Digital camera reviews of 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Adapter
Digital camera Review: Better than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the card for my HP SFF XP computer that I put in our bedroom as a media center computer. Most of the time, I have trouble with accessing the router in my home office since there is a chimney in the way, and I usually lose a bit of signal strength on my laptop. This wireless card worked will. Installation wasn't too bad, but through trial and error, realized I needed to install the drivers first. After that, the card worked well. Documentation is minimal at best, but just keep in mind to install the drivers, then the card.
I don't know if this is a common thing among these cards, but I like the fact that the antenna is removable, allowing me to add a high-gain or wired antenna to increase range if needed.
I do recommend this card and would buy another if I needed one.

Bought this card for one of my desktop. Installation was easy but the card freezed my computer during boot-up. I e-mailed customer service but they were not helpful so I return the card. Total waste of time. Beware buyers, unless you have the newest system the card won't work. If you search online you will find out that many people had the same problem.Digital camera Review: Driver issues, but a good card for the price

I ordered the Zonet Wireless PCI card for about $15, so I wasn't expecting much in terms functionality or performance. Trying to install drivers from the CD was a hassle seeing as how they DID NOT WORK. On the Zonet website I followed the step-by-step instructions, uninstalled the drivers from the CD, then reinstalled drivers from the site. After that the card worked great. Although some of you may have to enable "SSID broadcast" and "Wireless Radio" through your router settings in order to get the card to see and connect to your home network.
