Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your desktop or notebook computer. Just plug it into your computer’s USB port and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility.; The RangePlus Wireless Notebook Adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology to achieve extended range. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. And with MIMO, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link use RangePlus technology, the throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much radio band.; Once you’re connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network, wherever you wander. At home, you can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio. You’ll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention centers. Your wireless connection is protected by industrial-strength WPA2 encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network’s settings, step by step.; Get connected with fast throughput, reduced dead spots, and increased wireless range with the RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter from Linksys.

I bought this product after researching it a bit and it seemed like a reasonably stable product for a mid-level price. I installed the CD as prescribeed only to find the connection dropped a few times a day and was very difficlut to get it to reconnect, sometimes taking up to an hour. So after many hours more research, I removed the drivers on the CD (these were the most up to date of Linksys website as well) and let it use windows 7 drivers. It now seems stable, only disconnects maybe once a day and reconnects fairly quickly thereafter so a vast improvement. Some better windows 7 drivers are in much need for this device but I can't complain too much now that it is fairly stable.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
If for some reason you own a desktop or laptop without a wireless adapter built in (which I would imagine would be at least a couple of years old by now) you need to get one of these.
Very quick and easy to set up and use, and worked without a glitch so far, good reception too, even in the basement.
Plug and play enabled and tested in older laptops, around the house, even tried it on an old tower system running XP, and the provided install CD made it simple.
Plenty of encryption
Offers optimal performance with Wireless-N networks, but works with Wireless-G and -B networks as well.
Specifications:
Model WUSB100
Standards IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g
LEDs Power/Link/Act
No. of Antennas 1 Internal Antenna
Connector Type USB
Transmit Power 802.11b: 18 dBm
802.11g: 18 dBm
802.11n: 18 dBm
Antenna Gain in dBi 2 dBi
Security Features WEP, Wi-Fi Protected Access(tm) 2 (WPA2)
Security Key Bits Up to 128-Bit Encryption
For the money this is a great Wireless adapter.

I bought this device as it was listed as compatible with Win 7 64 bit on Microsfosts website.
I completely uninstalled my previous adapter, downloaded the latest Win 7 64 bit drivers but sadly this device did not work properly for me.
It would connect and stay connected, but the data stream would peak and trough on a minute by minute basis.
During the trough, so little data came through that browsers reported the page not fund etc.
Perhaps with enough tweaking it would have worked - I put in several hours and am very IT literate - more than a reasonable attempt to get it working I think.

Loaded easily, idiotproof product. Works very well with my Netgear Super g router. Avoided the Netgear adapters because of other reviews. Definately recommended.
