Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WPC300N Wireless-N Notebook Adapter
Digital camera Review: Fair Performance for cheap price
Summary: 3 Stars
I' running a lenovo 3000 N100 with .windows vista business.This device complements the one still coming with the manufacturer which is a well known Intel PRO/wireless3945ABG.I didn't find any tech support to operate this adapter at optimal conditions.Digital camera Review: Fast but range is questionable
Summary: 3 Stars
This wireless-N adapter is very easy to install. It is as plug and play as you get. It connects well with my Linksys N router. It also connects easily at public hot spots. The speed seems to be the same as my other N adapters when close to the router. When I use it at the other end of my house, it gets only 3 bars when my Dell internal adapter gets all 5. My Dell internal uses 3 antennas built in around the monitor so to compare may be unfair. All in all a decent adapter for plug and play. I would buy it again as an add on.Digital camera Review: Gets the job done for great price
Summary: 4 Stars
My old G notebook adapter just was not working that well with my new N router and was not catching a strong signal in my two story house. I got this linksys N adapter brand new in box in three days and was able to install the software and have it up and running with full strength in less than 10 minutes.
Still not as fast downloading as with being connected directly to the cable wire, but still much quicker than my old adapter. And for my occasional browsing of the web and or download of video or music, this gets the job done nicely.
Digital camera Review: Good and iffy on WinXP and Linux
Summary: 3 Stars
The CD install blew up - installing through Windows worked. There are no Linux drivers and this is a Broadcom chipset card AFAIK ... Dual boot users note that I am still searching but ndiswrapper has been suggested as a Linux solution.
This is a fine replacement for the internal card on my laptop, but it is not directly compatible with Linux. That's the bottom line.
WinXP is still on my system and saving my butt.
Digital camera Review: Got it working with OpenSUSE 11.2
Summary: 4 Stars
It took trying 5 other drivers to get it lit up, but finally did w/ndiswrapper. Works solid. Using wep 128.
