My family recently signed up for DSL service in our home, and we love the speed, but our family Mac needed to be hooked up to our wireless router with a physical cable. My PC, therefore, really couldn't be in the same room when I brought it home from college; we don't have the floor space. So, we decided to look into buying a wireless PCI card for my PC, and to keep the actual computer upstairs in my room. I finally settled on the 3COM, and I have to say I'm impressed. All you need to do is install the software PRIOR to installation, put the card in a PCI slot (easy), and start your computer. The software found our router instantly, and within that minute I was surfing the web wirelessly. If you have a simple need for wireless access anywhere in your house, I highly recommend this product. The antenna is has a wire running from the PCI slot, so you can move it for the best reception. The only issue I've had is that I need to disable and then reenable the wireless connection in the system tray after rI restart the computer, but it's really not a big deal. Buy this!
