WMP55AG review, May 21, 2007
By G. Slade (UK)
I am a third line commercial network administrator and my cousin asked me to come over and install the wmp55ag card after it had stopped working. Apparently she thought some update had disabled it. I spent at least two hours trying to get the thing working with an 802.11b network downstairs
which it refused to associate with although it said it could on the box. I could see all the networks in the area but could not get an ip address or connect to any of them even though the one I needed to connect to was unsecured. I uninstalled the linksys software and tried using windows to control the card, still nada. In my opinion the card is a waste of time and money, or the one I had was broken after three weeks of use.

Awesome Wireless Solution, December 14, 2006
By Tech Guru (San Diego, CA)
This card was very easy to install and setup. Just follow the easy instructions! It makes me laugh at some people who think it's the technology's fault for it not working. If you just took the time to actually read the directions you might get it to work. This product works great on the 802.11a band on my Linksys Wireless Dual-Band A+G Router.

Inconsistent Connection, September 6, 2005
By William Kimbler (Duluth, MN USA)
Bottom line, did not live up to expectations and price. Kept getting disconnected and did not get good signal when compared to other Linksys wireless devices I have (PCMCIA Card and Wireless USB Network Adapter). I am a big fan of Linksys, but I would pass on this device.

Wireless on the Desktop, January 21, 2005
By java_ned (Eldersburg, Maryland United States)
I just recently move from dial-up to DSL. Going DSL was not enough; I did not want to have cables running though the house so I started looking into going wireless. To make a long story short, after a little investigation I decided to make the leap into wireless technology. I purchased the WAP55AG router and the adapter cards, WMP55AG and WPC55AG.
Once the WAP55AG router was installed and set up, the installation of the WMP55AG PCI Adapter on each of the desktops were simple.
I had no difficulty setting up the hardware and software and with a few hours, I was on the net through the router. One desktop is running XP professional and the other desktops are running XP Home edition.
The LinkSys Web site has all the documentation you need for installation and setup. There is a "Knowledge Base" page that covers a lot of the products and answers to a lot of questions about various products and configurations; I found it to be very helpful.
Pulled from LinkSys Web Site:

The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G PCI Adapter installs in most desktops and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running network cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail; access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network.
