Title: Works, but very poor range
Product review: Specs-----Compaq Armada 1750 w/ Windows XPLinksys WPC11 v3 cardLinksys WAP w/ Signal BoosterI guess I should be happy that this card actually works with my Windows XP laptop given the other reviews, but overall I'm not happy at all with it.With my laptop sitting on the floor 1 foot from the Access Point (WITH a Signal Booster may I add), I wasn't even getting close to a 100% signal. When I get around 20 feet or so, the signal barely holds itself at poor and frequently drops to 0.This seems to be a common problem among notebook wireless cards (my PCI cards get very strong, often 100% signals). I don't understand why they can't add an antennae of some sort to improve performance. Right now, I can't have the laptop in any room other than the one that the WAP is in (even then I usually get poor connections) and still get a signal.
