Product Description

Belkin networking presents its latest innovation, the 802.11g Wireless Desktop Network Card. The Card works as an ideal standalone to give you instant networking capabilities. It features breakthrough 802.11g technology that makes wireless file transfers and downloads faster than ever before. 802.11g technology provides you with networking speeds nearly five times faster than the current Wi-Fi (802.11b) standard. The Card sets up on any desktop PC, with the simplicity of Plug-and-Play technology. It slides easily into the PCI expansion slot to enable a wireless connection to your network. 54g technology is the easiest wireless network to implement. The Card uses the wireless 802.11g 2.4GHz standard to offer you the widest working range-up to 1800 feet-and greater interoperability in mixed networking environments. 802.11g is backward-compatible with the 802.11b Wi-Fi networking standard, so it allows you to implement faster wireless technologies in combination with existing 802.11b Wi-Fi networks. An added Turbo Mode feature isolates your network from 802.11b wireless clients and allows your network to transmit data at the highest 802.11g data rate.

Customer Reviews

Works Great with Mac Os X Tiger 10.4.4
I tried another product before this to work with my Quicksilver G4 tower. I recently upgraded to the Airport Express and needed a wireless solution for the G4. I wasn't sure if anything would work with this other than the original Airport card (which is no longer made). The Airport Extreme card will not work in my machine either. This Belkin card was purchased locally, with the model number FSD7001. As soon as I installed it, the system immediately saw it. It was seamless. No software installation was needed. This works great on OS 10.4.4. Hope this helps you Mac users.

Easy to install if you follow the instructions
This card is really easy to install if you read and follow the instructions. The anti-static wrap on the card states in large bold font that the software must be installed before the card is inserted into the machine. If you install the software first, the card will be recognized right away. Configuration is easy -- just match the settings on your router. I was able to install this card and start browsing the web in 10 minutes. I then downloaded and updated the firmware on the card. The latest firmware is stable. I never lose a connection. I have this computer in a separate room from my router. No more mess of network cables!

Does NOT work with Mac OS X 10.4
I just purchased this exact model from Amazon a few days ago. It arrived today and there's nothing anywhere about mac compatibility. No drivers on the Cd or on the Belkin website, and its not plug-and-play either. Apparently Belkin frequently changes the chip manufacturers that make the underlying technology, and their newest cards use chips that dont have mac drivers. Booo

I have a Quicksilver G4. OS X 10.4.4.
