Overpriced, decent card

Pros Good range and speed, consistent connection.
Cons Price, sticks out a little further than I'd like.
Recommended it? Yes
My router (an SMC 802.11G router) is on the third floor and I'm using this card in my notebook on the first floor and I get 7-8 out of 8 "dots" on the signal strength meter and consistently connect at 54 Mbps. The utility that comes with the card is also decent, though I wish it would automatically switch to different profiles in different locations the way the IBM one on my ThinkPad does.

I haven't had the chance to compare this card to other "Super G" or "Pre N" hardware but I do get a better connection with it than with some other B and G hardware I've used.

I think the price is quite high but I use this card around campus a lot and I'm hoping the MIMO will allow me to get a connection where other cards won't. If I get the chance to test some other cards to compare I'll update my review.

I noticed some quite bad reviews of this card but I've had no trouble with mine and don't regret choosing this one.
