Review on Cisco-Linksys WCF12 Wireless-B Network CompactFlash πŸ“Ά+ Card (Type I): Boost Your Wireless Connectivity! by Don Kishore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Rock straight out of the box!

First of all thanks for Revane's super speed. Even with free "Super Saver" shipping, the item was delivered to my New York apartment in less than 36 hours after ordering, eight days before it was supposed to arrive (shocking, surprises you, doesn't it). Unlike these. that the wifi card was not working i had a great experience. I have an HP iPaq 2110 with Windows Pocket PC 2003 SE. The Linksys card worked straight away with the software on the CD that came with it (meaning I didn't even have to go to their website to get the latest installation software). Available WiFi networks were easily detected once the card was connected. Connection speeds are great and pages load surprisingly quickly (even heavier ones like Yahoo Mail exceeded my expectations). So far there have been no disruptions. Before that I tried using a Sandisk Wi-Fi card with disastrous results (apparently Sandisk is going out of the Wi-Fi business entirely). I couldn't get my PDA to recognize the card after it went to sleep and in general the connection was very unstable and I had to send it back. Sandisk blamed "Windows Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition" for everything, which they didn't guarantee compatibility with. Neither did Linksys, but their card had no problems with the operating system. The card's power turns off as expected every time the PDA goes into sleep mode and "wakes up" again when the PDA is turned on, which is quite natural. Thank you Linksys for a product that finally works.
