I bought this and it’s an ok wireless card. Trendnet, Repaired it due to a faulty chip. I since gave it to my brother and it works fine. Do not use the CD for Windows Vista. The driver will install automatically.

Easy to install and worked flawlessly on Windows XP system. I was surprised at how good the signal strength is. This card is located in a computer in the basement. Wireless router is on the first floor. Signal strength is constantly 96-100%. Glad I bought two of them. Thanks Tiger

Installed one of these in a Dell Dimensioin running XP, the install disk didn’t work correctly, so uninstalled the disk and set it up manually using the drivers for xp on the cd. The thing works great, delivers what it says, just like Tiger Direct. I recommend this card to anyone needing inexpensive connectivity to a wifi network.

Can’t go wrong for the money, especially with the $10 rebate I received. Been running this card on a XP SP2 system for months without issues. No crashes, errors, or complaints from my end! Not compatible with Vista, but in no way means the card is ”junk”.
