Pros: Excellent packaging and it looks great.

Cons: Doesn’t connect reliably with Non-Linksys APs. Grade C-.

Install

Very simple.  CD installs the regular Linksys Wireless Wizard application.  I have a Linksys Wireless-G PC Card installed on the same laptop, so I removed the card. After Install I now have 2 wireless wizards, I guess thats OK.

 Issues

After rebooting I connect at 160Mbps to my NETGEAR Wireless-N DualBand AP, but I am unable to obtain an IP Address.  I reboot again, this time connect at 1Mbps, and get an IP. Continued reboots don’t change the connect speed.

2nd Floor Office Testing

While showing me connected at 1Mbps, My RxTest app is showing 6.4Mbps. Something must be wrong  the driver. I will check for updates post and try again later.  Note: My standard wireless-G PC card gets 20Mbps in this location.
