A perfect wifi solution for mobos with PCI slot
By Sandip Kumaron
First of all, it took more than usual for flipkart to deliver this, but packaging, again was perfect.But this was an exception, I guess, usually I get all items within 2-3 days at max.
I don't know why many people didn't like this card. I have to say, it works perfectly for me, it has a good range, Windows 7 driver installation is pretty easy.
At a distance of about 40 feet (those are almost far ends of my flat) from WiFi router, and with at least 4 walls in between, it gives me 70% signal strength. I could stream youtube SD contents without any problem.
It comes with Linux driver support, while I couldn't find any other card listed here to claim that. I haven't tested it with Linux but I believe that it would work without any problem.
And one more reason is that its a PCI interface unlike PCI-E so it can fit into any old as well new motherboards (having legacy PCI slot). As for me, I didn't want to waste my PCI-E slots so I choose it over other PCI-E cards.
For home use, when you have a wifi router installed, this is a perfect choice.
Works perfect with Virtual Router as a HOTSPOT.
By P.C. Sunilon
I am a noob as far as networking is concerned. My intention was to create a WiFi hotspot with the least bit of input as far a time and money was concerned. Did a little bit of reading with the help of Google Mamoo. Set this in the vacant PCI slot on my motherboard and loaded only the drivers but not the programme as my intention was only to push out internet and not pull in internet. Loaded virtual Router. Everything started working immediately on Windows 7. I am now able to use the internet connection of my desktop on my Laptop and Samsung mobile without a glitch. Range is limited to about 30 feet through two very thick walls. For the money spent on this, its worth every paisa. Please take note not to use any other program to create a hotspot other than Virtual Router. For windows 8 use virtual router plus. A better option is this PCI-E card called TP-LINK TL-WN781ND 150Mbps Wireless PCI Express Network Nic which I did not chance upon when buying the card I bought.

Not good for online gamers and real-time data streaming apps
By Ravi Kumaron
I didn't buy this from Flipkart but I bought little costlier from Market. For those who play online games over WiFi, no matter how good your WiFi router is, you will get Packet Drop/Flush issue using this card. I will not recommend it. For general purpose browsing, this may not be an issue.
Signal Strength leaves room for improvement
By Samrat Mandalon
I am using it for my old desktop in the Kid's room. Installed the device then ran the CD installation (unlike what the instructions always say). I paired it up with D-Link DSL-2750U. Initially I had trouble connecting to the Wireless Router (configured as AP). It started working after a few attempts. Signal strength shows 2 bars only, flickers at times...although Internet speed seems to be unaffected. The Router is behind 3 brick walls and one Wooden wall :). I will probably try out one of those USB wireless connectors to check for any perceivable difference in reception quality.
Installation of Hardware and Software had no issues.
Flipkart's Service is impressive! (Reliability matters).

Signal Strengths Worse Than Airtel
By Vignesh Giridharanon
I had bought this in the hope that it would have a stronger reception than my current Belkin USB WiFi receiver. Oh, how wrong I was.As if the pain of having to plough through the metallic bits of my computer cabinet to install this thing wasn't enough, I had to use this rubbish receiver for a few days only to realise that it was a very bad purchase. The reception of wireless signal is abysmally low compared to modern phones and laptops, and the driver provided by D-Link isn't too likeable either; it will install a redundant WiFi connection manager that will work alongside the Windows one.Alternatives: a very very long ethernet cable to connect directly to your modem/router, or that Belkin N150 WiFi receiver I mentioned earlier.
If you are looking for better reception, then Don't Buy This!
By Beeon
Installation and setup was quick and smooth. But This one has poor reception than USB wireless adapter, I was using netgear WNA1000M N150 which has much better reception than this adapter.
Good connectivity
By Rahul sharmaon
Good connectivity.About 50 - 60 % signal at 20 feet with one wall and a 6 feet wooden wardrobe in between the router and the PC.About 75 % signal at 30 feet with one wall in between.
