  This wireless adapter, especially when used with the corresponding Linksys Range Plus wireless router, works excellently. I have been trying to set up a wireless network in my home for several months, as I knew I was going to have surgery and be bedridden, and wanted to use my laptop to “surf the web” during this time. It was not until I got this adapter and the corresponding router that I was successful. It has been great not having to give up the internet while I am recuperating. It is one of my main sources of entertainment and communication with friends and colleges.

  The price at Amazon is the best I found on the Internet for this item. Fast delivery. I followed the instructions to the “T” that Linksys included with the product and it worked great. A much faster connection speed than my wireless-B adapter, especially since I just purchased a new linksys router and wanted to upgrade my adapter. But, after I rebooted my windows xp machine, the connection was lost. I went through all of the troubleshooting I could possibly think of and NO LUCK. I contacted linksys customer service, they’re terrible. I wouldn’t wish contacting linksys on my worst enemy. Linksys walked me through the same things I did in order to troubleshoot the problem. Then linksys wanted to charge me 9.95 to have a senior tech log into my machine and troubleshoot for me. Of course I said “no ****** way”. Finally after a few choice words and threats, Linksys said to uninstall and then re-install the software. I kick myself now, if I would have thought of that, I wouldn’t have had to call customer nonservice, I mean service. This evidently fixed the problem. I re-booted my machine several times with no hiccups. Amazon gets an A++, linksys gets an F-.

  If you are having difficulty with your linksys router or adapter, you must be a Republican. when you think you have a problem, just say NO.
  
  and read the instructions.

  The negative reviews are incorrect about this product.The people who have given it a bad review have no idea how to install,configure or use this product.Service pack 3 will not have any effect on the way this works.Cisco has a huge reputation in the professional networking industry and ALL of their products work flawless if you configure and use and install them correctly.

  If you purchase this device make sure you read the directions that came with it and you should be fine.

  I’ve owned this product for several months now and I have been extremely pleased with it. I had it installed and running in less than 5 minutes. I use it in conjunction with the recommended Linksys RangePlus wireless router. My adaptor is plugged into the back of an old desktop running Windows XP SP2 using the USB extender cord that comes with it. I have this desktop hooked up to my LCD TV and use it to watch videos from Hulu, YouTube, and the networks websites (ABC, CBS, NBC). Since owning this product I have actually cancelled my cable TV and just watch internet TV on my desktop hooked to my 42″ LCD in my family room. Most all shoes now can be found on the internet and now you can even watch them in hi-def. My router is on the second floor toward the front of my house. The adaptor is on the first floor almost on the other end of the house. I get just as fast of a transfer speed from it as I do on my computer that is “hard-wired” to the cable internet.

  I had to buy a wireless adaptor to use with my Sony Vaio because the WLAN card that comes in my laptop works very poor, and has problems to get strong signals form the router. In the meantime, some other laptops and equipment that I have connected to the same router have no problems at all. I thought the best idea would be to buy a new adaptor, easy to install,a nd hopefully USB. So, I spent couple of hours surfing the internet and doing my reseach to make sure I get the right product. So, I went to the store and got this range plus product because it has multiple antennas inside, so their promise is to get reliable signal and reach. Thinking about my problem was interference from other devices, and lack of reliable speed in my laptop, I decided to go ahead for this product. I installed last night and prove it, and found this is very reliable, and keeps the speed of transfer data is 54.0 Mbps, which is the maximum I can get. Fantastic! So, now I can listen to radio, watch videos online and not to worry about “freezing” screeens, and broken listening.

  The only down side is the fact that after clicking finish in the CD installation my computer got freezed. I had to restarted by it did not affect the product performance. I will still test it for about two weeks to see if signal keeps same rate.

  If you are an IT person or like to fix other people’s Computers or Laptops this is a great tool to have. This makes any computer able to get connected to the internet wirelessly. saves a lot of time and work.
