Review on πŸ”Œ Cisco-Linksys USB100M Fast Ethernet USB Network Adapter by Jay Swearengin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Handy gadget. Best in Computers & Accessories Category

I have one of these in my computer bin (set of adaptors, connectors, gender changers, card readers and cables. a bit of a circus but never lets me down!) and have found it useful on a number of occasions. At this price it's worth having on hand. Essentially, you can connect an ethernet cable to the adapter and then plug the male end into any USB socket on your computer (e.g. laptop or TIVO etc.). This eliminates the need to purchase (or own) a network card. It has link and data LEDs that let you know you're connected to the network when they're not really needed. No setup is required either, just plug and play. From what I can see, the connection is as stable as any wired connection, and while it's true that a USB 2.0 compatible adapter will offer faster data transfer speeds, our network is working fine.

Pros
  • Plug and Play Compatible with Windows 98, 2000, Me and XP
Cons
  • Crumpled
