 Not worth the money, 2008-01-28
I purchased this PCI card because it was cheap. I admit that. Sadly, that is exactly what I got, a cheap, poor quality card. It consistently had trouble with the Wifi signal in my home when other computers did not. It dropped the connection all the time and then wouldn't pick it back up, so that I had to reboot the computer to get back online. The software that comes with it disables the standard Windows XP login, so instead you have to type in your username and cannot have two users logged in at the same time. Finally, after about 6 months it just stopped working altogether. Honestly, I'm glad to get rid of it. I bought a much more expensive Linksys wireless card to replace it and am much happier.
 Just OK for the price, 2008-01-27
Set up can be a bit challenging and signal strength isn't great. Definitely consult the manual (unfortunately badly written) for set-up as 'intuition' might not work.
3.5 stars because of the price

Incredibly poor quality!, 2008-01-21
The Trendnet TEW-432PI (B1 build) is an incredibly poor quality piece of hardware. I have tried multiple methods to get it to maintain a consistent signal or at least stay connected to my router (which is less than 25 feet away through a wall) more than 10 minutes to no avail. I have tried to use the latest drivers, use the bundled software, change my router's channel signal, use WCZ to override the bundled software and connect via Windows XP's own methods, etc. and nothing has managed to get this card to work.
It is completely unreliable, and technical support is absolutely worthless and rude. I would rather pay 5x the price and buy something reliable. Don't waste your time, or even the small amount of money you will spend to pull your hair out and end up returning this wireless adapter. 0 stars for a terrible experience.

TrendNet is a great price, but connection too unstable, 2008-01-14
I recently purchased one of these cards and have been sadly unhappy.
Pros
Price
Installation
Cons
Connection drops at least 2x daily requiring a repair or reboot.
Drops on continuous usage. For example, can't copy more than 200 Meg across network without it dropping once.
I know the problem is not my network as I have two other laptops and have had at least 10 guests on my network with no problems. Also, the machine is about 10ft from the router so I know it is not the signal strength.
Seems to work reasonably for intermittent use on document surfing. But once you get into streaming music or video it falls on its face. I'm heading back to hardwire....
 Excellent Wi-Fi Card for the Price, 2008-01-13
I purchased this card based on other reviews and very glad I did. The card performed flawless it was a very easy install especially in Visita it was recognized. I did update the drivers using windows update and have not had any problems from this card. It's being used in a HP Pavillion n8200 computer.
