  For basic wireless, this works like a charm.

  Cons: Shorter range than some of the more expensive brands.

  Summary: I just plugged this in and it works great. I get an excellent signal everywhere in my 2200 sq. ft. raised ranch and my router is in the bottom most corner of the house! I don't think you can do better for the price and the warranty makes me feel safe and secure.

  Mac OS X 10.4, beware

  Summary: Mac users- This card is easy to set up and works well in Mac OS X 10.3. Utilizing encryption on this software, which by Ralink, who also makes the chipset, is not intuitive, and no directions are given. However, when running, everything functions well. Rating 9 out of 10.
  
  If you have Mac OS X 10.4, or are planning on upgrading, this card does not function at all. Support is terrible. On the Ralink forum (www.ralinktech.com) customers are begging for an upgrade, or at least the courtesy of an answer as to when, if ever, Ralink will update their software to be compatible with 10.4. No response.
  
  I find this discourteous and unprofessional. A lifetime guarantee should not mean the lifetime of the current software version.

  Updated
  As previously noted, the Belkin F5D7010 ver 3000 (Ralink chipset) does not function in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
  
  I purchased the F5D7011 card (125Mbps) and it works in Tiger using the AirPort software in my Powerbook G4 (DVI, 667MHz). Oddly, the normal 'AirPort Setup Assistant' application did not work, but the 'AirPort Setup Assistant for Graphite or Snow' hooked up just fine.
  
  Others have claimed similar success with F5D7010 ver 1000 or 2000, also utilizing the Broadcom chipset. Should work just fine, but I have not tried these and cannot confirm their findings.
  
  I would rate the current configuration 4 out of 5 stars in Mac OS X 10.4.

  Updated
  Ralink udated their software for compatibility with OS X 10.4 (Tiger). The software is still buggy (as was previous version), but livable, and the card now works just fine. In fact, I believe the antenna/reception of this (54mbs) card is markedly better than the newer (125mbs) F5D7011 card, which is Apple AirPort compatible.
  Would change the rating for this card to 8 out of 10 stars.

  No headaches with Belkin!!!

  Summary: If you are a Type A personality or on the verge of a
  nervous breakdown , stay away from this wireless G
  card.If you are 10 feet away or less it works great. I go
  in the room next door , either side 11.5 feet away and
  it is a disaster.Constant interuptions and takes 5
  minutes to reconnect using either the Windows or Belkin
  software. The Belkin software is nice but I did not
  spend $50 for just pretty software.
  Bought a TrendNet TEW-424UB usb wireless adapter and I
  can connect at my neighbor's house 150 feet away at 70%.

  Summary: It is a really good product for the money. It comes with a nice UI that is powerful, simple and to the point. I can get all sorts of networks with this card, ones I've never been aware of before and my signal on my home LAN is 100% all through the house, garage and outside in my car. I am only annoyed by the fact that I can to install the software instead of just plugin it in but for the software you get, I say it is completly worth the 2 minute hassle. Yeah, I am type A and I am also a power user but this is a really good product! I do not know what those guys who rated this a 5 or lower are doing but it works great!
  Oh and the MAC is easy to change and if you know how, the channels are too!

  Summary: Just 1 min to install everything and works great. Nice range too and real fast network scanner. Anyway, beware of the installation: if a command comes up asking in which country you live tell it something like the UK, yet some countries have limited channel range (US has 1-11, Spain has 10-11, etc). By the way, always use Belkin's propietary software instead of windows wireless utility, Belkin's works much better.
  
  Great job, Belkin.
