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: Fragile
Summary: 1 Stars
The dongle is extremely fragile. I've broken two so far. The technical support is terrrible. Netgear has had "unexpected high call volume" for months. I spent 4 hours on hold for them to confirm what I already knew (it was broken and I needed a new card). Frustrating.Customer Review: FA-510 Installs Easily
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Great card with a poor plug
Summary: 4 Stars
The coupler (ACC-017-015 FA410) plug that mates to the card is easily broken. Torque transmitted from the RJ45 end of the coupler eventually breaks the plug. Otherwise this is a great little card. Just make sure you know where to find a supply of couplers!
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.
