Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys WMP54GS Wireless-G PCI Card with SpeedBooster
Customer Review: Mixed Results
Summary: 3 Stars
I initially bought this wireless card for use on my old system that was running on an American Megatrends motherboard with a 2.0 Ghz. CPU and 1024 MB of memory. Out of the box it worked sporadically until I downloaded the updated drivers. Then it worked fine.
Upgraded my computer in the meantime to a Pentium IV 3.0 Ghz. processor with HT technology. Disaster!! Got nothing but crash after crash in the middle of heavy downloads. Particularly with P2P file sharing programs, I had nothing but disconnects, system shut downs or halts.
Rebuilt a computer for a friend and installed the linksys pci card so that I could access the internet with the new computer and update it. Had no problems whatsoever. No crashes, not halts, but would lose the connection every now and then and have to use the Linksys utility to re-establish the connection. Other than that I ran my friends computer for several days and experienced almost no problems.
Uninstalled the PCI card from the friend's computer and delivered their computer running like a champ.
Re-installed the wireles-g PCI card on my newly built computer again and back to the same problem. Crash, crash, crash. Thought the problem might be the motherboard so looked for new BIOS. None available because the one I have is the most current. Called Abit tech support to check if they knew of any incompatibility with the linksys card and Abit motherboards. According to them they received no reports of incompatiblity and the card should work just fine. Not true.
As of this posting I still have not been able to resolve the problem. My conclusion at this point is based on the three computers I have installed the card on; My old computer, my new computer and the one I built for my friend. On the first and the third everything seems to work out fine. On the second, my new computer, I will keep plugging away and try to find a solution. Obviously there is no one to turn to for help (at least not at Linksys tech support). I now believe that the problem could only be one thing, the wireless-g PCI card. Now I'll have to go out and by a new card when I just bought this one a few weeks ago. Can't return it and no one knows how to solve the problem so I will have to buy another motherboard or a new wireless card in hopes that they will be compatible.
Hope this review gets through considering its length but my advice is to keep your receipts when buying a linksys product. It is hit and miss. You can have an experience like I had with my friend's computer and have no gliches at all. Or you can be in my predicament and have to put up with a faulty product until you can afford to buy a replacement for it.
