Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of NETGEAR FA510 32-bit CardBus Moble Adapter (10/100 Mbps)
Customer Review: Turned out to be big dissapointment
Summary: 1 Stars
After about a month of good work the card died without any visible reason. Windows continued to see the card correctly, but it kept saying that network cable is disconnected.Indeed, the lights on the dongle were out, as well as the lights on the router. I tried different cables, but it did not help. I sent the card to NetGear for replacement.
I got another card. It worked fine for a week and then began to show bad contact between the dongle and the card. I needed to adjust the dongle in its slot slightly in order to make it work. Slight movement caused the contact to stop.
In both cases the dongle was physically intact, and I handled it with care. I did not expose it to extreme pressures or to dirty environments.
I gave it up and ordered LinkSys PCM200 card with integrated connector - no more dongles!
Customer Review: Not a good choice after all...
Summary: 2 Stars
This card works better than Linksys NP100 (has compatibility issues with other Linksys products, can you believe it?) that is I have not experienced any incompatibility with other network cards in my house with things come with the package. This card should have gotten five stars, except there is a major problem with this product - IT WILL NOT WORK with my home-made RJ-45 cables! NOTE: It will only work with the "RJ-45" cable that comes with it. So do be aware of what you are getting into before buying it! Get a 3Com 10/100 card is definitely the way, no incompatibility and no cabling issue.Customer Review: Worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed an NIC for college so I could hook up to my campus network. This one looked like the best value out there, so I sprung for it. Installation was a breeze on my laptop, and I connected to the network at school with no problems at all. So far, internet access has been uninterrupted, and the card itself is pretty sturdy. It's a shade more expensive than you're liable to find elsewhere on Amazon, but I consider it worth the price.Customer Review: Come on folks.. lets get the specs right
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, fine. I'm the first to admit that I'm not a tech head. That's why I always do my best to match product specs with the system I am buying for. After doing this to the best of my ability it was annoying to realize that this card did not fit into the PCMCIA slots on either of my 4 year old laptops. The company provided specs need to be more straight forward.Customer Review: FA-510 Installs Easily

This device almost fell into my system by itself. I have a Compaq Presario 12XL310 with Windows ME. The software detected and installed the card automatically. I was online to my LAN in far less than 5 minutes. Although they are all somewhat fragile, the "dongle" seems nice quality.
