Customer Reviews

Doesn't work well with other brand Wireless-N access points
Install

Very simple. CD installs the regular Linksys Wireless Wizard application. I have a Linksys Wireless-G PC Card installed on the same laptop, so I removed the card. After Install I now have 2 wireless wizards, I guess that's OK.

Issues

After rebooting I connect at 160Mbps to my NETGEAR Wireless-N Dual-Band AP, but I am unable to obtain an IP Address. I reboot again, this time connect at 1Mbps, and get an IP. Continued reboots don't change the connect speed.

2nd Floor Office Testing

While showing me connected at 1Mbps, My performance test app is showing 6.4Mbps. Something must be wrong with the drivers or the card.

I checked the Linksys website for updates, and I learn that I already have the most recent driver, and it was last updated 9/2007. That's not a good sign!

I can't recommend this adapter to people that don't own the matching Linksys Access point.

Nothing but trouble
Tried installing as mentioned in other reviews--didn't matter. Internet speed SHOWS it's fast but the response is very, very slow.

Put older Linksys WPC100 card back in and connection works just fine. (Yes, I removed all the WPC100 software and rebooted before installing the WPC600).

I'm taking the WPC600N back. Too much hassle. Never buying Linksys again. (The WPC100's program causes memory crashes at shutdown. Lots on the internet about this. Linksys' programs stink.)

good choice
i was looking to get better performance in terms of the range. it's a good choice for a wireless-N card.
