avoid at all cost [Posted on 2008-02-05]
Bought this adapter as an "upgrade" to a regular G adapter. Installed easy enough but the signal was extremely weak, weaker than the cheap e-home adapter I had and certainly weaker than the belkin and the US Robotic units I tried. Within couple of weeks the unit died - no signal whatsoever. Believe me, there are far better units available from other vendors at equal or lower price. My US Robotics unit is the one I'm sticking with.

Wish I had read these reviews [Posted on 2008-04-10]
So, I bought this at Target for 50 bucks. The first couple of months, it worked great. Then, it became a pain to deal with. I noticed that when it gets really hot, it stops working (the blinking light stops). I have to let it cool down and then try up to 10-15 times by taking it and in and out of the USB to make it work again. I dont recommend this product, spend a little more and get something that isnt a headache.

Don't understand the negative reviews [Posted on 2008-08-08]
I used this USB adapter for about 18 months with no problems. Took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it connected to my Netgear wireless router. Communications devices are not universally plug-and-play. You will run into compatibility issues sometimes.

Has worked well so far [Posted on 2008-08-12]
I've had this product for a few days. It has a long USB cord, which leads to a desktop holder, into which you can place the adapter if you like, which is nice as my USB jacks were almost full and it would have been hard to plug this device in directly. I had tried a Linksys adapter, (I use a Linksys wirelss access point) but it did not work on this HP mini desktop (win XP). The PC also has a built-in wireless card which is pretty bad, won't hold a connection. Esp. if I don't broadcast SSID on the router. Whereas this D-Link, installation was super fast, and after connecting, I stopped broadcasting SSID. It stopped connecting, but I was quickly able to reconnect and since then its worked fine. I use it at work, with a connect-sensitive program, and so far its worked well. Will have to see whether it fails me in 2 months like others have said. But so far I think highly of this adapter.

My tower computer does not have a wireless G internet interface (laptops do). So I got this item to go wireless with the tower since it is in a different room than the inet modem, wireless router and print server. The modem and print server are wire-connected to two printers. So I can not only surf, but also print wirelessly. I also have two laptops with G and every thing works very nicely. Highly recommended if a wired connection is inconvenient. Don't forget to use some kind of encryption. I'm using WEP which is very easy and in my opinion adequate.
