Bought this device because I occasionally use a laptop without built in wireless. I picked the least expensive one of these things, hoping it would be good enough. It came, I installed it, and it just works. No muss, no fuss. Don’t know if the range is any better or worse than other models. I loaded the software on and plugged it into a laptop running Windows XP.

No issue here. Using this device on a 2nd XP computer for wireless internet access. Using it with a 802.11b Netgear router. Set up was easy. Product has a rebate too. Great price…works great.

I to was at first very dissatisfied with this product and if you follow the instructions by the MFG you will be too. After speaking with a Trednet tech he explained to me that if the driver and utility were on the CD in separate folders that you DID NOT need to install the Trendnet utility for the USB adapter to function in Win Xp.So I uninstalled everything and upon a restart I EXPLORED the install CD, do not let autorun do any install and verified the driver and utility were in separate folders I then plugged in the adapter and let windows install the driver with me selecting the driver to install rather than letting windows do the whole thing and now it works just as well as my Dlink PCMCIA airplus card.So it apears that my issue and hopefully most of yours are due to bad software specifically the Trendnet utility not hardware. Hope this helps many.

I was skeptical on this adapter based on it’s low price($20). I’ve been using it on a desktop pc for a couple months now and it has been great, no issues at all, performance is fine for a cable broadband connection and it has never dropped a signal. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an adapter for desktop or laptop. Very convenient when you want to take internet away from the kids, just plug and/or unplug the adapter on the fly!!

I bought mine in July 2006 and I’m so satisfied with its performance that I decided to comeback and write a good review about it. It’s been working fine for a year now. It didn’t come without a price though. The first one I got overheated a lot and eventually stopped working. I returned it to Amazon and they kindly sent me a new, functional wireless adapter. Just in case you wanted to know what I’m working with I have a 5 year old Dell Dimension 8200 and it runs Windows XP. I plug my adapter in my USB hub and it works forever. Well, at least until I have reset my modem or router.

Bought one of these instead of a $50 Dell unit for the office — doesn’t look quite as nice as the Dell, but it’s hidden behind the PC box so who cares?
Functions perfectly, quick/ez install, no worries out of the box. Download speeds are = or > than the Dell (we have 3 of those).
I usually don’t bother to write reviews but I’m irritated when the market is charging double what should be the going rate — go with this item so long as the price remains sub $30!!!

TRENDnet54Mbps Wireless G USB Adapter
My desktop computer does not have a wireless card, so I was looking for a quick and easy way to upgrade. This product took less than 5 minutes to install, and has performed exceptionally since doing so. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple wireless fix.

I downloaded the driver from Trendnet’s website before installing the adapter. I did not encounter any problems at all, including the issue that some users had with it disconnecting when they plugged in another USB device.

On the outside of the box this adapter came in there is a list of supported Window OS’s. No mention of the Mac OS. And it comes with a CD containing drivers. Windows drivers. However, Mac drivers are available for download at Trendnet’s own website. It’s a good driver, also. I know because I previously bought another adapter for twice the cost and with a lousy driver. It requested my network name and password whenever I restarted the computer or even woke it from sleep mode. The Trendnet driver automatically restablishes the network connecion with no fuss (in about 15 seconds). It works with MacOS 10.4 or 10.5.
