Product Review Summary: Didn't work properly. Had to return to Linksys.

Not much to say. It didn't work. The inclusion of a one sheet piece of paper in the box instructing me NOT to use the install disk if I had Windows Vista (and i do) was a clue of things to come. I was instructed to go to the Linksys website to download the correct driver which proved utterly confusing so I wound up doing a live chat session with a 3rd world cust service rep with broken English. Finally got the correct driver installed. The device worked ... for about 15 minutes then would "freeze" on me. It recognized my wireless network but wouldn't connect me to the internet. This went on for several days ... a cycle of install, freeze up, uninstall, and reinstall .... would work for 15 minutres or so then die. Finally returned it to Linksys. They sent a replacement which thus far (knock on wood) seems to be working. (At least after a week it still works.)

Product Review Summary: i am done with it

never worked all the time. it would fall asleep or not connect on restart. after a year i replaced it with "Belkin A3L791-S 50-Foot RJ45 CAT 5e Snagless Molded Patch Cable (Gray)" $12.99 from amazon.

Product Review Summary: It's All That

This wireless USB adapter works great in my apartment, it was just what I needed to have internet access on my other computer. I highly recommend this product.

Product Review Summary: Causes Registry Errors

I reinstalled this device manually about 6 times before I finally discovered that it had a registry error. Had to dive through hundreds and hundreds of registry listings and delete the listing for it. Major pain.

On [...] I found 3 or 4 other folks out there had this same problem with 32 bit Vista. Not just me.

Product Review Summary: Not compatible with XP SP3

Do not buy if you have XP Service Pack 3 as this product will not work. After 1.5 hours on the 'phone last night with Linksys tech support they were able to tell me that I had to roll back to SP2 or to buy a different Linksys product. Not happy with this at all.
