THE Best, Bar None.......2004-05-27

By far the best wireless card I've seen in use. I get signals well outside the range of any of my friends and colleagues. Driver support in virtually any OS and its also supported by NetStumbler for wardriving or general network detection. I'd recommend scrapping the software it comes with, and just using the WiFi capabilities of your OS, if they offer them. Also has support for an external antenna, to further extend your effective signal reception. I don't see myself using any WiFi cards aside from the Orinoco series.

Zero set up time.......2003-06-27

I bought the card, put it in my XP Professional and it worked, no fuss, no muss. I can even attach an extension antenna to it. I doubt it makes much difference in range, but it looks very geeky and I like that.

Terrible card.......2003-06-22

The software for this card is the worst. I noticed in another review someone had good luck running it with a D-Link 614+ router, I could never get it to connect. Maybe it's a Windows 98 issue but there is no conflict with card as far as 98 goes. Even the software that came with the card indicates it is working properly. I've tried everything including changing TCP/IP settings directly and the card will not connect with the 614+. Tech support is about a joke. After fighting with this card for hours I went and got a Microsoft USB and it ran 5 minutes out of the box.

Easy to install, works immediately.......2003-06-16

I recently purchased Dell Inspiron 5100 notebook and LinkSys wireless access point router BEFW11S4 with intention to build a simple network of two computers (one wireless and one direct line). Connected the router with my desktop computer first, followed setup instructions (router manual) and got connected to the Internet in no time (have Motorola cable modem SB4200). After that, I connected the Inspiron (direct cable to the router), run network Wizard in Win XP and established connection between both computers and Internet. As the last step, I installed the Orinoco software, disconnected Inspiron and router and inserted Orinoco Gold card into Inspiron. Again, using Network Connection option in XP, computer practically connected itself to the network and I was able to share both Internet connection and files/printer accross the house. Haven't tried 128 bit encryption yet. After more then a month, network works just fine with the all above components. This card is great.

No dropped signals, Very good buy.......2003-05-18

Its reviews made me to buy this one and it is really a good buy and an excellent product. I hardly have any dropped signals and range too is very good. Easy setup and nice software bundle.

TechForLess Orinoco 11a/b/g Gold ComboCard 8480-WD.......2005-09-01

I knew this was an excellent product when I first saw come out about 2-3 years ago; and had my heart set on it when I'd need a Wi-Fi card. No real problems have arisen with it, just a little snafew with the vendor, Tech For Less. They originally sent me an Orinoco 11b USB Gold Wi-Fi adapter. They did rectify the situation rapidly though; by the following Wed. I had the correct product. However, I had to send the wrong one back with RTS label they setup for me. All is well now.

Just too cool!.......2003-12-29

I got this wireless card based on the recommendation of a friend after I lost my other card. I am VERY happy with it. The configuration is very easy and quick, and the client utility is very well laid out for finding new networks and setting up profiles to save the configuration settings. One word of advice... the version of the client utility that comes with the card is not the latest one. Go to their website and download the 2.4.2.14 version to get the very latest in software and driver. Highly recommened...

The best combo card I found.......2003-01-20

This is definitely the better 802.11a/b combocard I found. Before buying this one, I had bought a Dlink combo and a Netgear combo. Both sucked big time with the Dlink being the worse. I then decided to try the Orinoco based on the reputation of the 802.11b model. Well, it works flawlessly. It's expensive but well worth the price, in my opinion and experience.
