    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Strong signal -- No problem with MSN Messenger

    Weaknesses: Somewhat complicated with setting up.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this new wireless router to replace the old one. Actually, I need only wireless router but this set came to my attention because of its price. I think I got this one at a reasonable price given that I would be able to get the rebate from CompUSA! At first, it seems to have a problem with driver installation. My laptop is running with Windows XP. I am unsure what I did wrong but I asked my friend who knows more technical than I to help. He reinstalled and set up for me. Right now it is working quite well. Its signal is pretty strong. I used to use TrendNet wireless router before. Sometime TrendNet's signal seemed too low. Also, it has a problem when running with MSN Messenger. I got disconnected several times when I used MSN Messenger. With the new Linksys router, it works well so far and I do not seem to have any problem with it. I like it!

    Strengths: easy to install or re boot

    Weaknesses: doesnt link to available network some times

    Overall Evaluation: This is a good wirelss combo pack and I am glad I bought it. This kit reasonably priced when I bought it. I liked the easy installation. It is easy to use and does not require a high level of techie expertise to install, use or troubleshoot.I am pretty much happy with the card and router as of now. It appears like the card does not link to the available network some times but does link when notebook is restarted. However, it is a good product.

    Strengths: Good price

    Weaknesses: The network is still not too stable

    Overall Evaluation: We got this G network set for an very bargain price of $35 Very happy for the purchsae. After plug in and install all spes. I figure that the network is not so stable. Sometime it 's need take a while for my PC to find the G network. Everything else is good..

    Strengths: Notebook card works very well with other wireless routers but not the one it came with.

    Weaknesses: Wireless connection keeps dropping, no matter how far my computer is away from the router!

    Overall Evaluation: This is a bundle of two products with huge difference of quality. The notebook card works well with other wireless routers. But the router keeps dropping the wireless connection the first day I started to use it.I'd recommend buying the router and card separately and not trying to get some bundle such as this. It may cost a little more, but in the long run it will save you money. Again, don't buy it!
