Review on 🔌 IOGEAR GUF320 Hi-Speed USB 2.0/FireWire Combo PCI Card: Boost your Connectivity! by Noah Smith

When I first tried this card, I had Windows Me and an external USB ethernet between my computer and modem for high-speed cable service. This got me completely disconnected from the internet when trying to route it through the USB 2.0 ports. The Windows Internet Connection Wizard did not help me to reconnect to the network. I had to remove the circuit board and use my boot disk's recovery function just to be able to access the internet again through my USB 1.1 port. Finally, to use this board for all other USB 2.0 devices and with internet access, the solution was a free self-installing fallback program created by my ISP. He told me that installing this hardware/software changed 14 internet settings (again). Two years later I reformatted my Windows 2000 hard drive and got an external USB 2.0 ethernet. Installation was easier because Windows 2000 didn't require driver software to be installed. I could now access the internet through the USB 2.0 ports, but that often put me off. Again, I had to redirect internet service back through my USB 1.1 port. This card works for all other USB 2.0 purposes, but not for Internet access.
