I brought this product less than a month ago, but I didnt get around to installing it (had 2 other working computers). Finally, last night I installed the card following the instructions and tied it in to my router. Received a good reading that everything was set up fine, but could not connect to the internet. I called tech support (24/7) and after giving then the SN# and model#, I was told that this card is 3 years old, and I should take it back to the store for and updated model or upgrade the firmware. Hence I went with the firmware and it worked perfectly. Bestbuy needs to update their products.

Followed the instructions to the letter and will connect sporadically. Wanted this card to take advantage of my RangeMax Router. The card works, but the sofware is horrible. Should have went with a cheaper card.

I can only guess that the folks with problems might not have followed the directions. You don't put the adapter in the machine until you install the software and shut down the computer. I'm sorry, but mine has worked flawlessly. The proprietary UI for setting up your wireless connection is really user friendly, IMO. Although Netgear isn't a well-known brand to me, I'm glad I took a risk on this non-Linksys, non-Belkin adapter. I'm getting the full 54 Mbps my router can provide, and it's downstairs and across the house.
