Cannot recommend this product.......2003-11-25

Usually, I am a big proponent of buying the lowest priced product when it comes to commodity networking devices like NICs. However, I cannot recommend this product if you have Windows XP. Not only did the thing not work after I installed the drivers, but the mere installation of the drivers wreaked havoc on my Windows Services, somehow deleting my NetLogon keys. I'll have to rebuild my machine because of this cheap device.

It's a shame that the US Robotics brand has gone so far downhill.

High failure rate.......2003-10-17

I purchased 7 USR wireless products almost a year ago, USR2410 (PC Card) and USR2415 (PC Card with PCI adapter). Within the first 4 months, 2 failed and in the past 2 months, 2 more failed. The failure seems to occur in the PC card itself (USR2410). I had a problem returning the first card, but each subsequent return has been uneventful. While USR seems to provide support, this doesn't fare well for cost of ownership and reflects poorly on the quality of these products. I've since switched to D-Link and have been much happier!

Use Netgear MA401 driver with this USR2410.......2003-08-02

This card works great only if you use Netgear MA401 driver! I am using this card on Windows95B. Drivers/Software on the CD doesn't work well. I downloaded the latest driver from USR website but still didn't work. I downloaded Netgear MA401 driver and installed it. And now, it works perfectly! :) This card should work w/ Win95B, 98,98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Linux!! Thanks Netgear! lol :)

Use Netgear MA401 driver. It works!.......2003-06-19

After downloading Netgear MA401driver and install it, as told in one of the former reviews, the card works now!

I found the old driver was OK when connecting in Adhoc mode, but not in Infrastructure mode( with a wireless router or access point). I've tried the 1.3.3 version driver from usr.com, updated firmware, and tried some other compatible driver, all failed.

It did give me lots of hassle. I combated with the card for a week. But considering I got this card for almost FAR ( bought last November), I think I should rate this card as 4 stars

Excellent range, good signal strength, works well with Linux.......2003-01-26

Excellent product. Much better range than Linksys WPC11. Shows much better signal strength than WPC11 at the same location. Took me all the time that it took me to plug it in to my laptop for it to work. I was using WPC11 previously (a Prism2 card), running Linux on my laptop, and since the USR 2410 uses the same chipset, I have the drivers configured already!
