Easy, inexpensive solution for wireless networking [Posted on 2004-08-23] After just purchasing a similar OEM unit from a major online retailer, I'm a little upset because I would of saved $20 if I had known about this product. USB alternatives like this have made desktop and notebook cards obsolete. You no longer have to crack the case or install and configure new drivers ... it can't get any easier than this plug-and-play solution to setting up a wireless home or small office network.
Did great .....until it broke [Posted on 2004-10-15] Easy set up, worked great, for a little while. After a very short period, it just stopped working. Maybe it was just the one I bought, but I was very unhappy, especially since a fight ensued about who was going to replace it(Still unresolved)
An update: After several months of arguing about whether the failure was software or a hardware issue, Microsoft finally agreed to replace the adapter. Of course I had already bought another from a different company, and they wouldn't simply refund the purchase price. The one I have works fine, so I haven't installed the replacement adapter and can't say if it works any better.
Great! But rare.... [Posted on 2005-03-16] Ok,isaacjs2 review said that when installing to XP there is a warning message... This is because XP allready has that feature built into it (connecting to wireless networks and such) and this is only on SP2. This product i find to be vErY good! A+, but its so hard to find now. All the networking equiptment is being replaced by belkin and netgear, so get this while you can! Its a great offer!!!

Good reception and has worked for 2 years [Posted on 2007-02-11] It picks up weak signals very well.
Good Wireless Adapter [Posted on 2008-03-26] My PC is hardwired to my DSL modem with a Microsoft Network Base Station (802.11b Network). It's pretty old, but hey it works and as long as it does everything is good. Anyway, the PC is in the basement and I bought this for my sons PC (located on the second floor). I have to say the reception is pretty good. My daughter also has a older Microsoft wireless adapter on her PC and when all three of us are online it's really not that slow.
All in all good buy!!
