Comments about Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual Band:
This product was installed in a 2005 computer with which I previously tried using a USB Wireless-N adapter. It's signal strength was always listed as "low" or "very low". With this new PCI version, my signal is listed as "very good" to "excellent". This made a huge improvement in Internet speed. Hardware and software installation were made simple by using the disc supplied in the package.

Comments about Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual Band:
This is a solid dual band B/G/N wireless adapter at a good price. I use the card with an "N" capable access point at 5 GHz, avoiding all the noise and interference in the 2.4 GHz band, resulting in excellent signal strength and throughput. I don't like the Linksys connection manager utility, so I just use Windows' WZC.

Comments about Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual Band:
Used this card to replace a G card. With a dual band router, this card is much faster than G.
My Signal rating did not change with this card, so that was a bit of a disapointment.
One problem I ran in to is Kaspersky's blocked the adapter from working and I had to call Cisco support to figure this out. Their support was top notch.

Comments about Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual Band:
It was just about the easiest thing in the world to hook-up even if you don't know how to install a PCI component. It gives you detailed instructions. It picked up my signal right away and I've had fast internet ever since.
