I bought this for my desktop and have a wireless router for my home network. My connection seems to drop in the middle of my internet sessions, even though i'm in the same room as my router.

A Very Good High Performance WiFi PCI Adapter

byjurassicpizza Nov 22, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros High speed 108mpbs with a RangeMax wireless router. Reliable until it freezes my system.
Cons Buggy software and drivers, system instability.
