Review on AirLink 101 AWLL3028 54Mbps Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter with 802.11g by Chad Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Airlink 101 awll3026 works well on Linux and W2K

I've seen may differ from awll3028. Airlink 101 awll3026 installed easily and quickly on my Sempron Mobile 3200+ XUBUNTU 8.04 LTS Linux system using a GUI network setup tool. Installation was much easier than expected as there are native Linux drivers for this device. The base installation of XUBUNTU 8.04 required no additional software and required no command line input. It works well on my secure WEP-64(?) network, provides enough bandwidth for Youtube video streaming and smooth audio streaming to my Sony HDTV. The device is proven to be compatible with my Linsys WRT54G and Netgear WGR614 home routers. I have previously used this wireless USB2.0 device on a P3 833MHz Windows 2000 computer where it maintained a good connection for 40 feet across three walls. The included drivers installed quickly and setup was easy. I'm happy with the unit and the original retail price of $10 (from Frys) makes me a happy camper. where it maintained good communication for 40 feet across three walls.

Pros
  • USB 2.0 interface (USB 1.1 compatible) 802.11g WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK for extra security
Cons
  • I will add later
