Electronics : Airlink Wireless-G 802.11g Cardbus Notebook adapter |
- Great Product for the Price$PROS::
* Good price. I picked one up new for $19.00
* Drivers installed easily
* Easy to configure under Windows XP
* Works with Ubuntu Linux out of the box
* Performance was not outstanding but very acceptable for most applications. I was able to get a signal pretty much everywhere that I can get an signal using more expensive cards from Dell and Buffalo wireless.
CONS::
* No external antenna adapter (not applicable to most users)
* Documentation on the website is a little weak.
* If you do go to the website it is hard to tell which model of card you are using. This seems to be a common theme for Alink+ products across the boards. I also have used an Airlink+101 router; good luck finding the model numbers on any of these products if you don't have the box handy.
OVERALL:
If all you want to do is get the wireless networks at home, at the library or in most coffee shops, then you really can't go wrong with the Airlink+ 802.11g Wireless CardBus Adapter; especially for the price.
If you work with Linux or you have a tendency to tinker with this setting or that setting and are really into customization, then you may want to go with something that is a little more robust.
Geek Gage: If you have any of the following at home then you will probably want to look for a little more robust card:
* A domain controller
* A Linux Router
* Two Wireless Routers that are connected to each other
