 Cheapest wireless adapter around and works excellent, 2006-02-03
I only tested the adapter for 5 days, but I did it heavily: 4 days of uninterrupted transfers, that was continuous file transfer and video streaming for about 90 hours.
What I noticed:
Problem: -at the beginning Windows XP had a problem on browsing the networks available, and I had to connect using the TrendNet utility.
Good thing: -once connected to my LinkSys WRT54G wireless router the transfers were just as good as over the wired network (note: I use 64-bit WEP security).
Problem: -once in a while I'll be noticed that my wireless network got connected (it happened about 3 times during my 5 days testing period), but I guess it's just a software bug or something as both my file transfer (using internet explorer) and video streaming weren't affected.
Problem: -the first time I restarted the computer I had to re-connect manually to my wireless network. However this issue has been fixed after, probably because Windows Xp has been able to browse the wireless networks since the first restart. Now the computer stays connected as it used to with the wired network.
Strange thing: when there aren't transfers ongoing the indicators show as the signal strength drops even spectacular sometimes. However, during my intense transfers, the signal strength went only to "very good" once in a while (from excellent) without affecting the speed of 54Mbps.
Conclusion: although I listed here several problems were all minor. If I would have to buy a wireless adapter again I would do the same choice without even hesitate.
Note: I use a Dell dimension 8400 desktop, P4 3.0 GHz HT, 512 RAM. The desktop has been within a close range to the wireless router but I'll come up with more information when I'll set the desktop further.

 Great performance and inexpensive, 2006-01-13
This card replaced AT&T wireless card and works flawlessly but only after latest drivers are installed. Problems experienced by MO reviewer may be due to not installing latest drivers, not disabling Windows wireless configuration software suggested by another review or bad location of card. Moving my PC just a couple of feet improved signal strength from 55% to 80%! I've had the card a couple of years, and the only problem I encountered was changing routers resulted in failure of Windows 98SE system to connect to web which was resolved by Trendnet tech support in just 5 minutes. The issue turned out to be Windows 98SE requirement to run Winipcfg and do the "release" and then "renew" that's brought up by Winipcfg and click "apply." This is a Windows 98 issue and no fault of the card. This device would get 5 star rating from me except for limited tech support hours Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6 PM Pacific time. I can find no faults with the card, would buy again and would recommend to everyone.

Great wireless card, 2005-12-29
Download their latest software and drivers from their website and expect no troubles; smooth sailing with Trendnet. The software works well across multiple accounts on the same PC.
If you use their software, then make sure that Window's Wireless configuration software is disabled! See Wireless Networks:Advanced Properties:Wireless network tab and uncheck the appropriate box.
One interesting issue with the software though is that the software indicates a good signal (as expected) and 36 Mbps, while Windows indicates a weak signal and 36 Mbps. I think that Windows needs to work on its wireless monitoring services (as well as its wireless configuration services, which is why I chose to use Trendnet's software).

Excellent and Inexpensive Card , 2005-09-06
I was looking for good and inexpensive wireless G card in the market and came across this one.
It took me less than 10 minutes to install this card and within no time I was browsing.
I already have Linksys router and there was no compatibility issue.
I am very happy with this buy and would recommend any one to go for it.
No drop connection.
