 Rating:  - Misses 5 stars by a hairs breadth.The Good: This wifi card has a great range on it. My previous card could connect @ 18mbps max, only if orientated perfectly. This card happily connects to my network @ 36mbps. Very good considering there are two entire floors and the card is on the opposite side of the house to the router.

Finally identified the problem as the wifi card and found that a new driver had just been released (I'd installed the newest driver three weeks before) - once I'd installed that the bottle necking appeared to stop (NB Power optiopns can also have an affect - make sure you have Vista set for "High Performance").
