Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-07-02 Doesn't work This product will come up with the networks in the area. If you put in the network pass key it will connect then immediately disconnect. I bought it because I don't have alot of money and I wanted to get a wireless adapter cheap. Don't buy. Fork out the extra money on a better adapter. Rating:  Date: 2008-07-01 Never received This is the worst company I have dealt with.
There was a minor typo in the delivery address (690 instead of 960 for the house number), which I noticed soon after it shipped. I tried contacting UPS/USPS to straighten out - they said the sender needed to change the address, but this shouldn't be a problem. AntOnline declined to help.
I wanted to order another and save the wait (thinking there's be a refund coming on the first), but AntOnline didn't help me in reordering.
After 3 weeks, after the unit was returned, undelivered, to AntOnline, they issued a credit for the item minus shipping and also minus a restocking fee of another $3. I asked AntOnline to reconsider the restocking fee since I still wanted to (re)order the item, but they refused.
Basically, I'm out of pocket about $10 on an $18 item that I never saw. AntOnline apparently don't want my business, so I will never use them again - this is the worst customer service I've ever encountered.
I urge you not to use these guys.
Rating:  Date: 2008-06-30 Great and affordable wireless PCI card, with one caveat. The MSI PC60G wireless PCI card works very well, the performance is spectacular, and it is certainly easy on the wallet. Installation was relatively simple on my Windows XP SP3 system, and I was up and running in short order. The only reason this card didn't merit a 5 star rating is due to the following. I thought I'd share my experience in the event someone else comes across this issue.
I use ATT Yahoo! DSL service at home. We have two Desktop computers (Windows XP SP3) and a PlayStation 3 all hooked up via wireless to a fairly new 2WIRE 2701HG-B Gateway (proved by ATT Yahoo! and with built-in router and wireless access).
As an extra security layer, I wanted to enable MAC address filtering on the 2WIRE gateway. I realize MAC addresses are easily spoofed, that it's a low form of security, and that many find MAC address filtering unsafe. I do have WPA2-PSK AES enabled for top-level security.
With all that aside, one of the Desktops and the PlayStation 3 connect just fine with MAC filtering enabled. However, the Desktop with the MSI PC60G installed absolutely will not connect. The moment I disable MAC filtering on the 2WIRE, the MSI PC60G connects immediately. I tested the issue with my old D-Link 802.11b 11Mbs wireless card, and it worked flawlessly.
The Desktop's onboard Ethernet connection has been disabled, so the only available network connection is through the MSI PC60G. And as a result, the only available MAC address belongs to it.
Since I was able to use MAC address filtering with my old D-Link card, and because the other Desktop and PS3 work fine with it enabled, I believe the MSI card is the culprit.
Still, once again, the card performs very well and I recommend it. I will keep it, but have had to disable MAC address filtering on our home network. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-29 Stable and fast! I am using this card on my new PC that I just built. I bought this as a cheap alternative to a USB type card. I must say, I will never do USB again. Strong signal and NO dropouts. Works great on my 64-bit system. There are no cons to this card. Buy it while it is still available. Other sites are out of stock!!!! Rating:  Date: 2008-06-22 Easy, installs quickly, solid signal Amazingly easy to install, very solid signal, and software works like a champ. Unlike my previous wireless card for the office network (cable to that computer is just impossible) this one installed and worked within 10 minutes! The software was easy, and the signal is so much stronger that the throughput is incredible. Very nice unit for not too much money. Highly recommend it. |
