Linksys Wireless USB Adaptor's

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 adaptor to 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...

Review of Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster WUSB54GS

Linksys Wireless-G - Easy to use install

Advantages: Easy to use, fast, easy to install
Disadvantages: May be prone to damage

...The Wireles-G USB Adapter is an excellent product, and does exactly what it was designed for with the minimum of fuss or complexity. On first look, you'd say it looks rather like a slightly chunky flash drive, but it's way more effective than that. It can be used to connect a PC or laptop to a local network, directly to another computer or, probably most commonly, to a wireless router for broadband internet access. It is connected, as you'd expect from the name, to a USB port Depending on your view, the fact it's external to the computer can be viewed as a plus or a negative. On the plus side, it's handy if you're using for more than one computer, however on the negative side, I expect there's a much greater chance of damage due to dropping, spillages etc. The connection is capable of incredibly fast connection speeds (certainly as...

Review of Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter WUSB54GC

Belkin wireless G USB Network Adaptor

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. Every time my computer searched for a network it crashed. I phoned the Belkin company who took me step by step through the technical part and still we could not get internet. Eventually the Belkin assistant told my for some reason my computer was not recognising the new network. Being increasingly frustrated I considered taking the adaptor back for a refund...

Wireless Usb 54Mbps G Compact

Advantages: Plug and play, easy to use.
Disadvantages: It is external, meaning not inside your computer.

...This product is very reliable great for people on the go, or even at home. Good office use and offers speeds that will satisfy anyones needs. There is only one inconvenience though, the fact that it is external. Since it is external there is always a better chance of it breaking, or being lost. Linksys is the leading networking brand and is very reliable, and there when you need it. The software provided gives you an easy to use network monitor which gives you the option to connect to what network you wish, save the network as a profile, and show the best link connection/speed. It has support for USB 2.0 and also USB 1.1 so it will work great on older computers. It is compatible with Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP, and also Vista. It has two wireless network modes 802.11g and 802.11b and is also compatible with 128-bit encryption....

Review of Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter WUSB54GC

Belkin Wireless USB adaptor

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...

Belkin Wireless G - Cheap and cheerful wireless adapter

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 USB wireless adapter to solve my internet problems, and chose the Belkin Wireless G USB adapter, as other members of my family use them and they are not expensive. Driver Download In order to get your Belkin wireless adapter 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...

Linksys Wireless-G - Heh, It's Winking At Me

Advantages: New faster wi-fi standard. Easy to set-up
Disadvantages: None specific to Linksys, but wi-fi HAS to less secure than a wired LAN

...off my hands for 30 quid, so at £50 it?s a cheap upgrade. LINKSYS WIRELESS-G BROADBAND ROUTER (WRT54G) As you?ll see, they?ve streamlined the name of these things in the last year or so! This is a typical Linksys job to look at, being of a common corporate stackable design about the size that modems used to be, with a couple of ?1st generation? rubber cell-phone antennae sticking out of the back. This one doesn?t quite have the full array of pretty lights that its predecessor had, but this has enabled then to make it a lower profile than my old one. Its power comes from the usual outboard mains adapter, enabling the Cisco, the parent company to supply more or less the same equipment worldwide. The only other accessory supplied, apart from the installation disk is the extra bit of networking cable you?ll need ? I?ll explain...

Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G - wireless router

Linksys's Lightning fast wireless router

Advantages: Fast speeds, Reliable, Stylish
Disadvantages: I had wireless problems, Gets a bit warm, no restart router option in config

...the wireless connection despite the signal strength being excellent. This resulted in a lot of whinging from my parents and a lot of head scratching by myself. I've tried several USB dongles to try to resolve this problem to no avail. These include a Netgear Wireless N RangeMax USB dongle, a Linksys Wireless N USB dongle and even a Negear PCI 54G wireless card. The machines are only about 7 metres from the router with just one wall with a window so not sure why. Interference en-route? Switching to a Belkin wireless router resolved the problem so I?m suspecting the Belkin performs better than the Linksys, which is a shame for the Linksys. On a brighter note, the wireless connection on my PC when I was using the Linksys, using a Linksys Wireless N USB dongle, is solid. Reliability is excellent and only times I've lost the connection was...

Review of Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway WAG160N - wireless router

The Perfect Wireless Adapter For Me

Advantages: Installation, Size, Reliable
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction ************* I had this wireless adapter bought me at Christmas to go with my wireless router which I have already reviewed. The idea in mind was to set it up on another computer in another room so that I could go on the internet with no need for cables to be trailing any where. Installation ************ The installation is very simple and quick. The wireless adapter is connected to the computer through a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable with one end going from the adapter and the other into the back of the computer into a USB port. One of the best things about this adapter is that power adapter is not needed because the adapter can get its power through the USB cable. When the computer has loaded the adapter will have been detected. Using the CD that came with the adapter insert it into the CD-ROM and wait...

Review of Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter WUSB54GR with RangeBooster

Go Wireless Go

Advantages: Reliable and easy to install
Disadvantages: Design style, Not Mac compatible

...This is a yet another reliable product from Linksys. The Wireless - G USB adapter was so easy to install, as with all the Linksys products I have purchased, this comes with an easy to install guide which talks you through the procedure step by step, which should always be followed to get the desired results. TIP: Although it does say on the box "to install simply plug into your USB 2.0 port" You may have problems using the Linksys software if you do so. When you read the step by step instructions it tells you to first insert the CD Rom and follow the onscreen installation instructions until prompted to plug the adapter into a USB port. If you do simply plug a device into a USB port of an XP machine, XP will automatically try to install a driver for the hardware and take control of the device, hence people having problems...
