This little wireless adapter is designed to plug right into laptop of pc’s usb ports so that it enables them to be wireless and therefore can pick up a signal from a network. This can plug into your pc or laptop 2 different ways, firstly it can plug in much like a usb memory stick and just the stick itself can go straight into a usb port on your laptop or pc. The second way is to plug the holder into the pc of laptops usb port, this holder conveniently holds the wireless stick in place and has a wire leading out which can plug into the usb ports. This lead can go about a meter so is handy if you need to position it somewhere else on your desktop, also it looks quite good in its little holster and doesn’t look out of place. I bought this one a while ago from comet for I think around £20, I bought it mainly because it was the cheapest one there and secondly because it was the same make as my actual wireless router which is also a belkin.
The only downside I experience with this was for the first few months it seemed to cut off the internet connection and stop working, sometimes for a few minutes at a time. This always logged me out of my AOL service provider and also msn If I was on it. This however has now stopped happening, so im not too sure what the initial problem actually was, but it hasn’t happened for a few months so everything looks ok now.
After a few attempt of trying to set it up myself, (as I always try doing things without reading the instructions first) I failed to manage on my own. So out came the instruction manual and it was set up in about 10 minutes of my time. It is easily enough to follow and if you do have any problems they do have a customer helpline, however I do know from expatriate just how bad belkins customer service is.
Also after trying this on my laptop, which actually has wireless built into it, the wireless adapter still worked just as good as the laptops already built in wireless did.
Altogether this is a good little wireless adapter, it works well and doesn’t look too bad on a desktop, also its cheap too, and was the cheapest when I bought it, so if your looking for one then this would certainly be a good buy.
