5 out of 5 stars quick and easy setup, works great   November 24, 2007

Well, like any product, there are those who love it and those who hate it. Our family likes this wireless G adapter. My husband bought it, and he doesn't know much at all about computers. He plugged it in and Voila! He had internet upstairs and the wireless router is downstairs. He has used it for about 9 months now with no problems and we are buying one for our son's laptop becuase the internal in his just went bye-bye. Based on our experiences with this item, I recommend this as a low cost way to get wireless on your desktop or laptop.

When this product works, it works. However it will occasionally shut down and then the only way to reconnect is to shut down the whole computer. If you are in the middle of several things like working on photos, graphics and the internet, you have to shut down all those programs, restart the computer to get the internet to work and then pull up all your work again. Simply unplugging the adapter will not do it and there is no way to "repair" connection except shutting down the computer. I've had it with this adapter.


4 out of 5 stars Better Than Desktop Antennae   September 30, 2007

I had used the internal card with antennae before, but had connectivity problems with it being behind the computer. I disabled that and purchased this antennae with the cable. The lengthy cable gives me the option of moving the adapter around until I can get optimal connectivity. As far as the "Speedbooster" goes; I have no idea if it works or not. I suspect it is just a gimmick. Otherwise this is a nice product.

I have the router that it's recommended by linksys, with speed booster, the speed is not very good and the signal is week and they must be like 6 meters apart, dont recommend this product, although it does the job.

I doubt that Amazon will let this review go through.

I got the Linksys compact Wireless-G USB Adapter and later found that it took away my log in screen and made it impossible to switch users. The product works fair to poor. It goes down at least once a day and then it takes a few minutes to get it going again. When it works it seems ok, but the thru put don't seem a great as they say. Simply put I am sorry I bought the product but I still am not ready to get a good one from some other company.

Please do a Google Group search and of this product and Linksys. There you will see a host of complaints about this product and many other Linksys products.
