I will buy Belkin products again from Amazon. The WIFI reception is excellent and my upload / download speeds rival a cable connection. I purchased this for a Linux Ubuntu Notebook. In Ubuntu this worked by just plugging the card into the computer and setting up my security. I could not be more pleased.
i got this card today and i installed it in my laptop and desktop computers and i can tell this:after trying a lot of cards this is the only one that works in my second floor.my router is on the first floor and it is about 50 away feet from my office wich is located on the second floor.i get 300 mbps for speed on my 6 years sony laptop with windows xp pro with very good signal strength,and 300 mbps on my desktop with windows xp pro.And now the secret.router netgear WNDR 3700.People do not buy those N routers if you want to use them for conections far from your computers.THE ONLY ONE THAT REALY WORKS IS THE ONLY NETGEAR NDR 3700.So if you want high speeds and stedy conections try this one and than call me a liar.Good luck.
50 feet away in my home office it gets no signal at all. With my laptop on my lap in the living room about 15 feet from my Belkin N1 wireless router it gets only a fair signal and can't connect at full speed. Don't buy the N1 wireless notebook card, the pre-N is a much better device. Over the years I have had several wireless notebook cards. The Belkin N1 card is the worst I have ever had. My older pre-N notebook card gets a very good signal in my office so this the one I use even though it can't take advantage of full N1 connection speeds.
I tried the drivers for both, neither got me up to the speed my Linksys WUSB300N gets. One sticker says N, one says N1. I have received an RMA to return it.BTW, customer support is pathetic, they just didn't get it when I called The installation was a snap. But when I was done, the adapter would connect to an existing N network at only the slower 54 Mbps Wireless G speed.There is some confusion as to what model I have as well. I had wanted something smaller which fit the express slot, but this is not the one.
STAY AWAY. The N1 will not uninstall and Belkin customer service cannot fix the problem without an engineer going into the System Registry on my computer. An attempted upgrade from a Belkin Pre-N card cut my throughput in half (from 108mbps to 54). The product should never have been released. This product has major bugs and Belkin knows it. If you are upgrading from another card or Belkin product, it will not work. I've spent hours on this and am worse off than before the "upgrade." Belkin indicated it would be 2 days before an engineer can call me back to attempt a work around so the card can be uninstalled without crashing my wireless network.
