Description:

Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country - but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also work with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment. The Wireless-G Notebook Adapter from Linksys has both standards built in, so you can connect your notebook to existing 802.11b infrastructure, and also the screaming fast Wireless-G networks. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step. Then just slide it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy network access with your notebook computer, while retaining true mobility.Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network, wherever you wander. At home, you can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio. You'll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public wireless hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention centers. And as those hotspots upgrade to the high-speed Wireless-G standard, you'll be ready to take advantage of the increased speeds. Get connected to current-standard 802.11b networks today, and be prepared for the future with the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter from Linksys.

Features:
  • Operates in the 2.4 Ghz frequency spectrum with speeds up to 54 Mbps

  • Complies with IEEE 802.11g draft standards, and is backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11b products

  • 32-bit CardBus Interface

5Linksys wireless g card  Jun 09, 2007
By W. A. Lardin "uwillie"
This item is one in a long line of wireless cards from Linksys. It comes with good documentation and software, is easy to install and works right away. I bought it to be able to use WPA-PSK and it can handle that up to 63 characters. I am using it with an IBM T-23 laptop, and it works just like advertised.

5Great Product  Mar 30, 2008
By D. Golub
This product works great, I've had it for a couple of months, and it has worked as described. No problems. I have Windows XP, and an older lap top (2002?). Works great.

4Works Well With My Linksys Wireless Router  Dec 04, 2007
By D. Childs
It took awhile, but I was successful getting this wireless adapter to work in my old Windows 98SE IBM ThinkPad. The software is nicely compatable with my Linksys wireless router so I was able to use WAP encription instead of WEP (which is so easy to hack these days). The very small antenna on this PCMCIA card is sufficient to pick up a good signal anywhere in our 2 story home. (My wireless router is in the basement.)

1You may save $50 or ...  Dec 23, 2008
By John Wakerly "traveling techie"
... you may just be throwing $11 plus shipping and hours of your time down a rat hole. I bought a "retail box" version of this adapter from Amazon last week for about $20. After installing it in my IBM Thinkpad laptop, I found that the laptop would no longer go into standby (sleep) with the adapter present. Further on-line investigation suggests that the Linksys driver does not properly implement Microsoft's NDIS driver standard in the area of device power control, and hence blocks the standby operation.

Linksys' driver for the device I bought (WRT54G, v3) was last updated over two years ago, although a search shows that numerous other purchasers of this device been have complained about this problem, as well as the ineffectiveness of Linksys customer service. As a retired Cisco exec, I am truly ashamed of the shoddy quality of this device software.

5Works like a charm.  Feb 19, 2008
By K. Campbell "Kevin"
I purchased this card for use in an older Toshiba laptop computer. I was easily able to setup the card and all worked well. It is relatively fast and has been trouble free for about a month now. At the price, I strongly recommend this card.
