Works OK with XP,

This review is from: TRENDnet TEW-423PI 54Mbps Wireless G PCI Adapter (Personal Computers)
Works OK with XP; could not get it to work with Vista, although Vista drivers are included.Included antenna is very weak. Reception improved a lot after it was replaced with a TRENDnet TEW-AI75OB. Range with the included antenna is about 30 feet, and it is very sensitive to placement. I had to move the PC and the wifi router around a lot to get a good signal. I would recommend this for someone who had Windows XP and a PC that was not far from their router.

This PCI card works good. I did not like the program needed to properly use this card but once installed it works great.

As Good (or Better) Than Cards at Twice the Price,
By M. S. Broadbent - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: TRENDnet TEW-423PI 54Mbps Wireless G PCI Adapter (Personal Computers)
I have multiple PCs linked to a wireless router and have used 54Mbps network card from Dlink, Netgear, Belkin, Microsoft and now TRENDnet. All of the cards were about $20, though the TRENDnet card is the only one that didn't require submitting a rebate form (and with my Dlink purchase, I missed the submission date on a $30 rebate so that one cost me $50).The Netgear and Belkin cards were terrible (weak signal, dropped connections) and I ended up returning them. The Dlink and Microsoft cards on the other hand worked fine, though the initial install wasn't without some aggravation. I was planning to get another Dlink card for my latest purchase simply because I have a Dlink router but I couldn't find the card for less than $30 (after rebate) which is why I decided to give TRENDnet a try. I'd never heard of the company before, but the reviews from users were mostly positive and the price was great. Well, I installed the card 2 days ago and it's been working flawlessly. Some reviewers had install issues and many mentioned problems with the drivers on the disk, but I didn't experience any issues at all - NONE! I loaded the connection management software, turned off the PC, popped in the card, turned on the PC, loaded the drivers from the disk, restarted the PC and I was done. It took less than 10 minutes and has been working perfectly. As soon as I restarted the PC it connected to my network. All I had to do was enter the security code using the connection software. It now connects automatically every time and hasn't lost or dropped the signal once. This PC is in a finished basement office with the wireless access point on the 1st floor about 30 feet (2 walls and a floor) away, and the signal strength has been very good to excellent. I was planning to update the drivers, but everything is working so smoothly right now I don't think I'll bother (why mess with a good thing?). Based on my experience, I would highly recommend this card. I'm fixing up an old PC for my daughter and will definitely be ordering another TRENDnet card. It works well and it's cheap which is a great (and rare) combination. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful

Excellent card and worth the money,

This review is from: TRENDnet TEW-423PI 54Mbps Wireless G PCI Adapter (Personal Computers)
Pros:- Inexpensive - Good warranty - Easy to install and configure - Superlative reception with no drop-offs - Works in a plethora of operating systems Cons: - My system won't let me have this card and a wired NIC at the same time, but I think this may be a flaw in the Windows OS 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Incredibly poor quality!,
By MK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: TRENDnet TEW-423PI 54Mbps Wireless G PCI Adapter (Personal Computers)
The Trendnet TEW-432PI (B1 build) is an incredibly poor quality piece of hardware. I have tried multiple methods to get it to maintain a consistent signal or at least stay connected to my router (which is less than 25 feet away through a wall) more than 10 minutes to no avail. I have tried to use the latest drivers, use the bundled software, change my router's channel signal, use WCZ to override the bundled software and connect via Windows XP's own methods, etc. and nothing has managed to get this card to work.It is completely unreliable, and technical support is absolutely worthless and rude. I would rather pay 5x the price and buy something reliable. Don't waste your time, or even the small amount of money you will spend to pull your hair out and end up returning this wireless adapter. 0 stars for a terrible experience. |
