I purchased this card for my old HP laptop. The price was okay and the shipping was fast. My laptop has a built-in wireless card that supports only the WEP encryption. I wanted to use this card because it supports the WPA2 encryption as it is better than the WEP. I installed this card into my laptop's PCMCIA port with no problems and it did actually detect my router under the WPA2 encryption. The problem is this card couldn't maintain a connection for more than 30 minutes! I tried switching to the WPA encryption, it did improve the connection but it still drops the internet. I visited the 3Com's website for support but I did not find any solution for my problem because this card is discontinued from the manufacturer. I decided to return the product to J&R store. So I called them and they provided me with instructions about the return process. I hope that I will receive my refund for this card from J$R store.
