Desktop Computer Review: Linksys Wireless-G PCI Card WMP54G - Network adapter - PCI

I've had a lot of experience with Linksys products over the last few years and I have always been incredibly disappointed.This product was no different.It did work beautifully out of the box, which was a perk.I had a functional internet connection within 5-10 minutes of popping open my PC.However, after about 1 month of use, it literally just stopped working (no changes in software or hardware during this time).Tech support seemed oblivious to the problem ...Google "wmp54g stops working" and you get 805 hits (as of today at least) all describing the same problem: it works great, then stops working.

On a more positive note, tech support, at least via live chat, was very helpful and had me run a gamut of tests and configurations, all of which ultimately failed.Honestly, I'll never buy another Linksys product because of this failed product and about half a dozen other negative experiences I have had with the company failing to battle test their hardware and firmware.I've personally had very good luck with all netgear products I have purchased.However, I have not had any experience with the newest Range NEXT routers/adapters and thus can't recommend them.
