This doesn't work with Tivo! [Posted on 2008-04-21]
I had to return this adapter and get one that works with Tivo.
I was very pleased with the prompt delivery of the product and also with the return policy and quick credit to my account.
The only negative was the disc that came with the adapter did not work and I had to find and dload the drivers online.
Works fine but a little slow [Posted on 2008-05-05]
The Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB adapter was easy to set up and connected immediately to my Linksys Wireless router. Even though the signal strength is strong, I have not been able to exceed 10 Mbs and sometimes only 5 Mbs.
Worked nicely as a temporary connection while my cable modem was moved.
Much smaller than the picture might lead one to believe.
A very difficult company to deal with [Posted on 2008-05-06]
This is a bad company. I purchased a wireless router from them and, truth be told, it never really worked right. The speed was ok, but it was impossible to set up without tech support and every so often it would simply stop working. When that happened I would be forced to call tech support and spend 30-60 minutes on the phone fighting with them about resetting the router. I recently purchased a new computer and decided to save a little money by moving this router to it. When I called tech support I was told that the router was out of its warranty period and they could not help me... unless I would pay them to. That's right, I would have to pay for the assistance on their product - a working product because it was not under warranty.
So be warned that you are only buying the option to use Linksys' products for a limited time - that is if you have any problems whatsoever that require tech support. I am now trying a Trendnet. Let's see if they are any better.
I love this router! [Posted on 2008-05-13]
I am so happy with this router! It was very easy to set-up and I don't know much about routers!
Compact Unit that is Perfect for my needs [Posted on 2008-06-20]
I am not computer savvy and I found the Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB adapter very easy to set up. And it connected immediately to my Linksys Wireless router. If I can get it to work, anyone should be able too. It is not as fast as being direct connected via wire, but it worked just great for me.
I have been very satisfied with it. I only notice the slower rate of transfer when I have a large download. But I usually use this computer just as a remote terminal and not my main computer. I find that it is fine for browsing, sending e-mails and updating websites. Note; this review does not address a situation where you may want to use it to play a graphic intensive online game. I have computers set up for gaming in another room connected to the main router.
