No problems! 
2008-06-13
It took a little longer than I anticipated for it to arrive, but that was no big deal anyhow. No problems!
TRENDnet TEW-423PI Gives Bad Performance 
2008-06-12
Had problems with this product from day 1. Connect speeds were 24 Mbps or less and computer is only 15 feet from modem. Signal strength and link quality always at 100 percent. Contacted tech support and person assisting me helped to correct problem for 1 hour before problem returned. I feel unit is simply faulted. Others may have better success but I would not recommend this product.
Easy installation 
2008-06-10
Installs quickly - just ensure you are able to free up a PCI slot before ordering. PC this was put into is on the second floor of my townhouse. The wireless router is downstairs and connection speed is fine for surfing or downloading files. Haven't tried it with gaming since I use my laptop for that downstairs.
Sadly, the card just doesn't seem to work well with Vista Home Premium 2008-06-08
I have a self-built dual-core machine running Vista and 8 gigs of RAM. I have Verizon FIOS for internet service. While my PS3, my iMac G5, and my roommate's Powerbook G4 all work well, the Trendnet wireless PCI adapter is lucky to work for more than a few minutes at a time, and even then very slow.
In addition, the utilities required to run it create another layer of software to have to work through to get your connection, and it's bare-bones. Windows Vista doesn't really understand how to get it to ask for an IP address, so there's little you can do to prod it into life. Sometimes, Vista doesn't even recognize the card is there, suggesting plugging in an ethernet cable.
It sounds like I'm not alone in having problems with this card, and while it clearly works well for some people, I'd have to say you're definitely rolling the dice. The price is hard to beat for something that works, but easy to beat if it doesn't. My advice: save the packaging and be ready to have to return it.
TRENDnet TEW-423PI 54Mbps Wireless G PCI Adapter 2008-06-05
Amazing range on this adapter. I get Excellent and "very good" signal ratings all day long. Adapts well w/ my computer and took NO TIME to install and get up and running. This product made my life easier. So signal booster to buy, just pure power.
Absolute zero!!! This company should go out of business 2008-07-15
This card is garbage. It works when it wants to. Sometimes it connects, other times it either won't connect under any circumstances short of pulling out the power of the router...then waiting until it is reinitialized. When that happens it connects at random speeds and continues to fall under total failure occurs. Not ever have I had such an annoying problem with a wireless card. I even went out of my way to spend a lil bit more for what I thought was a better quality card. I am extremely disappointed, really! I now have the cheapest wireless g-pci card I could find, and that one works flawlessly. Shame on TRENDnet for selling this rubbish!
Poor Quality 2008-07-13
I sent this card back the day after I got it. First of all, the enclosed software would not install properly on my XP machine. Perhaps I got a bad copy of the CD. Seems unlikely. I ended-up running the card straight through windows but the speed fluctuated and was constantly slow. Calling customer service was a waste of time. No phone number is given in the manual so I had to go online using my laptop and get it. I waited on hold for more than half an hour and finally gave up. I was attracted to this product by the price and other users seem to have success with it. I did not. My advise, don't gamble on this one, spend a little more money, and get a quality product.
Bargain price for a great wireless card 2008-07-07
This item works great with just the Realtek driver. The Trendnet software is cumbersome. I installed with just the driver and let Windows manage the card. I would buy again.
Great card 2008-06-29
Installed the card, no problems. Picked up signal about 800 feet from wireless router. Amazon was great, A+++++++++
Has a horrible transfer rate 
2008-06-25
For some reason it has a excellent connection but a transfer rate of 5.5 mbps and it kept dropping connections. I have a crummy laptop next to it that gets a better signal and strength then this card. I tried playing games on the internet with this and it contently dropped my signal. And no its not my router everything else i own is fine.
