If you are looking to set up a wireless network in your home i strongly recommend this wireless card.
It uses wireless G technology as well as being backwards compatible with wireless B products. Because of wireless G it will run at network speeds of up to 54mbps. It will also work with wireless stuff by other manufaturers. Mine is linked to a Linksys access point and i have had no problems.
Thanks to it being plug and play It is easy to install. Especially if you've installed cards into your pc yourself before. Evenif you havent it comes witha set of easy instructions to installing it, which i had to use. I had never installed a card into my pc before and i installed this with ease.
It comes with instructions, software and a small antenna as shown in the image. The software is basic and easy to use aswell.
The only problem is the antenna that it comes with. Unless the other computer its linked to is quite close you may have problems. So i would recommend getting the external antenna (belkin F5D6900). Improves the signal by loads.
It is compatible with Windows 98 second addition or higher. Although i have heard that you may have some difficulties on Windows 98 second edition.
A little extra note is it supports up to 128bit WEP security.
I would have given it 5 stars if it had a better antenna

A good start, but, as you'll find out, you'll need to be more thorough with your reviews. Could a normal person use the instructions, for example, is there a support number... However, good review!
