Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys by Cisco LNE100TX EtherFast 10/100 LAN CardCustomer Review: Card works perfectly Summary: 5 Stars
Because of a delay with my DSL account setup, I was given the card by my ISP for no charge. I installed it and had it working within five minutes with absolutely no problems on my Win98 machine. My download speeds have been fine. The only change that I have made was to switched the included CAT5 cable with the newer CAT5e(or is it "A", i can't remember offhand)and gained a significant increase in download speed. Just as in any other product market, consumers have been brainwashed to believe that big names and higher prices = better quality. Prior to getting DSL, the two 33.6k and later two 56k modems I bought for my two computers have all been small name brands. I never had a single problem with any one of them and I also bought each for about $30 dollars cheaper than say a 3Com or a motorola. My parents on the other hand have a computer that had a 3com modem in it that fried. Go figure. I also think that many average home users that buy these products have limited know-how when it comes to installing and configuring these products. And just because someone tells you they are an IT expert doesn't mean they really are or that they know as much as they think they do. This I have learned through extensive experience in dealing with several of my clients' IT people. For less than twenty bucks, buy the card. Use common sense while installing it and unless you happen to get a defective card (which even 3com has put on a store shelf)you shouldn't have any problems. And if you do, don't assume automatically that it's the card. In many cases it's probably Windows itself. Call your ISP with internet problems; call you computer tech support about computer problems.
