The Linksys router was easy to set up - works well with a wired Vista desktop and a wireless XP laptop. However, when I connected this Linksys USB adapter to a desktop in our garage, I get a 'Limited or no connectivity' message. Too far away, you say? Well, I have almost direct line of site to the router and this desktop had at least SOME connectivity with the Belkin N1 (the worst router out there right now). My Dell laptop gets 'Excellent' signal strength (at 54 mbps on G) when placed next to this desktop. The desktop's 'signal' is 11 mbps and when I actually try to connect to the router or Internet, it cannot do so at all. When you go to the Linksys support page for this product, you san see several users who are having the same problem and getting no help from Linksys. Unless you plan to put your wireless USB adapter within 24 inches of the router, don't get this adapter. It's weak.

I was hoping that the signal strenght would be better but it works just fine. My wireless laptop picks up a stronger signal than my desktop PC (on which I installed this item).

Only problem was that we could not hook up 2 computers without punching holes is ceilings and walls, which was not acceptible. <br /> <br />I than started researching and speaking to my "tech savy" friends(IT types)about how I could work around this house demolishing problem. <br /> <br />They all came up with a "wireless router" solution, different brands depending on whom you listened to. The name that came up more often was "Linksys wireless G". Well I thought ok, this is the RIGHT one to get, since I beleive in staying on budget these things came one at a time. <br /> <br />"No sense putting in a corvette engine into a Model T". <br /> <br />Point taken,I had to get a new computer!!!(working with upgraded (Win98SE).Then I got the router, had it for several months before my research turned up this adapter,originally looking for good prices on PC Wireless Cards" as I had been instructed. Printed the info I found about this Wireless-G USB Adapter for me and emailed it to my friends. Needless to say they all agreed that this was a great find and even better than the cards they'd spoken with me about. It's been instramental in aiding my supervision of my grandchildren(10&5) online. They can't get online unsupervised without it being plugged in. I have TOTAL control. This is a great addition to my computing world. <br /> <br />Wish I could tell you all the "techie speak" I heard about the installation of it,however I will tell you that it took less than 30 min.to get it up and running I have had no problem with it and of course it arrived in a timely manner. I recommend this for anyone that doesn't want to remodel their house for wireless. TMG I’ve been online since 92 with one ISP provider.This summer we Finally got broadband.

It does not matter if I let windows manage it or the included software. 50 percent of the time it does not work. It does not matter if I let windows manage it or the included software.
