Finds a signal anywhere...
Advantages: Very good range, useful extension, stylish Disadvantages: Heats up quite a bit
I bought this last year to access the new wireless router in the upstairs hall of my block of flats, and although the signal was very weak, the adapter generally managed to find a signal and function normally, whereas a friends laptop was incapable of doing so from the same position.

I bought this last year to access the new wireless router in the upstairs hall of my block of flats, and although the signal was very weak, the adapter generally managed to find a signal and function normally, whereas a friends laptop was incapable of doing so from the same position. This was about 10 metres from the router, down a floor and through several walls so I am quite impressed. I currently use it in my home, again a floor away, this time through two sets of double glazing and a wall, and it still finds a signal. The USB extension cradle is very useful, allowing adjustment to find a good signal. Sometimes gets quite heated when left on for a time, but not a real problem. A very good product, although not too cheap.

Reviews which might be of interest for "Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO USB Adapter Network adapter"
Advantages: easy to set up Disadvantages: None so far, couldn't use bundled software
This is really a follow up to my previous review on the BT voyager 2100 wireless router. In that review I mentioned how I had a laptop and desktop computer to connect up to the router. Luckily the router came with a PCMCIA card which I think is suitable for just about every laptop now. The laptop I hooked up is 5 years old and had a free slot. With the laptop painlessly out of the way I then had to connect my desktop PC which is probably the best part of 10 metres from where the router sits and round a 90 degree bend and (potentially) 2 doors closed.
This box was very plain and simple. The front showed the adapter and a bar graph to show the coverage you should be able to achieve. All this showed was that "G" gives one bar inside a house, "G+" gives two bars inside a house, "G+MIMO" gives three bars in a house and "N1 MIMO" seems to ...
Advantages: Easy set up, good range and speed. Disadvantages: Too large for real mobility. Too much packaging
I was converted from internet sceptic to true believer about three years ago, when I first signed up for AOL?s dial-up service. But it was only a few months ago that I took the plunge and signed my life away to broadband and entered the world of the external modem/router with wireless capabilities (a rather simplistic little box provided by AOL free of charge). In itself, this little box of tricks was easy enough to use, but I always thought that it would be great if I could get both of my computers (desktop and laptop) working together, using the same internet connection, so that I could work downstairs as well as in my study. So, about a month ago, I bit the bullet and bought a networkadapter for my laptop.
In fact, the one I chose was the BelkinG+ MIMOadapter, which was handy, as it makes the rest of this review much more ...
Advantages: Flexibility, desktop stand, usb cable length, compatability, range, speed Disadvantages: Shear size, Heat Buildup, Ugly as sin, Belkin Software unsurprisingly doesent work
Belkin. Well Known and well respected in the networking field. of course, the company has been around long enough to make a big enough impression. Unfortunatley however, I think someone went blind when designing it. And I will say now, one of the few reasons this frankly huge device isnt getting a full five stars is its just totally ugly, and did I mention it was huge?
It might not be important to you, but it certainly is to me. If an item is to big to fit in a USB port and allow other peripherals to connect around it, then it's got to sit on it's enclosed stand. Meaning it's on show. So If it's on show, it may as well look good. Christ almighty belkin, WHAT in the name of all that is holy were you thinking? Given wirelessadapters are getting smaller and smaller, or are becoming sleeker with their own dedicated stands finished in ...
