Too old - It does not handle WPA security
rrsodlMarch 28, 2008
Pros
I can't say what I like - it could not add my adapter and I tried it 2 computers.
Cons
Well, it just does not work with WPA encryption
Summary
Nice Product--But unable to purchase and register
tesammonMay 26, 2007
Pros
Works perfectly under XP SP2, absolutely glitch free. Works efficiently, bypassing Windows' network connection funtionality and providing total control and stability. I have 15+ APs within range--one of which is a FON AP. It let me block FON and maintain connections to only the desired APs.
Cons
No Web site, no reply to email requests. Hopefully a short-term issue, but in the meantime I'l need to find a different product that I can actually buy.
Summary
I wish I could buy this!
jgonellaJuly 9, 2006
Pros
I was constanly disconnecting from my wireless connection. This stopped my disconnections totally. There were even times when I was unable to connect to my wireless network with Windows XP configuring my connections, this never happens with Winc. When I pressed the buy button, the website was no good!
Cons
I couldn't buy it, and the check internet button didn't work properly.
Summary
Better than Windows Wireless Network finder if you are willing to pay for it
CableguyTKJanuary 21, 2006
Pros
It tells a lot more information about the wireless networks it detects than say, Windows Network finder. Tells you strength in exact percentages as opposed to the 5 bar mechanism Windows uses. Stores preferred networks. Stores history of your connected networks. Stores WEP keys you have used to connect to networks. Has functions WITHIN the program to release/renew your IP address. Tells IP address within the program. Doesn't use Wireless Zero Configuration service.
Cons
Not free. Hefty pricetag for something that can be done with Windows, or the free software which comes on the Driver CD with your wireless product. Overtakes wireless config. Either you use WinC, or you have to uninstall it to get back to using Windows Wireless Network Finder.
