This review is from: Belkin ME1001-USB Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter 802.11g (Personal Computers)

My steps to success:

- Cut out of plastic.

- Run driver from included CD on my Windows XP desktop.

- Plug adapter into USB hub.

That was it. Worked right away.

My router's two floors down and the signal strength's excellent.

Gotta love it.

Worked right away, just followed the instructions. We are using it on a desktop computer with Windows ME and Linksys Wifi 802.11g. Only have had it for a few days, but so far it works great.
I only gave it 4 stars, due to the fact that it was too fat to plug directly into the usb port on the computer. Fortunately for me I have a monitor with more usb ports on it that I was able to utilize.

This review is from: Belkin ME1001-USB Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter 802.11g (Personal Computers)

After reading all the reviews on usb wireless adapters I found this one very affordable and reliable. I bought it about a month ago and no regrets so far. It's been used very frequently by bringing my old desktop (running on XP) online and didn't annoyingly fail. Sometimes we have seen the signal gets lost and come back for no reason and booted the system once or twice over the course of the use. I couldn't switch to Windows Wireless Utility which I think is a lot better (at least would keep it connected) but didn't spend much time trying yet. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product and recommend, but not highly.
