 Flawless Install December 30, 2008
Though I am experienced with home wireless networks for laptops, the use of desktop wireless is new to me. Currently, I have two laptops (1 Vista and 1 XP) that are wireless and an XP desktop using Ethernet. Due to a need to rearrange the room that has the desktop, I decided to try wireless. This intsallation was easy - took about 10 minutes max. I also replaced a failing router with a Linksys WRT160N at the same time. The router is upstairs and the desktop is downstairs and I receive a consistently strong signal. For the novice, I think the instructions are a bit vague regarding the choice of using the MSI utility or Windows to manage the card and whether the MSI software is really needed at all. However, even the MSI utility is straight forward. For the price, I highly recommend this card.
Works Great! December 29, 2008
I had a Linksys wireless receiver that was not compatible with Vista, so after upgrading my computer, I found this on Amazon and based on reviews, decided to give it a shot. Worked wonderful right out of the box, and signal strength is excellent! Works like a champ, and easy to install. Highly recommend if you need a Vista compatible connection to your wireless router.
EXCELLENT signal stength on Vista SP1 and Ubuntu 8.04 December 27, 2008
I just installed this in my desktop the other day and set everything up with Vista SP1 and Xubuntu 8.04.1. I first tested it out with Xubuntu 8.04.1 and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the wireless works out of the box. In fact, I get a much stronger wireless signal with this card than I do on my laptop's built-in wireless.
I noticed that the box says it's designed for Windows XP, so I used my connection on Xubuntu to locate Vista drivers on MSI's website, and once I copied the Vista driver to my Vista partition (I run dual-boot Vista and Xubuntu), I logged on to Vista SP1 and installed the driver, and everything works.
This is an awesome product. If you use XP, Vista, or Linux (particulary Ubuntu or any Ubuntu derivative), this product will work like a charm. This product has brought new life to my desktop. In fact, I removed my dial-up modem from my desktop because with this wifi card, I no longer need dial-up.
The setup couldn't be simpler! December 26, 2008
I recently set up this wireless card for a relative, and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly and smoothly the entire process went. It was probably the simplest hardware upgrade I've ever done.
Upon receiving the package, I panicked for a moment when I noticed the PC was a slim form-factor Dell. Obviously the card wouldn't fit in that case because the back plate would be too big. Luckily for me, and very thoughtful of MSI, this wireless card has removable back plates and it even includes a slim one just for this case! If you're interested, it also includes an even smaller one, probably for microATX cases, for a total of 3 plates. Very handy.
What followed was me getting my Philips screwdriver, replacing the back plate on the card, opening the computer case, inserting the card and closing everything up. Then I attached the included antenna, hooked everything back up and booted into Vista Home Basic SP1. At this point I have to mention I previously made sure to download the updated drivers from MSI's site and have them ready before I installed the card. Windows promptly asked me for the drivers, I pointed the installer to the right location, and off it went. IIRC, I believe the drivers were WHQL signed (someone correct me if I'm wrong), which is always a reassuring thing that at least these specific drivers should not crash your system.
And that was it. The card provided the computer with full 802.11g speeds and a 100% signal to a Netgear WGR614v6 AP, through several rooms and walls apart. Needless to say, I was browsing the web in no time.
In conclusion, it was a pleasure setting this up, and I haven't had any complaints whatsoever since (2+ months now).
I have nothing bad to say about this product. It has plenty of features and accessories, installation is a breeze, great performer, Vista compatible, and best of all, the price is right. I wasn't a big fan of MSI before, having had so-so experiences with their motherboards, but this has certainly made me reconsider them in all my computer purchases from now on.
Highly recommended.
works great with my windows xp desktop December 19, 2008
Works great. Been using it for few months, no interruptions caused by this so far.
I get the same max download/upload speed that I get through my wired connection through this (12 MBits/sec download 2 MBits/sec upload).
The only thing i dislike is that the antenna is attached via a cable to the card, so you have an extra cable around your PC.
