No Pain installation, works perfectly, September 9, 2002
By unknown
This is a perfect unit as part of your home wireless system. This was the easiest install I had in a long time. I purchased this card together with 3Com wireless OfficeConnect Gateway. The installation process took less than 10 minutes.

Positives;

- Very easy install
- Low packet loss
- Works well in brick house with many interfering signals (Microwave, cabling...)

Not so good:

- Thirsty. Using the PC Card with my laptop made my battery life decrease by 50% (worse than even a normal modem)
- Short product support (30 days...)
- Range not so good.
