Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WPC300N Wireless-N Notebook Adapter
Digital camera Review: Come on Linksys!
Summary: 2 Stars
Works great for a while then fails. When it works it works great. When it stops, it's a joke. Can't even get a 1 mbps connection. Linksys customer service knows this happens. They must not want to address it.Digital camera Review: DNW with HP dv1000

I upgraded both my B router and B pcmcia card for my ASUS laptop to N. The router Linksys WRT300N did not work till I upgrated the firmware. The original driver for Linksys WPC300N (April 2006) got me connected to router and network, but could not browse. Switched back to B card and waited till new driver was available. Even after the new driver (July 2006) was loaded still not working. I am back on B card till Linksys debugs this one.Digital camera Review: Did not work on my laptop

Recently purchased the Linksys WPC300N pcmcia card for my Toshiba laptop. The software installed without a hitch. The Linksys Monitor software tells me the computer is connected to a network, but the internet could not be accessed. I tried to log into an encrypted network with any old password and the Monitor software shows that the computer is part of that network. When I tried to check for available connections from the network connection icon (the little computers icon), there was no network available (hmmm, two different software telling me two different things).
Called tech support and got some guy with a thick Indian accent (understandable, there are a lot of Indian Techs in America). The minute I told him the model number, he quickly told me the "n" technology is outside his area of expertise and transferred to another tech.
The second Tech came on the line and, yep, you guessed it, he also has a thick Indian accent: I've just called India for tech support; not that anything is wrong with that, except I could only understand every third words coming from this guys mouth.
To make the long story short, he had me go through everything that I have already gone through by myself. In the end, he finally told me that "this is a known issue with their card" and he needed my email address so he can send me a new driver for the card. Isn't this the biggest CATCH 22, ever? I can not get on the Net and the only cure is to download a new driver from the Net. WOOOOOOW!!!!
Digital camera Review: Do NOT buy this wireless adapter - has a LOT of problems with connectivity, etc.
Summary: 1 Stars
I do NOT recommend anyone buying this card. I received this wireless network adapter yesterday and I am in the process of returning it today. Originally, I bought this card because it supports WPA2 Security. I needed this in order to connect to certain networks at work. My current wireless adapter is a DLINK DWL-G650 that works well but it does not allow me to connect to networks with the WPA2 security system.
Although I spent several hours installing and re-installing the software, downloading upgrade drivers and researching the internet, this card has repeatedly failed to maintain connectivity to my network. The card also caused my computer to freeze up several times. This required several re-boots. With the upgraded drivers, I was able to stop the computer freezes but the card would get disconnected from the network. Also, the maximum speed for this card was 48.0 Mbps while my old DLINK-DWL-G650 allowed a maximum of 54.0 Mbps.
In the end, I gave up on this card and wish I had never ordered it. P.S. I use the Windows XP operating system.
