Strengths: Improved connection
Weakness: Difficult to install, expensive, signal not as good as advertised
I bought this adapter as part of an upgrade from my Wireless-b network that just wasn't performing. I have it working with the Linksys WRT300N router. The router installed very easily, but the adapter didn't. I had to call Linksys and on the second call, forty minutes later, I had it working. Signal drop-outs have ended, and the streaming video works very well. However, the best signal that I can...
Strengths: Great Coverage throughout my house.
Weakness: Expensive.
I am currently using this adapter with the Linksys WRT330N router. I haven't had any problems as of yet. I really like the dongle you can use, or it comes with a cradle to set it on your desk if you wanted. It's nice to have somewhere else to plug the adapter into the computer instead of the front or back usb slots. The connectivity is great. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Strengths: Strong Signal USB Connection Window Vista Compatible
Weakness: Expansive
This adapter has a strong signal and data transfer rate is good. It comes with USB connection. Therefore, I can use for either desktop or laptop computers. The Linksys website also provide Window Vista driver for download. It works fine for my new Vista computer. However, this adapter is expansive compare others.
Strengths: Small, stylish, comes included with a USB cable extender and a really cool special cradle. Works great!
Weakness: A tiny bit of trouble getting it to work with Windows Vista.
Setup was amazingly simple. All you have to do is install the software then plug this thing in. What makes this product so great is that it can pretty much go on any computer, as it connects via USB. It's small and stylish, too. The biggest benefit to me was the lack of LAG in my games. I use this on my Alienware PC (which I do a ton of gaming on) and have no lag at all. I play games that are...
Strengths: Super easy installation, even a newbie can follow. Good Design.
Weakness: Expensive, Connection gets lost every 2 minutes.
Perfect solution Home networking, no need to punch hole in your wall to get connected to the internet. Classic sample of plug & play. My only beef with this device is connection gets lost every 2 minutes. My initial set up was I plugged it in directly to my PC's front USB port. I thought there was some what frequency interference connection getting lost. So I tried the USB cable extender so I can...
Strengths: I've found very little to no strengths in owning this adapter.
Weakness: Terrible Vista drivers, Linksys couldn't create a driver that would function for their WUSB300N. Without the Marvell driver that is supplied in an optional Windows Update, your sound will stutter.
The customer service for Linksys didn't help at all with resolving the signal issues, (the typical copy and paste answers with the question "did you unplug and plug back in your router.")and all they referred me to was a bad link for the WUSB300N Vista Driver that actually was a download for a laptops wired network adapter. (very different driver) Overall I'm very unsatisfied with this product...
Strengths: Mobility and easy to install
Weakness: Ugly
The long cord and base makes it easy to move the device around for better reception and transmission for the vagaries of weather from. Much better than moving the desk top! Work well with N router
Strengths: Easy install, great signal strength
Weakness: Bulkier than I would like, expensive
Easy to set up out of the box (wish I could say the same for the router that went along with it) USB connecter is very nice. Excellent signal consistently, haven't gotten dropped yet! No conflicts with XP, have not tried Vista yet. It is fairly expensive - almost as much as the router itself but it does work well so it should prove to be worth the extra money.
Strengths: Speed, easy to install, Linksys technical support
Weakness: so-so range
I bought this USB adapter to interface with my new Linksys WRT300N router. The install was very easy (but, if possible, it's always good practice to download the latest driver/firmware from the vendor site before installing new devices/hardware - you'll save a lot of headaches). I setup my network to use WPA2 security with AES 256-bit encryption which the adapter supports. The default router...
