I had been using a NetGear adapter on my desktop and it was very slow. I could get no satisfaction from the support people. I got a Linksys and am much happier with the response time.
This adapter was a replacement for an old 802.11b one that only supported WEP security. It was also linksys. The old unit was removed, software uninstalled. The new adapter software was installed, the adapter plugged in, WPA security key entered and away it went. Just that easy and it’s really compact. Very nice.
I bought this because my computer takes an express card and they are fairly expensive. Not wanting to spend that much I went with the USP wireless adapter. It seems awkward and not as safe to have it hanging off the edge of the computer, but overall I am happy with it. Install is very easy with the included CD, worked first time out. I do have periodic problems with losing the wireless connection with the router and have not been able to figure out why, not sure if it is the computer, router or adapter causing the problem.
