Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Linksys WMP54GS Wireless-G PCI Card with SpeedBooster
Customer Review: Works Great on a windows 7 machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I added this to new windows 7 PC expecting to have to do some work to make this work. As soon as the computer booted up it saw the card and loaded the drivers automatically and fond my wireless networks. It works out of the box on windows7!
Customer Review: Thoroughly adequate
Summary: 3 Stars
Good price and quick ship from Deal Barn.
I don't think (but don't quote me) that the Boost thing works on Vista / Win7. Just XP/2K, according to one of the blurbs on the box.
Like another reviewer or two mentioned, I got a number of exceptions and crappy, non-working installs using the included CD and the Linksys instructions. So I just uninstalled the whole damn thing, removed the driver, turned things back on and let Win7 figure it out. And everything worked fine. I wish I had done that the first time.
Net - perfectly good hardware, supported in Windows better than by the proprietary driver / network manager. Not an -n card, but only $20. Works better than my Dell 1450 USB piece of junk adapter that it is replacing.
Customer Review: Wow, piece of junk

This card is really bad, i missed up my computer made it very slow. Couldn't make it work at all till i removed the software that came with it and let window manage the wireless connection but now my computer is very very slow it take about 10 minutes to start. Save yourself the trouble and buy a different brand. Customer Review: Great customer service

Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this card to use in a desktop computer that used to be connected via ethernet. I could not get the card to work on Windows XP. I was told by the Linksys rep that the card was defective and to send it back (at my expense) for a warranty replacement, which I did. By the way, their policy is that if they don't receive the original card back within 20 days, they will bill you full retail price for the card. If they receive the card after they have billed you, they will NOT refund your money; only ship the defective card back to you at your expense. I received my replacement card yesterday, and it too fails to connect to the internet. I called Linksys tech support AGAIN (fourth call) and was told that there is no point in troubleshooting the card since it is having "the same problem" as the other card, and that I need to pay $30 (more than I paid for the card) to troubleshoot my Linksys router -- which is working just fine, thank you, with any card but Linksys. When I insisted that she at least make an effort to troubleshoot this card, she instructed me to unseat and reseat the card. At that point, I gave up. I have done multiple internet searches on this problem, and learned that the people who have solved this problem to their satisfaction did so by returning this card and buying one from a competent manufacturer, which is what I plan to do. GRRR!!!
