See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies. | Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Because they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, and airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use. Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.
For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time: To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart. |

 Highly reliable, easy to setup. June 8, 2008
Title says it all. Linksys/Cisco is also great for providing driver and bios updates for their devices, so I highly recommend Linksys adapters and routers.
Excellent January 18, 2008
I donno if this is the best in the market but go for it if its still cheap. I use it with my 7 yr old 'monster' Dell laptop. Works perfect.

This unit worked as advertised but short on distance. I have 98 SE and this unit was the only one that worked for me. I tried others but 98 would not run them. I'm satisified with the results but wish it had more range.
 Works with Linux! August 29, 2006

It's not without a little pain, but it does work. You have to pull down the Windows driver for the card, then use your distro's 'ndiswrapper' to emulate the Windows driver to the Linux OS. With that done, it works just dandy.
On top of that, it's a nice card. Whatever, it works. Nothing special, but worthy of a positive review.
