NeoMayhem Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Do you think that the Microsoft Wireless Networking Kit (PC Card + Access Point) is any good? I saw it available for $99, which looked like a good deal to me. Have any of you tried this before? Is the hardware as good as Linksys or Netgear? Thanks :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it isnt, it is only an access point, but I already have a network running so this would just let me use my laptop around the house :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
