Good value and it works.

Cannot be faulted really. I am using it on a W2K machine, the included software to set it up is fool proof. I suppose Win XP wireless management could support the card but I have not been able to try.
I live in a small house so distance is not a problem, 10 metres from the router downstairs I get 90% strength and no drop outs.

Great Product

Superb wireless card - just ran the installation CD and connected the card. The setup wizard makes the process very simple and easy. My notebook is now connected to my DG834 (Netgear) router and is showing a signal strength of 80% through two walls! Much better than my previous Buffalo wireless card. Service from Dabs still remains top class - placed order at 6pm the previous day and was despatched at 8! Fantastic service and a great product.

Ace card! Simple to set up and 100% reliable. Probably not as good coverage as newer stuff but if you need a cheap reliable solution it works just fine.
