Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys WMP54GS Wireless-G PCI Card with SpeedBooster
Customer Review: Well worth the purchase!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card along with the linksys Wireless-G router with speedbooster and i am impressed. The card found the router easily, and set up was simple with no problems. My computer connected wirelessly shows internet speeds at or near equal to my hard wired desktop. I cannot speak for people who own other brands and those that want to get different wireless networking equipment to work with multiple brands, but i do suggest that people buy the same brand name for all components of their wireless network. Again, I am impressed and amazed, and I promote this product highly.Customer Review: Piece of cake

I am not sure why there seems to be a love/hate relationship with this card, but it worked fine for me. I bought the card to replace a D-link card. This card installed easily and configured quickly. Only issue was with Symantec's Personal Firewall which prevented me from connecting to the internet. Once I "allowed" that, connected immediatley. My signal improved from 55% to the low 80% range. Like others have said (and the instructions), run the CD BEFORE you install it. I had used Dlink for years but have found much better results with linksys and will never go back.Customer Review: You get what you pay for.

When I bought this product I had the Linksys router to go along with it on another computer and this wireless card was receiving the signal not even 20 feet away on the same floor, and the signal is only about 66 percent which is horrible, the only thing that helps is the speedbooster but not enough to pay extra for it. This card loses connection constantly, even when I am not on the internet, the signal is horrible and the card itself is flimsy looking. My advice is to get something a little more expensive and spare yourself the personal anguish of this product.Customer Review: it is not the best Wireless Card...

You get what you pay for. Speed boost is not working and only with compatible router. The signal reception strength is so poor. i have my notebook's wifi card doing better job than this wireless card with same distance from the AP/Router.
Do you want wireless; you get it... performance .. yes it is wireless and can remove the wire in your premises
If you are not expecting more than 50 feet, use this one or else go for other type of adaptors.. use a USB one would be better than these PCI cards... I will never buy a PCI type card anymore..
Customer Review: Watch out for System Requirements
