I just upgraded my main PC and wanted to create a media server in the living room from my old box It only had a CAT 5 on board network adapter so I needed a wireless card This is great for the money does exactly what it s supposed to do The router is on the opposite side of the wall about 6 away so of course the signal strength comes in 100
It was not immediately recognized by Windows XP SP3 but I just ran the autoplay from the CD and installed everything from there The mistake was to use ASUS proprietary network manager and disable Windows network manager The ASUS network manager looks like something from 1995 and works like it too It s just some other piece of junk to run in the background to hog more resources It can connect just fine but you have to navigate to several screens to connect Also it claims that it will save your password and settings but it never does So I have to manually connect and enter the password every time I boot up lame
Just install the drivers and bypass the ASUS network manager install and you ll be very satisfied
