    1 out of 5 stars Fed up with Bait and Switch.......2007-03-16

    Even though this network card works amazingly well when everything is configured properly and it's a great bargain, Belkin is doing everything within its power to make you buy the N card and router instead. The day the Belkin N router was introduced at my local Staples and Bestbuy stores last year, the Pre-N cards and router mysteriously disappeared from the shelves and no one could explain why. Now Vista has been out for months, yet Belkin is still unable/unwilling to deliver Vista compatible drivers for most of the older Pre-N cards. All you get is a "coming soon" note on their web site with the implied message that they hope you run out of patience with your old, useless Pre-N network card and upgrade to N.

    1 out of 5 stars Not Vista Compatible.......2007-03-11

    I was disappointed to learn this card won't work with Windows Vista. I bought the router + card together in hopes of getting broader coverage even though it isn't fully standards-compliant ("Pre-N"). I contacted support about the issue and they sent me instructions that didn't work out. Might be a good product for WindowsXP, but for my purposes I rate it 1 star.

    4 out of 5 stars Performs as respresented.......2007-01-24

    5 out of 5 stars Great range and speed.......2007-01-13

    Bought the pre-n to replace a malfunctioning 802-11b system. I am very impressed with the speed and range. Well worth the price!
