User Reviews:
Absolute zero!!! This company should go out of business
This card is garbage. It works when it wants to. Sometimes it connects, other times it either won't connect under any circumstances short of pulling out the power of the router...then waiting until it is reinitialized. When that happens it connects at random speeds and continues to fall under total failure occurs. Not ever have I had such an annoying problem with a wireless card. I even went out of my way to spend a lil bit more for what I thought was a better quality card. I am extremely disappointed, really! I now have the cheapest wireless g-pci card I could find, and that one works flawlessly. Shame on TRENDnet for selling this rubbish!
Poor Quality
I sent this card back the day after I got it. First of all, the enclosed software would not install properly on my XP machine. Perhaps I got a bad copy of the CD. Seems unlikely. I ended-up running the card straight through windows but the speed fluctuated and was constantly slow. Calling customer service was a waste of time. No phone number is given in the manual so I had to go online using my laptop and get it. I waited on hold for more than half an hour and finally gave up. I was attracted to this product by the price and other users seem to have success with it. I did not. My advise, don't gamble on this one, spend a little more money, and get a quality product.
Bargain price for a great wireless card
This item works great with just the Realtek driver. The Trendnet software is cumbersome. I installed with just the driver and let Windows manage the card. I would buy again.
Great card
Installed the card, no problems. Picked up signal about 800 feet from wireless router. Amazon was great, A+++++++++
Has a horrible transfer rate
For some reason it has a excellent connection but a transfer rate of 5.5 mbps and it kept dropping connections. I have a crummy laptop next to it that gets a better signal and strength then this card. I tried playing games on the internet with this and it contently dropped my signal. And no its not my router everything else i own is fine.
