Belkin USB Wireless Adaptor with Windows Vista - Feb 2007,
By
This review is from: Belkin 802.11g Wireless G USB Network Adapter for Win 2000/ME/XP/Vista (Electronics)
I do repairs on computers as a hobby. I purchased this item, to save having superfluous cables when using the internet. I already have a wireless broadband router installed.
Having read the previous reviews, it is obvious that some people did have problems installing this device. I took their advice and DID NOT follow the manufacturers instructions. I DID NOT install the software before plugging in the adaptor. I DID use the desktop extension lead supplied. It DOES make a difference. (I later tried it without the extension lead) (The PC I was running was using the new Windows Vista operating system) The computer immediately picked up the new hardware and asked to connect to the internet to find the necessary drivers. I declined that and merely used the browse facility to browse to the Drivers file on the CD that came with the adaptor. It installed and works fine. I found: That the software on the CD is unnecessary - The driver files are tiny - the software is huge. See earlier reviews for details of problems with the software. I also found that the reception was better USING the desktop extension lead. And yes, the XP drivers DO work with Vista and XP. I hope this helps someone else.

For those of you who wouldn't dream of opening up your pc, this is the answer. Although I know how to open one up i chose to buy one of these 6 months ago for £25, now its £17 so its a real bargain. Just install the drivers then add the adaptor and its ready to go. Mine came with an extention lead but im not sure about this version. After 6 months its still working at full speed with my Linksys WRT54g router. The only down side is that you MUST HAVE USB2, otherwise the speed will stay at 11mps. If u have usb1 and care about speed then stick to a pci card. Another thing, I did have problems with the WEP encryption: having to repair my wirless connection upon every boot, but this is just a little hassle. the problem was fixed when i changed to WAP encryption and now it works perfectly. I havent tried any other wireless usb product but i would certainly recommend this one.

What a load of JUNK!!! - Recommend Netgear instead.,

Seriously don't bother with this BELKIN adapter! I wish there were a 0-star option because in my eyes this doesn't warrant even one star!
It constantly keeps dropping the connection, the strength meter fluctuates from 'very strong' to 'very week'. It works better WITHOUT the Belkin software but I found that it still would drop connection running just through Windows WP Pro although not as frequently. I use a Netgear WG111 adaptor on my daughters PC upstairs and it's never dropped it's connection, so I brought it downstairs to replace the Belkin and of course the Netgear adaptor works perfectly, allowing me to leave this very feedback. The Netgear WG111 might be uglier than this Belkin but looks aren't everything!... well that's what I keep telling myself! ;)
