Review on πŸ”Œ Wireless-G Ultra Slim USB 2.0 Adapter - Airlink AWLL3028, 802.11g by Ayush Bonuccelli

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as good as other brands

I used this adapter for my laptop as a previous reviewer mentioned, installation is easy and it connects to my local wireless network with no problems . The range is good too, I connected to 100ft with no issues, the signal stayed at 50%. The problem I'm having is that after a while my laptops are set to "standby", I've never turned them off completely and after waking them up from standby, the adapter again refused to connect to a wireless network to find, even if I unplugged the adapter and plugged it back in, doesn't work. I believe this is a mistake. I had to restart the laptop for it to connect. Cards from other well-known brands can connect to the network from any state of the laptop: wake up from sleep, disconnect/connect, etc. I give it 2 stars mainly because it's designed for a laptop, but that's not acceptable. I also tried the Cardbus Airlink adapter (awlc3026), same problem. I will no longer use AirLink products.

Pros
  • Wireless up to 54Mbps
Cons
  • This is driving me crazy
