(More customer reviews)This card was a quick install in my HP Media Center PC with a PCI-to-ExpressCard adapter. I wanted my PC to have built-in N wireless and thought it would be more flexible to have an ExpressCard adapter instead of just a wireless PCI card.
At first I really liked this card. When it was connected it had a fast connection and the signal strength was fine. After a while, it seemed to run hot, but I figured as long as it was still connecting to my Belkin router it didn't matter. About a month or so after I bought it I noticed I would lose my Internet or home network connection quite often. When I held the cursor over the wireless network icon in the task bar, it would say the speed was 24.0 Mbps or 12.0 Mbps or even 0.0 Mbps. Normally, I would be getting G speed of 54.0 Mbps since my old router did not have N speed (up to 300Mbps).
It began to seem as if the card was slowly shutting down even when I was active on the PC itself. I will say it rarely dropped to 0 while I was actively cruising the Internet, but I could never find any settings to ensure the card didn't go into "sleep" mode. Of course, this may have been a result of the heat generated, but I didn't think it was worth calling tech support to investigate a seventy-dollar card so I sold this card and plan to buy a USB wireless N adapter instead. Maybe this card would work better in a laptop's ExpressCard slot?
