The problem was not solved and they said to call Linksys who informed us that our Warranty was up (we knew that).Right now we see Netgear working (service stinks.)., and Linksys has worked but.what to do. However, the Dell Desktop using this Linksys Wireless-G cannot connect to the Internet. Spoke with the Netgear folks, they DO NOT speak English very well - that was fun and time-consuming. O.k. Anyone have this issue. Recently our Apple AirPort router died, so we replaced it with a Netgear "N" Router. for three years this product has worked. This router is working fine for two of our home computers (both Apples).
Has worked like a charm ever since. It couldn't have been any simpler. Popped it in the machine, turned it on, found the wireless network and set up the security.
I'd recommend this device to friends. The hardware and software are both easy to install and work fine. I bought this card a couple of weeks ago, and since then have had it installed in two different desktops. It has worked fine in each application.
DO NOT INSTALL the software.The software eats up memory, refuses to turn off, would not uninstall (even in safe mode), randomly lost network connection (even though it said it was fine), and resulted in many other problems in the registry and network devices.Good work Linksys, or Cisco. The card works but DO NOT INSTALL the software that comes with it.Install the care (machine off) turn it on and let windows do its thing. If it needs a driver put the CD in and point it to the driver.
These campanies make each product so simple to install and the software that comes with there products are amazing, so is the quality. I will recommend D-link and NET GEAR. but those to are getting made with poor quality also.
Linksys over the years has been doing a terrible job on all of there products. (The blue screen of death) I will never recommend or buy another linksys network card again. As a field technician of my own corporation.
There routers are O.K. Hope this helps. Very terrible quality and compatibility.
I recently bought quite of few of these wireless N and G network cards for customers and hand hardware errors after install.
