I'm a married man with 2 children. I have a love for computers and gadgets. I work from home and travel extensively. I like to thoroughly research anything before I buy it.

I needed this card to connect a pc to my wireless network at home. I have a D Link DSLwireless router. Setting up the card in a machine running Windows 98 wasnt too difficult, and I had it working in about an hour. The network was already set up, as it had been ethernet cabled before.
After a few months, the card started intermittently losing the connection. As I was replacing the pc before long, I lived with it, but when I took the card out to put in the new pc I noticed that the aerial was loose, the build quality is very poor, and the fine copper thread had stripped, it was only held by one thread it seems.
I fixed the card as best I could, and fitted it into the new pc running Windows XP. For some reason, it will not now save the WEP encryption key, so every time the machine is booted up, this has to be reinserted again.
Altogether I am not impressed with this card.
