I had no trouble installing this adapter; however, my documentation is a copy and sometimes incorrect.

Look elsewhere if you don't like playing with settings or if you must rely soley on the written instructions. Otherwise, it works.

I don't understand the reviewer who had trouble. this unit was about the most simple accessory I have ever set up and works just great.

I purchased the Smart Beam about a month ago and have not yet succeeded in transferring any data whatsoever between my two laptops and two desktops. They make it sound as simple to use as the builtin infrared ports but the truth is that there's plenty that needs to be configured and you had better have the knowledge and expertise of an advanced computer user to succeed. I am very disappointed and consider the Smart Beam to be a waste of money spent and also feel slightly mislead by the manufacturer as to the simplicity of the product. And, I'm considerably above average in personal computer technology but don't have the time needed to devote to configuring the Smart Beam although, some day I'll take the time and might give an update.
