Router works, card only infrequently, May 16, 2003
By unknown
I had no problem with the router set up and using the wired connections works fine. The card will only work infrequntly. Once it has acquired a connection it works great, but I haven't been able to predict when it will decide to connect. I too have messed about with all the parameters. It seems that you need to change something on the router (anything) and that might get the router and the card to talk. I have a Windows 2000 laptop.

WPC11 version 4 does not work with Linux yet, May 14, 2003
By dan (Nebraska)
I have this package. I have been trying to get it working in Linux for the past 4 days. After installing 3 different distros, i still am not able to get the pcmcia working. From what it looks like, this new version has a new chipset from the previous versions, and it is not being recognized at the moment.If you're running Linux and want a Linksys wireless product, then go for the seperate items, and get the WPC11 version 3 PCMCIA card. At least that works. Otherwise, you could wait for an update. Just my $.02.

Works Great, May 14, 2003
By sungal38 (Rolling Meadows, IL United States)
I previously bought the D-link wireless set and could not get it to work. I had nothing but problems. I returned both items. I just bought the linksys network kit with the wireless router and notebook card. I hooked everything up and was very pleased everything worked immediately and I didn't have a single problem. I am able to go throughout my entire house and outside in the yard and be connected to the internet. I occasionally get a dropped connection but that is not a problem as far as I'm concerned. I think the linksys wireless is the best.

wireless access point connection drops packets- unreliable, May 10, 2003
By mebsrajwani (Markham, ON Canada)
I have 2 notebook adapters and a PC card. The PC installation was difficult in getting the drivers to work. For the first 2 months I had no problems. I am having constant problems having days they work and on other days it doesn't. I tried Pinging and I can see sometimes it sends the packets and receives none.
I believe from reading on the internet it has to do with the firmware. I am no expert in wireless devices but these were not my expectations of this product. Neither did Linksys send me my rebate having called them five times.

Have fun trying to get wireless connections to work..., May 6, 2003
By Robert M. Bailey (Clearwater, FL United States)
I recommended to one of my friends that they buy this product. They wanted to share an internet connection and the Linksys products I use and have installed for other people in the past have been great. Installation was a snap but we could not get the wireless device to be able to access the internet. The desktop PC plugged into the router with a cable worked, but not the wireless device. After 4 hours of trying all different types of things, downloading updated drivers, and two calls to Linksys support, I returned this. I bought the separate router and separate PC card, installed it and had it working in 10 minutes. The PC card in this bundle is marked as version 4 and the one we purchased separate was a version 3 card. Not sure what the deal is but I couldn't get this product to work with a Windows 2000 laptop.
