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 USB adapter was bought to connect to my Belkin wireless 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 USB adapter, 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 Disadvantages: Not enough information on software or packaging.
I recently bought a Belkin wireless adaptor when I went into a house share and needed to have the internet. I use the internet but I know little about the technical side of things. I paid £19.99 for the adaptor in PC world who only had Belkin at the time which I thought was not expensive. However installing it was a nightmare.
The 3 easy steps on the box seemed so easy; Install the software, plug the adaptor into a USB PORT - start networking! If only it was that simple.

Advantages: Perfection in every way. Shame it dosnt make you a cuppa tea also :-) Disadvantages: The price would be seen as a little steep. But well worth it.
Where can I start with this fantastic product. Firstly not only is this well worth the money, its durable also.
Ease of Installation
Well, this is not hard to get wrong, from opening the product its clearly marked on the adaptorto run the cd first. Then it prompts you to plug the adaptor into your USB port.
Now, you can ether use the software designed for the adaptor or let windows manage your wireless connection. I'm not sure about windows 2000 but for xp, it saves the login to access the network & auto connects you when you turn your pc on. Very handy if you have kids who use the net allot.
Compatibility
To be honest, I have not had any problems with the product what so ever.
Version/Model
This is a WUSB54G-S
This has the speed booster. This is handy if your pc is located on the other side of your home ...
