 Works Great! Dec 28, 2008
I really like this adapter. Although I read from this link that some people had problems with theirs, I found mine to work perfectly. I followed the vendor's instructions and loaded the software first, taking some chances. To my surprise the network monitor worked perfectly once loaded. However, I think my CD for loading the network monitor may have had a glitch since Step 1 finished fine, but it did not allow me to go to Step 2 straight during the CD loading. Instead I found the network monitor icon on the lower right side of the monitor. I had to complete the rest of the setup after launching the monitor. Afterwards, everything worked perfectly. I have this adapter connected on my Sony Vaio and am using Airport Extreme. After setting up my wireless router to 5Ghz, I was able to attain 270Mbps. Unless you set up to 5Ghz/40Mhz Radio Band as everyone recommends, you will not get the optimal speed.
 Doesn't work well with other brand Wireless-N access points Nov 28, 2008
Install
Very simple. CD installs the regular Linksys Wireless Wizard application. I have a Linksys Wireless-G PC Card installed on the same laptop, so I removed the card. After Install I now have 2 wireless wizards, I guess that's OK.
Issues
After rebooting I connect at 160Mbps to my NETGEAR Wireless-N Dual-Band AP, but I am unable to obtain an IP Address. I reboot again, this time connect at 1Mbps, and get an IP. Continued reboots don't change the connect speed.
2nd Floor Office Testing
While showing me connected at 1Mbps, My performance test app is showing 6.4Mbps. Something must be wrong with the drivers or the card.
I checked the Linksys website for updates, and I learn that I already have the most recent driver, and it was last updated 9/2007. That's not a good sign!
I can't recommend this adapter to people that don't own the matching Linksys Access point.
Nothing but trouble Nov 18, 2008
Tried installing as mentioned in other reviews--didn't matter. Internet speed SHOWS it's fast but the response is very, very slow.
Put older Linksys WPC100 card back in and connection works just fine. (Yes, I removed all the WPC100 software and rebooted before installing the WPC600).
I'm taking the WPC600N back. Too much hassle. Never buying Linksys again. (The WPC100's program causes memory crashes at shutdown. Lots on the internet about this. Linksys' programs stink.)
 good choice Nov 17, 2008
i was looking to get better performance in terms of the range. it's a good choice for a wireless-N card.
