4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good if you ignore instructions. 1 Aug 2009
By Steve24
Bought this to add an old Xp PC to my new network, and because I haven't got a clue what Im doing I went for the cheapest one I could find.
I followed the instructions that came with the dongle ie loaded driver disc and then plugged dongle in.
Graph showed connection dropping in/out intermittently. Messed about with the settings without really knowing what I was doing for hours trying to stabalise connection without success.

Performed system restore then ignored instructions and just plugged the thing in without driver disc. Xp recognised it immediately and connection was up and running within 1 minute!

My second Pc is in an upstairs bedroom and the status window always says the connection is "very good". With this being my first attempt at creating a home network I can't comment on transfer speeds etc because I have nothing to compare against, but I can say my broadband connection is as fast upstairs as it is downstairs.

I hope this helps other first timers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Drops connection 28 Mar 2009
By S. Daw
Amazon Verified Purchase
I can see from other reviews that others are not getting this problem, but I've found that this device really, really struggles to maintain a good connection.
I'm using the thing in a school, and there's probably a fair amount of electrical "noise". The signal from the router is weak - my laptop with an internal card also reports this - but the laptop maintains a good connection pretty much without fail. This doesn't - at all.
It sometimes goes for periods without problems, and then drops / reconnects repeatedly, to the point that it's close to unusable. I've tried moving the computer around, and tweaking some settings, but to no avail. I'm using it with quite an old PC, XP SP3 and USB1.
This may be a one-off, and it's possible that it's a software / existing hardware issue, but if you think you may be using it in an environment where the signal is likely to be low and there's a bit of interference, be aware of my problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't load drivers first. 21 Feb 2007
OS = XP2

Instructions say load CD Rom & drivers will load automatically, then plug in USB Wireless Adapter & Windows will recognise it & accept it accordingly. NO! Windows says new hardware found please insert CD Rom for drivers, which it then installs again, only this time trying to use the Windows Wireless Network wizard, which after a reboot shows two icons on your taskbar. Result = conflicts.

Recommendation - Uninstall. Go back to restore point prior to installation. Plug adapter in, windows asks for drivers, put CD in tray and load drivers. Windows reboots & then recognises adapter straight away using Windows Wireless Network system. No probs after that.

Adapter works well, but range is not great. 1 Room & your down to 11bps, so does drop off quite quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Xubuntu (8.04 Hardy Heron) no worries 27 Sep 2008
Linux Xubuntu (8.04 Hardy Heron) on a rather old and knackered laptop.

It arrived yesterday so I don't know about longevity but it works fine, as far as I can tell. Good value, does what it's supposed to. No complaints.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does it without hassle 3 Dec 2008
By P. Cox
Read the previous reviews which said they had no problems when running Linux Ubuntu. Ordered the product and received it within 48 hours. Straight out of the packet, plugged it in and away it went. Running well, certainly up to the speed of the cable with no wires!

5.0 out of 5 stars good buy 3 Dec 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
Tried this on an old p3 with usb 1.1 and it works perfectly, in fact, tried this on a few computers, laptops (used as a connection to get windows updates to friends knackered computers)

It holds the connection very well, driver install is simplistic, does the job and good for the price!!!

can't fault it!!!!!

I selected this device in place of my Netgear WG121 USB Wireless device whose driver and application software caused a firewall error with AVG 9 on my Windows XP box. This replacement device works as it says it does; no issues & very stable. Having uninstalled the WG121 software and by loading the new drivers as below then my AVG 9 issue went away.
There is only one oversight and that is a label telling me the device MAC address; nothing is printed on the unit.
To install, then do the following things:-
1) Put the CD into your CD drive but do not load the s/w from CD.
2) Plug the device into the USB port you wish to use (rear port is good; out of harms way).
3) Wait till the device is seen by windows and initiates the device wizard
4) Point the wizard to the location on the CD where the drivers can be found for your OS. The drivers will be selected and installed.
You may need to enter your WEP/WAP key and SSID but DONT FORGET your router i.e.
a) check your router and locate the device MAC address to enable it if you need to.
b) if you use address reservation enter the same MAC address against the IP address you have assigned.
