Customer Review: Awesome, easy, and XP friendly!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't tell you how pleased I was when I fired up the Belkin F5D6130 (coupled with a Belkin PCMCIA card for my Gateway notebook) and it worked!!! Even more impressive, was the fact that it took me less than ten minutes to do it (no lie). This Belkin wireless access point was added to an already existing network running through a LINKSYS Cable Router/Firewall>>DLink Hub. I was a little nervous about the whole process after reading some of the nightmare stories regarding DLink and Linksys solutions. I have to say that my worries were all for nothing.
The access point is running on a 98SE machine while the PCMCIA card is running on an XP notebook. The first thing I did, even before plugging anything in, was to visit Belkin's site and download the latest drivers. I believe this really helped as I never even had to touch the CD's that came with the box-NOTE:the manuals don't even MENTION XP!!!
I am very impressed with the distance and range I am getting from the AP/Wireless card. On a whim, I threw a pair of shoes on and carried my notebook out to the van in the driveway...sitting in the driver's seat, I was in awe to find that I could surf Amazon's site with little to no loss of speed! Incredible! (Bear in mind that all of the windows in the house were open due to the weather being hot, but STILL!!!!)
All in all - I couldn't be more impressed with the Belkin products...hope you find this info helpful.
