My laptop went online immediately, but the work horse, my desk top, kept loosing the signal (both OS is Vista). The one from M.S. For three frustrating weeks I tried everything. So I ordered the card from Amazon.I received it a few days ago, installed it, and immediately saw four green signal bars suddenly appear (four out of four). My wifi card was a Belkin (good products), but for some reason it couldn't hold the signal. I was dropping off line constantly. My troubles began after the team changed from Comcast to Verizon. I'm in a similar surrounding - finished basement office with the router upstairs and many feet away.
What do you think. Broadbent caught my eye. Five stars. In my searches for another card, I kept passing up this TrendNet because I wasn't familiar with the name - I didn't want more problems. The Verizon tech finally said that he couldn't determine why the weak signal. It hasn't faltered once.
I switched to other cards that were loaned to me, setup and re-setup, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, I returned to this product on Amazon and glanced over the comments. Pleased. About ten.
We bought this cause my daughters computer wasn't working and we figured she needed and upgrade, well we were right it worked for only 2 days so now we have to figure out what else it wrong lucky we have 4 computers in the house so she can still play one of them
After being on the phone with her for about an hour she said she could not help me. It was easy to install on my Dell Computer. This is a great product. Then I called tech support at TRENDnet and they helped me with the set up. I called my cable carrier first to help me set it up. They could not help me she confused me more than if I tried on my own. Now it is running right and I have not had any trouble at all. TRENDnet TEW-423PI 54Mbps Wireless G PCI Adapter
I needed a wireless adapter fairly fast and wanted to keep the price low - so I turned to Amazon and went with this model. Troubleshooting was useless. What a dissapointment.Now I know computers - I have a degree in this field for pity sakes, so I know what I am doing when installing an item like this. Regardless, it never worked. Thankfully Amazon handled the return quickly. Thumbs up for Amazon - thumbs down for Trendnet.
I have just return my linksys adapter and change to this one, and it turns out no big difference in performance. But the prices have huge difference.
