Note: I'm referring to the regular G version, whereas this card is for Super G. This is not a review of current product.
I have the regular G version too and it sucks. The released driver that supports WPA2 blue screens XP. The tech support is awful. They sent me three different versions of the driver, all with different image sizes but the same version number. The card generates more heat than the rest of my system. I have this in a room about 20' from the trendnet router (one drywall wall) and it gets 2 bars of signal and goes off into space for 8-10 seconds at a time.
I get better overall throughput and reliability with an old powerline networking adapter.
My overall experience with trendnet client adapters and drivers is EXTREMELY poor.
