Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Notebook Adapter
Digital camera Review: Didn't work at first--frustrationville!
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received this adapter and installed it almost without any problems. The instructions in the booklet for inserting the card were different from the software--one said to turn off your computer. I tried it without turning it off and it worked (sort of). After completing the installation I still didn't have an interent or networking connection and the signal strenght was poor. (We have a Linksys wireless router--about five feet away).
After going through the help screen in the utility menu about four times--it was no help. I finally figured out that it needed the ssid--it didn't detect it automatically (like the usb version does). To make a long story short--I finally manually inputted the ssid and after tinkering a little more it worked.
