Rating: - fantastic, great signal strength, no dropped connections
I read a lot of good reviews about this and went ahead and bought it. Works fantastic. No dropped connections and signal strength is great. I have a Netgear MR814 wireless router by the way. I highly recommend this .

I have Dlink-614+ router, WIFI certified, then I purchased a SMC EZ Connect wireless PC card for my laptop, not certified. They all support 802.11b standard, but they never talk to each other even though I put them head to head. Supporting 802.11b, it's nothing, don't believe that. Certified products are a little bit expensive, but they are reliable. If you need your laptop talk to different networks, you need a certified PC card. If your budget is tight, you can choose non-certified router and PC card from the same manufacture.
The SMC tech support people worked hard to help me, but it just did not work. I sold it and purchased this orinoco card. It's certified, and it works out of box. This is an old card, it needs 5 V to work, so it sucks more power, and it seems to be a 16 bit non-cardbus card, but I did not see any impact on speed or stability. This card is great.
