1 Worthless scrap of metal
Stay far, far away from this one. Card refuses to authenticate on my small home network. Have tried mulitple security settings on my router to try to fix this. Each time, other wireless PCs can connect - all except the one with THIS wireless card.

Was able to connect ONCE, after endless attempts. Connection lasted a good week, then dropped. Have been unable to reconnect since. Card will frequently [though not always] make a strong connection to the network - but even when it does, it refuses to authenticate the connection, no matter what settings or protocol [WEP or WPA]. Customer support is a joke.

Other danger signs - Drivers are two years old for this product ... the 'update' on the Belkin website is dated more recently, but the drivers provided with the 'update' are the same as the old ones that ship with the CD in the box with the card [makes one wonder what was actually updated..?]

Save yourself the loss of sleep and the added frustration ... AVOID this Belkin wireless card, even if it is on sale dirt cheap. It's not worth it if it doesn't work.

2 Stay away from this piece of junk
I bought this card because I thought I would save a few dollars compared to cards from more reputable brands. But this card is a piece of junk. I am experienced with wireless networks and have installed many such cards before. The software/drivers are nests of bugs. The range of the card is pathetic. Stay away from this.

3 Great product!

4 Works with my crazy home network
I'm using two of these cards, one in a Windows 98 SE system and one in a Windows XP system, to top it off they all go through an Apple Airport Base station and link with my Apple iBook. Using WEP, too, with the hex key produced by the Base station. Working fine!

5 Awful Awful Awful
Awful. Not fully compatible with Windows XP. Once a day I need to COMPLETELY Uninstall/Reinstall (both hardware and software). This card is horrible. Support is almost nonexistent. D-Link cards, though a little pricier, are of MUCH MUCH higher quality. Stay away from this trash.

FORTUNE'S GUIDE TO DEALING WITH REAL-LIFE SCIENCE FICTION: #2

What to do...

    if you get a phone call from Mars:

	Speak slowly and be sure to enunciate your words properly.  Limit

	your vocabulary to simple words.  Try to determine if you are

	speaking to someone in a leadership capacity, or an ordinary citizen.



    if he, she or it doesn't speak English?

	Hang up.  There's no sense in trying to learn Martian over the phone.

	If your Martian really had something important to say to you, he, she

	or it would have taken the trouble to learn the language before

	calling.



    if you get a phone call from Jupiter?

	Explain to your caller, politely but firmly, that being from Jupiter,

	he, she or it is not "life as we know it".  Try to terminate the

	conversation as soon as possible.  It will not profit you, and the

	charges may have been reversed.
