Connect your USB-equipped desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network at incredible speeds with the Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster. Using your high-speed USB 2.0 port, the Adapter delivers incredible data rates without the trouble of opening up the case of your computer. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster incorporates the next generation of Wireless-G to increase your “real-world” wireless network performance by up to 35%! And with SpeedBooster you’ll see an overall speed improvement even when running a mixed network of SpeedBooster and regular Wireless-G devices. To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It’s compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. And the new push button setup feature makes it easy to configure. Just push the button on the Access Point and on your other SecureEasySetup-enabled wireless device to automatically create a safe connection, protected by the industrial-strength security of 256-bit Wireless Protected Access (WPA2) encryption. The USB Network Adapter lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running cables. Now you don’t have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you’re connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space with other computers on the network.

My Linksys wireless USB adapter works pretty well, except that it is a little weak in picking up a signal. I use it on a Dell desktop to pick up my Linksys wireless router system in the next room. I am surprised that it only gets four out of five bars on the signal strength. My roommate also uses one, and has the same problem. My laptop, with built-in wireless card, for comparison, always gets five bars in the same location. That said, the adapter has no problem acquiring the signal and the connection has to be repaired only once in a while. All in all, I would say, for a Linksys product, this card should function a little better. But I am happy with it and will stick with it.

I have been using this product for about a year now and it works flawlessly(with the windows vista/xp configuration software). I would rate it with less stars for the product software but i am not rating the software. As far as I can say…. It connects everyday at 54mbps 100% and my router(linksys wrt54gs) is at least 20 feet away and in a different room. All in all a great wifi adapter.

I am soooooo ticked off! This is my second adapter. The first one that I bought was the Wireless N adapter that Linksys (the box) said was backwards compatible. I could never get it to work. I finally called Linksys and the rep told me that it was not backwards compatible. “The box is wrong”. Then I bought this one. Again another lie… The box says it is “VISTA CERTIFIED” Baloney! When I opened the box there was a paper that said I needed to download the Vista drivers from the website, but there were no Vista drivers on the website, only XP. I spent 3-4 hours messing with the stupid thing, until I finally contacted a rep via chat and they told me that the Vista drivers were not available. I am so furious, this is a complete disrespect of my time as a customer. I will never buy a linksys product again!

Before I begin, let me tell you that I wanted EASY to use and that is what I got. These adapters are as easy as plug and play for those of us that are tech challenged.
Now let me also add that I have now gone through FOUR of these on two pc’s. Two for each in a bit over a year. I am here now looking for more.
Although I hesitate to buy the same exact thing, I do love the simplicity and I like the speed in which they function until they just die one day and you are left scrambling for internet life.
So here I am buying two more….
do I recommmend them? Yes, if you don’t mind that you will be back out buying another one in less than a year. They work great when they are working!! If someone could recommend something similar with a longer life span, I’d be happy to give it a try!!
The key would be EASY TO USE and SPEED!!!

I bought this for my son’s computer (he plays games online), worrying that speed would be an issue…boy, was I wrong. Also, it couldn’t possibly be easier to set up. I highly recommend this product!
