- best reception in the group
I've used several different brand of wireless adapters on my laptop and desktop and this one consistantly outperforms the others in terms of reciving the signal. My computer is in a den upstairs away from the router and this is the only adapter that catches the signal consistantly. I haven't tried the newer n models but they are quite a bit more expensive and for most home, I don't think it'll make a difference.

- Nice & Easy
Great little adapter. Setup was very easy and it works great. I have my router on the main floor and use one of these adapters on the second floor and another in the basement, and both perform perfectly.

- Works fine
I had no problem installing (on XP) and using this adapter with my USR Wireless router. I didn't have any luck getting it to switch into MAXg mode, however, which should be 50% faster. Also I didn't get as good a range as I hoped for. All in all, though, it worked just fine.

- Locks up computer, cumbersome software
Installing the software for this USB adapter causes Windows XP home to lock-up continuously (to the point where you have to use the power button to shut the computer down). Multiple attempts to uninstall and reinstall yielded the same resutls. Also, the included software (which you must utilize), is slow and cumbersome. The US Robotics MaxG router is great, but buy a Netgear or Linksys USB adapter instead of this one and save yourself a lot of frustraton.
