is accurate and with proper tweaking of the BUFFALO wireless PMCIA adapter you can further improve your wireless signals overall.

Software was easy to install and begin using right away. However, the wireless client manager software is not supported by windows Vista! So, it was a bit frustrating trying to utilize the kit on that platform. But on XP the system performs flawlessly in returning an excellent connection from your wireless access point. I was able to pull in multiple AP's and SSID's within a couple mile radius just from the directional orientation of the antenna.

The adapter cable that goes from the antenna to the PMCIA card is a little short. But for on-the-go use and mobility with a laptop the employment of the kit is just right. Hands down... I give this package two thumbs up.

Critique.......2004-05-10

This card is functional if you are completely new to wireless technology and do not plan on using encryption. It installs fine under Microsoft Windows 9x, ME, XP Pro, and NT. However, there were a number of problems with this card.

One: Linux drivers that work with this card are extremely hard to come by. The only way you are going to make this card work under Linux is either by getting extremely lucky and finding some support or getting the rare linux distro that has the card supported by default.

Two: The GUI for the card that runs under windows is a horrible system hog, takes forever to get commands through, and keeps getting blocked by my firewall when it tries to contact microsoft.com. Shutdown the monitor program and all this goes away.

Three: The card itself is inefficient. Running at maximum power it still has horrible range. The maximum distance I got out of this card was 27.2m from the hub. In comparison, the other card I have (a Linksys USB 801b) gets a range of 52.1m.

In all, the only reason I would recommend this card is if you want to set up a hassle-free wireless network unders microsoft windows, and you don't mind sacrificing everything to expediency.

Works great and very affordable!!.......2004-02-06

I bought this card as a combo with the wireless-B broadband router for about $80 - great deal. It worked great right out of the box. Took about 2 minutes to setup and it gets a strong signal through a few rooms. I don't use the WEP security features but it works great just to get on the internet. Highly recommended for basic internet use.

Not worth the trouble.......2003-04-18

I tried 3 brands of wireless cards, and the only one I had trouble with was the network everywhere NWP11B. The card would not connect to three different networks. Got a warranty replacement, and the second card will sometimes connect.

This card is missing an important feature - you can't set the WEP encryption key using a passphrase. Better brands will let you use ASCII text, (your dog's name or some other phrase) to generate the 64 or 128 bit key. Even with the new firmware, this card requires you to translate the passphrase into hexadecimal, and then type in a 26 digit number. Twice.
This is not fun, especially because the card often will not connect, and you will be typing this number in over and over.
Unless you are good at memorizing 26 digit hexadecimal numbers, buy something else.
