I recently moved into a new house that has three floors – 2 stories and a basement. I made the decision to go totally wireless with my home network (2 PCs and a laptop). This adapter went on my older PC in the basement and it works perfectly. A no hassle set up means I was up and running 5 minutes after opening the package. I have not experienced any connection problems, slowdowns, etc.

I highly recommend Linksys wireless products for your home networking needs.

I have an old Dell that I relegated to the corner of the basement for my young girls to play games on. They like to go on the Disney Channel online, so I wanted to give them internet access. The computer is so old (7 years old-which is ancient by computer standards) that I wasn’t sure this adapter would work. The short answer-it works flawlessly. It took me 5 minutes to get it up and running. Perfect internet connection to my home network.

It is so good in fact that I have to buy another one. I have 3 computers on my network, and I recently moved them around to different locations. My almost new HP computer, which has a built in wireless card, moved from right next to the router, to another room. After I moved it, I kept getting a very weak signal. Not sure why, but I just popped the adapter out of the old Dell and popped it into the new HP. Literally took me 2 minutes to get it going, and I now I have excellent signal strength. I now have to buy a replacement to put back in the old computer so my girls can access the internet.

I did not have any of the problems some of the other posters had, and this adapter has now worked perfectly on 2 different computers, an old one and a new one.

My notebook has built in wireless capability but in some environments it does not work well. When that happens, I simply plug in the unit and I am ready within seconds.

After months of cursing at unreliable access using a Belkin F5D7050, I bought this Linksys and it’s been working without fault for a month. Great!

I read the previous review on how that user had the Belkin USB wireless adapter and I chuckle a bit cause I use to have that exact same one too. The Belkin adapter was more problematic than anything and it either never wanted to stay connected or it constantly had troubles getting connecting onto my network. I had everything right from my WPA key to having the correct MAC address in my address filtering settings on my router (I did have a Linksys router and I’ve read that having a Belkin adapter can be more problematic with a Linksys product). I’ve heard some users have had problems with it even when they use a wireless Belkin router too. Anywho, I had picked up the Linksys USB wireless adapter and I have to say that it works perfectly and I have never had one problem with it yet. It’s got pretty much the same features when you install an external adapter for a PCMCIA slot on a laptop. You can setup a profile so that when you plug in your adapter it will recognize those settings and connect to your network and you can sight through other networks if it picks up any. It supports WPA encryption, which I highly suggest for any home user with a home network as it’s a stronger encryption method than the regular WEP 64 or 128-bit. Also keep in mind that when you install the driver for it from the CD, it disables your WELCOME screen for when you sign on to your computer…It’s such a funny little thing too, here’s what happens. Once the driver is installed, it places a file called GTGina.dll within a certain folder and it disables the WELCOME screen and you have to type your username and password instead of the other way around. I’ve done research and you can delete the GTGina value in your system registry and it will allow you to make changes again in those settings instead of denying you access. I’ve e-mailed Linksys on that one and they sometimes got confused by that, hehe. Aside from that tiny issue, it’s an excellent adapter and I highly suggest it for Linksys users. *Thumbs up*

I ordered this for my sister so she could move a computer into her room and stay connected. She managed to figure out how to use it, despite being utterly and completely technologically impaired.

Having struggled through a wide range of routers and wireless card devices, all of which were either difficult to setup, extremely difficult to configure, and unreliable (a major brand router which literally “fried” itself in the first 48 hours), this simple little Linksys device seemed almost too good to be true. Since I have both PC’s and Mac’s I can say that with the exception of the apple devices (airport and airport extreme) this is the only piece of wireless hardware that has actually worked for me out of the box and just as simply as the enclosed software promised. My set-up time was literally 45 seconds (mostly waiting for the device to establish communication with the router for the first time)! In a world of wireless-not-quite-ready-for-primetime products, this one works!! (I’m connected to an Apple Airport, fyi for Mac fans. Totally compatable).

This equipment was very easy to use/install — especially for one who is not all that computer savvy. And it saved me from having to have a new phone jack installed. Definitely worth it and reasonably priced.

This is an excellent adapter. The strength is as fast as my ethernet cable when it is hooked up directly to the router. Not to mention my router is about 75 feet away from my computer when I use this device. It is fast, and always stays connected! You can’t go wrong with it.

I had just installed a dual-boot (XP and Vista) in my new computer and could not get my ethernet to operate in the XP mode. I installed all the drivers I could find and it would only work in Vista. I plugged this little gem into a USB and now can access the internet in either mode through the wireless connection.
