  This product works great and we bought another one and that works great.
  
  It’s the best for wireless connectivity to the internet.

  I’ve had this product for a few days. It has a long USB cord, which leads to a desktop holder, into which you can place the adapter if you like, which is nice as my USB jacks were almost full and it would have been hard to plug this device in directly. I had tried a Linksys adapter, (I use a Linksys wirelss access point) but it did not work on this HP mini desktop (win XP). The PC also has a built-in wireless card which is pretty bad, won’t hold a connection. Esp. if I don’t broadcast SSID on the router. Whereas this D-Link, installation was super fast, and after connecting, I stopped broadcasting SSID. It stopped connecting, but I was quickly able to reconnect and since then its worked fine. I use it at work, with a connect-sensitive program, and so far its worked well. Will have to see whether it fails me in 2 months like others have said. But so far I think highly of this adapter.

  I used this USB adapter for about 18 months with no problems. Took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it connected to my Netgear wireless router. Communications devices are not universally plug-and-play. You will run into compatibility issues sometimes.

  Works as advertized. Of course it will only work as good as your access point. I am using a Kyocera KR-1 in conjunction with a Novatel mobile broadband device. The KR-1′s 802.11 signal is extremely weak, barely penetrating a standard residential wall. So, I needed a powerful USB type 802.11 device on the workstation and the D-Link delivers.

  My tower computer does not have a wireless G internet interface (laptops do). So I got this item to go wireless with the tower since it is in a different room than the inet modem, wireless router and print server. The modem and print server are wire-connected to two printers. So I can not only surf, but also print wirelessly. I also have two laptops with G and every thing works very nicely. Highly recommended if a wired connection is inconvenient. Don’t forget to use some kind of encryption. I’m using WEP which is very easy and in my opinion adequate.

  I’ve had this product for about a month and overall, I find it very good. I use it to connect to my D-Link wireless router that is 2 floors above my computer in my split-level home. The signal fluctuates between low and very good but is always more than enough for internet connections. Even on a “fair” connection, I still was getting 600K download speed from Microsoft’s website. Bottom line, if you’re using it for large file transfers at a long distance or though a few walls, it’s not going to be that great. However, if you just want it to share an internet connection, it’s great.

  This adapter works… period.
  
  Some minor niggles are that it can be a bit slow when downloading and I seem to loose my connection every intermitently during a download. I am sure there are better adapters out there, but for the price, I’m not complaining…
