The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline Network Card offers instant connectivity to multiple PC's over a home's existing telephone lines. You can network any PCI-equipped computer by connecting it to any telephone line. There's no need for a switch, a hub, or even any RJ-45 Ethernet cabling - the network runs on standard home-grade telephone cables. Simply install the card, plug the provided telephone cable into the wall, run the installation software, and go. The technology makes networking PCs at home easier than ever. Plus, there's a 10BaseT port on-board -- use it whenever you want to upgrade to a 10Mbps Ethernet.The HomeLink Phoneline Network Card utilizes Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) PCnet-Home technology which allows phone lines to carry data at a 1Mbps transfer rate without interrupting regular telephone voice service (POTS) or feeds from a cable modem or Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (xADSL). You can talk on the telephone, download files from the Internet, and share resources over a network all at the same time. Every standard telephone jack in the home is capable of hosting a PC. You can connect up to 25 devices on any given phone number. With the HomeLink Phoneline Network Card, you will instantly transform the home's telephone wiring into an easily expandable network.

 It just works! December 1, 1999

Setup was easy on Win98 and WinNT 4.0 SP4. Performance is great for a home LAN, and the proxy works fine for sharing a cable modem. This package offered a lot of capability at a very low price.
Works great! January 28, 2000

I installed this on two computers in about 20 minutes, one running Windows 98 Second Edition and one running Windows 2000. Setup is easy, and the sharing software is simple to configure. Highly recommended!

Much to the chagrin of the local computer networking company who had hoped to completely rewire the old house we bought for our office for an ethernet network, these cards work fine. We are running a 733 with windows 98, 533 with 98, and a 200 with 95. I'm going to be adding two more computers in the near future and will report back on that. No significant problems although I had to pull all of the cards from one computer because the order they were inserted in was important-- I think the winmodem in that computer was using a resource that didn't show up in the control panel.

Its network cards were a poor fit, each taking 5 times the normal time to install them in the machine. The LAN software only has email support, and it was slow and poor. Both machines were running Windows 98. Frequent reboots now plague both, clients often fail to find the server.Most game programs seem to have problems using the connection. The only thing running with success are basic browsers. Overall, a complete waste of money.
Linksys support is totally worthless!! June 21, 2001

I have a Linksys Homelink network system that has now been unusable for months. When I upgraded to Windows ME, the only problem I had was with the Linksys card. Neither phone support or email support has been able to fix the problem. Email support rarely returns any messages, and if they do, all they say is they are working on the problem. I have four computers and a laptop and all were working decently on the network before upgrading to ME - not good, just decently - but what is so discouraging is the lack of support. I will NEVER buy another Linksys product!
