Advantages: Simple to set up and use Disadvantages: Software is not the greatest
I bought this USB network adaptor for my son when he still had his Windows 98 machine as the PCI card that I reviewed previously was too advanced for his hardware. This USBadapter was bought to connect to my Belkinwireless router meaning that I now had a wireless network consisting only of Belkin hardware.
--Whats in the box--
On opening the box, there were no real surprises. There was the USBadapter, a stand which would allow you to place the adapter on your desk if you didnt want to have it plugged directly into the back of your PC, the antenna, a quick installation guide and a CD which contained the drivers and a full manual.
--Installation--
On reading the quick installation guide, it was apparent that the software had to be installed before the adapter was plugged in. The reason for this was because, when the hardware ...
Advantages: Cheap, connects to routers of all types I have tried Disadvantages: Breaks easily, driver problems in Vista
I had used inbuilt wireless in my laptop (an HP Pavillion tx1000, that I have also reviewed) for two and a half years, until my internal wireless failed and couldn't be easily replaced. I decided to buy an external USBwirelessadapter to solve my internet problems, and chose the BelkinWireless G USBadapter, as other members of my family use them and they are not expensive.
Driver Download
In order to get your Belkinwirelessadapter to work, you must download the drviers from the internet. This is very annoying if you need to be wireless to connect easily. Other wireless internet USB (Vodaphone wireless broadband) I've used, have the driver software contained on the USB stick, which automatically loads and allows you to connect completely without a wire. The driver download website is easy, simple and quick. When you search ...
Advantages: wireless, compatible with a range of wireless routers, good price, small size, lifetime guarantee Disadvantages: so far i have not been able to find any disadvantages with this particular product
I bought this product to use with my BT total broadband home hub.
It was easy to install the software and worked immediately.
The belkin software is good for configuring the adapter but unneccesary with more wireless routers as it picks up the signal with the help of windows anyway.
the product is small and has a stand so it can be conveiniently stored out of the way and out of sight.
The range is pretty good as my adapter picks up 7 different signals from wireless routers in my neighbourhood.
The signal is always constant with no annoying breaks at all and is always very fast
The product is guaranteed for life so should there ever be any problem with it it will be replaced by the retailer or belkin without the need to spend any more money. This means that the price you pay is all you will ever need to, even if you ...
