Linksys WUSB54G Wireless NIC Adapter
Linksys by Cisco WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Network Adapter

I had no problem at all installing this product, the only problem I did have was my fault.. I already had a network set up and had installed a security passcode that I couldnt remember anything about since it was set up about 6 years ago. I called Linksys customer service (since my router was also a Linksys) and they took me thru the steps to recover my passcode, great and knowledgable customer service also!! This product is also great because it is easy to disconnect if you don't want your child going online when your not around!!

I bought the Linksys WUSB54G - Wireless-G USB Adapter 802.11G - it was delivered in a flash and now I am totally wireless, my desktop, my laptop and Wii. Great Service. Thank you.

This small little gizmo sure picks up my wireless signal. I'm an old guy struggling to keep up with technology. This was the easiest, most straight forward install I've ever experienced. I recommend highly!!

Bought this for my son-in-law. We agree with other reviews that say it is a breeze to install and works great! Buy.com had one of the lowest price on it also.

I did my research on the item i needed, so I knew what I was getting. 3BTech delivered promptly and product was perfect. Couldn't have asked for more.

Put to use on a pc in the basement. Followed the instructions in the manual and had it connected to my network in 10 minutes. Connecting to a dlink router on the next floor. Still working fine after a week

I've installed a bunch of these little guys in the past, and with the ones I purchased, they were easy to install and setup. The USB makes it easy to adjust the device's location, so that you can easily find a better signal. It comes with a double-sided tape that doesn't seem to stick very well, so you may want some of your own. As for value, for the $50.00 it does not have much more range or speed than a cheap little $20-$30 no name wireless G USB Adapter.

Very easy to use and setup, took about 5 minutes. It being an USB device has its advantage, as you can move it around to try to achieve the best reception. If I were to do it again, though, I might spend another $25 or so to get the RangeExtender (or whatever it is called) version (w/ dual antenna) When I ordered it, I didn't see that being available.

This product is great for any computer, especially Desktops with CPUs hidden in a drawer or in a low area (under the desk). The USB cable is long and the product can be attached by velcrow at a higher point. I took exactly 15 mins. to get this working for my desktop. Now all comps in my house are Wi-Fi. AWESOME... no more freaky cables to run anywhere.. floor looks neat now. Just make sure you run the CD first to install the driver and follow the setup instructions.

Did not have internet hookup any other way. Bought this product and there you go. I'm online.

I bought this adapter as an easy way to get my wife's desktop on our wireless network without having to go through the trouble of installing an internal wireless card. The adapter is very easy to configure, and I credit Linksys for including a very straight forward driver. The main issue I have with the adapter is its reception of my home linksys router. When using this adapter, my home network signal strength shows up as a low signal in certain spots in my house. Unfortunately, one of these areas is where my wife's desktop is located, but if I use other wireless adapters (in either of my laptops) at the same location, I get close to full signal strength. My house is not that large (2 story and about 3000 sqft total). The router and desktop are on opposite sides of the house, which will have an impact on reception. Distance between adapter and router is no more than 100 ft., but there are a series of walls between both points, which is something I need to mention to remain objective in this review. However, these conditions do not seem to effect the other adapters I am using in my laptops (one adapter is a linksys card in one laptop and the other is an internal wireless receiver in my IBM thinkpad ). Given the different results from the various wireless receivers that I used under similar conditions and locales, I am led to believe that this adapter does not have the best reception relative to other options out there, and if you are looking to use this adapter in similar conditions as described above, you need to consider this adapter's low level of performance.

Linksys even has Vista driver for it on their website.

I had been having very sporadic wireless connections using Netgear MIMO router and USB Adaptor - connection would just quit for no reason and I had to reboot to get it back. Thought it might be USB driver problems or just various other internal problems causing instability in my system. Was going to try replacing both my router and USB adaptor but decided to just try a new USB hub. I have not had one dropped connection since purchasing the Linksys adaptor and still using my Netgear router. Apparently, Linksys drivers work a lot better.

Had no problems following the directions (i.e. run cd and follow prompts). Configuring was almost unbelievably easy and it seems to be performing seamlessly with the Linksys Compact Wireless-G Router we have. We live in a small one-story apartment so our concern was not so much about connectivity over larger distances but more on how well it would be able to handle the challenge of online gaming. So far, so good! No complaints and lots of gratitude for the pain-free installation.

This product is worth it...One of the few good ones out there. :)

Worked as advertised after a reboot. Setup does not instruct a reboot, but would not work until I did.

I have this installed on a pc over 1,000 yards away and I want to tell you this adapter rocks!! We are connecting to broadband at this distance with 11mps. It's worth every penny!

Much better reception than on my built in wireless dell laptop. Also better than my Dell PCMCIA wireless card. Two thumbs up!
