Review on πŸ“Ά Unleash Seamless Wireless Connectivity with SMC SMC2635W 802.11b Cardbus Adapter by Jonathan Waritani

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Short range and unstable

This card is easy to install. Works great with WinXP on my Dell Inspiron 2560. However, it has poorer range/reception compared to the Belkin card I previously had. It disconnects quite often at 50 feet away with a wall between them. The included software utility showed 95% 100% signal strength and connection quality at this point. The reading immediately drops to 0%, I've hardly seen any other percentage between 0% and 95%. From time to time I lose connection in a very short distance of less than 10 feet! I don't think this is a very reliable product.

Pros
  • High transmission power up to 100 mW (20 dBm)
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
