Customer Review: Buying this item solved my networking problem
Summary: 5 Stars
My problems started when I was trying to create a new wireless network at a neighbor's place. I bought a new Linksys router and installed it, but couldn't get my 2002 laptop to connect. Actually, it connected once or twice for a minute and that was it. The weird thing was, the laptop connected fine to my old (2004) Linksys router at my place.
So I moved the old router to my neighbor's place, brought the new router home, and spent an entire weekend screwing around with it. Despite excellent technical support from Linksys (the main reason I buy Linksys products to begin with), I wasn't able to get my old laptop to connect to the new router.
At first I thought the problem was with the new router. I even drove all the way back to Walmart, returned it, and bought a different model (I returned a B router and bought a new G router). Unfortunately, after uninstalling all the software for the B router, and reinstalling everything for the G router, my laptop still wouldn't connect to the network.
But then, on a lark, I fired up my old Windows 1998 computer just to see what would happen (I hadn't booted it up in years). To my amazement, that old clunker, with a 2002 USB Linksys wireless adapter, connected to the new Linksys router just fine.
That little miracle allowed me to narrow down the source of my problem to the laptop itself. What really threw me in all of this was the fact that the laptop still connected to my old Linksys router. So, I got online and bought this new WPC54GX4 card (and for an amazingly affordable price let me add).
After it arrived, I plugged it into my computer and at first it wouldn't connect to the network. I was like, "Dammit, guess I'll use it for a hockey puck". Then, all of a sudden "Waa-laa!", the card connected!!!
It has been working fine ever since and all of my networking problems are solved for now.
Description of Cisco-Linksys WPC54GX4 Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX 400
Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX 400 Wireless-G for your notebook with SRX technology provides up to 10 times faster wireless network throughput, reduces dead spots, and increases wireless range by up to 3 times. Also fully compatible with all public and private Wireless-G and Wireless-B networks. The Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX400 is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your notebook computer. Just slide it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility. The Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX400 combines smart antenna technology with standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. By overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, the "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G. With SRX, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get, and SRX400 works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipDigital Cameras and Photo Categories
