Simple product, works great. First. then falls apart.

This wireless card works great (READ BELOW). I bought it so I could move my desktop around a bit more and it seems to have great range. In fact, there was no installation, Windows 7 simply downloads the necessary drivers and starts using it. The beautiful and simple design allows it to be used with both laptop and desktop. The only thing I can fault is that the small sleeve that came with the card was lost within a few days. Not a big problem since I don't use it anyway, but might botherโ€ฆ

Works great with no issues

Some reviewers complained about issues with the included software and said they had problems with communication, weak signal etc. Despite that I decided to take a risk and order because I've worked with others Belkin products was satisfied. I have to admit that I started the installation with great fear. If anyone has had a bad experience, it's definitely me. But now I have to say I don't understand the negative reviews. The installation went very smoothly. I thought about not using theโ€ฆ

Failed to connect to USB network adapters

I tried to connect this device to a WinXP desktop (circa 2006 with Service Pack 3 and all updates) but despite numerous attempts I was unable to connect to a wireless network to make it run This desktop was previously connected to the router but is now facing a new Win7 machine that is connected to the router. I know the wireless network is fine because I can easily connect a laptop to it in the same room. Tried with/without installing the Belkin utility that manages wireless networks. butโ€ฆ

Works great on Windows XP, even better on Ubuntu

I bought this wireless adapter so I wouldn't have to run a cable up to our old desktop computer. I chose this adapter because of the USB cable and stand. Our USB ports are on the back, right against the wall, so there's very little space. The USB ports on the front are very close to the ground and I didn't want the adapter to be kicked or crushed. The cable and stand allow you to place the adapter right on your desk, and the LED indicator is visible so we know it's working. Windows XP andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Network Adapter
Cons
  • Low maintainability
