Tonite we have Belkins wireless 11G network card on the test bench and we will do some speed testing on this product to see if it has a good speed/reach ratio. If you are looking for a wireless card this review will be extra interesting for you.

Manuals, manuals, and more manuals are included with this product. I think this is a very good thing as they are all in different languages even though the product is easy to install and get running. There is also a cd with drivers that you should try not to lose The card itself is very small and it’s plugged into a PCI slot and the antenna should point up or the direction which the router is located.

The antenna is fairly small and won’t be in the way on the back of the computer. Personally this anteanna works great as we have excellent connection on our test system.
