I’ve been waiting for awhile for this network card to arrive in Australia. SRX is a proprietary network standard used by Linksys, and is halfway between Wireless-G and the new future standard that is yet to be released. I’d read some good user reviews, but was still a bit wary as I’d had a bad installation experience with a WMP54G PCI card that I bought a year ago.

This time, I had no problems. The only concerns I have are the 5-minute delay before the NIC can establish a connection with the network. Apart from that installation was straightforward and painless. I’m about 15-20 metres away from the router, and the signal has to penetrate three plaster walls, and I get 100% signal strength at 100MBps.

I’d definitely recommend this SRX network setup to anyone who has wireless deadspots in their house or building. It’s an excellent standover until hardware based on the new Wireless standard begins to be produced.
