Works just as advertised [Posted on 2008-04-08]
If you have a 5Ghz router you may find that some of your computers do not come with the card to receive on this frequency. This adapter takes care of that problem. The adapter is easy to install. Plus, it comes with a wired base that connects to the desktop. This base allows you to easily move the adapter as needed to capture a good signal. I have had no problem with this device since I installed it a month ago.
N but Defaults to G 2.4 [Posted on 2008-04-29]
It works but starts in G - 2.4 gigahertz mode. You have to re-start it in N - 5 gigahertz to get the benefit of the fast connections. Support hung up before a solution was made. Poor support! The adviser was just a nag screen and gets in the way!
works fast with Linksys wireless N Gigabyte router [Posted on 2008-05-04]
I have XP Pro svpk 2. the adaptor is located in the next room from the router... The router has the WEP2 wireless security function and the adaptor allows for easy auto setup. The adaptor was plugged directly into the back USB 2.0 port instead of the extended wire connector. It installed easily..and for the past hour it has vacillated from 54 Mbps up to 108Mbps... happy-happy. Its connection data shows it is connected at 2.4Ghz.. I have not found how to change it to 5Ghz nor does the wee bit of documentation tell you. I tried the 54 Mbps PCI card and it dropped the wireless connection every few min. The Netgear WPN111 USB adaptor tried its best to connect and has a lovely dash board with easy to understand connection data, but it too seemed to lose its connection to the router, and as with other reviews on the Netgear product it was always very hot. I tried this USB because it matched the Linksys router data. I will try it out for the next few days and report back. I also have found the Linksys technical support to be horrid. My experience with external adaptors for wireless desktops has been dismal and hope I have found the solution by getting the WUSB600N.
No probs operating in dual band. Will buy another. [Posted on 2008-05-09]
I had no problems installing on an old Dell 4550 with XP Home Sp3.
It easily connects to either the 2.4 or the 5 Ghz bands being broadcasted from my WRT600N dual band router over 50 ft and 5 walls away. I have the 2.4 band set as my default profile but have no problems when I choose to connect the the 5 ghz band. Consistently getting over 54 Mbs. Very happy. I found it gets much better reception than the Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter.
works...ok...but a bit bulky and similar performance as wirless G [Posted on 2008-05-13]
if you think it works faster or better coverage than wireless G, forget about it. it might be faster, but for web surfing and upload, download, it hardly make any different between wireless G and N. Coverage not any better than G, it certainly has problem going through wood walls and gets disrupted by 2.14G cordless phone. dont believe in the hype and spend extra for the N , stick with the G.
