A nice piece of technology when it works right [Posted on 2004-01-02]
I have purchased a total of 2 of these USB adaptors for my laptops. They work fine, if you don't move them very much. However, due to the mobility of laptops, which Microsoft may have overlooked when designing this, both of the USB plugs have developed a short. If you wiggle the cable just right it works fine, but if you try and move it after that, it shorts out and stops working. Laptop users be warned
Small and Reliable [Posted on 2004-01-04]
Pros: Small, reliable, never drops, great range (I think I tried it from about 100 ft and got close to 100%), software is easy to use (the CD takes care of pretty much everything). HASSLEFREE!!! Cons: You could probably save a couple bucks if you use D-Link or something. Not as stylish as the little stick ones like WUSB12 from Linksys.
Works, looks good, what more could you ask? [Posted on 2004-01-07]
Compared with most other USB wireless adapters, the MN-510 is small and looks good. And it works very well too. I installed it in seconds with my Windows XP system and it worked flawlessly from the start. What more could you ask?

The MN-510 is an easy way to connect your remote PCs easily and without wires to your home network. The install wizard basically guides you through the install and connectivity with the base station is great. One nice thing about this adaper as compared to some slot-style B & G adapters is that the 510 allows you to move the unit because of the USB cable, thus taking advantage of the best position for signal strength. I've installed 6 of these and all in all a great product.
Great Product [Posted on 2004-04-24]
I purshased this USB adapter to my computer to connect with my home network and it has worked great. I was interested in finding if the wireless network would work as well as a wired network and I am quite happy with its performance.
