I first purchased D-Link DWA-130 for my desktop and I tried to install it with no success even after speaking with three different customer service rep for hours and returning it for another one.
Third time around, I bought the Belkin Surf & Share and it literally took just 5 minutes to install it to my computer. The set-up is very user-friendly with easy to follow instructions. I had an excellent experience using this product.

I have an old Belkin G Mimo router hooked up to my wife's Mac. The wireless adapter worked fairly well with my Windows Vista machine, but when I replaced that machine with a Windows 7, I couldn't get any response. So I went out and bought a Belkin Surf & Share for my desktop at a Big Box Store (paid a heck of a lot more than this listed price) and like a fool, I tossed the packaging and receipt. It worked OK for a month or so, but then started disconnecting - repeatedly. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software(driver). I'd get a conection, but the connection was slow at best, and I continued to have "device driver problems." My laptop connected fine so I was pretty sure it wasn't the router. I finally gave up and went to a different box store and purchased a Linksys AE1200. Viola! Couldn't be happier. Fast reliable connection. I was very disappointed and will look at Belkin products with a jaundiced eye in the future.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the WD TV Live Plus [...] along with this Belkin Surf and Share wireless USB adapter thinking that it'd finally allow me to have the wireless media setup I'd wanted for a while. The USB adapter was listed on the WD site as being compatible with the WD TV Live Plus[...], but so far I've found the whole setup to be VERY iffy. I'll try to watch something on Netflix, and it'll work for about 5 minutes and then it'll drop the network connection. I go to wireless settings and tell it to reconnect to my network, and it says it can't even SEE the network. Meanwhile, a laptop is sitting 5 feet away and has 4 or 5 out of 5 signal bars.
Also, while the WDTVLP technically CAN play all sorts of files from media servers (like TVersity), network shares, etc., I've found the performance to be pretty poor. I tried to watch an episode of 30 Rock that I had on my PC which I was sharing via TVersity, and it was constantly pausing, getting out of sync, etc. I did the same thing on my PS3 (streaming the same episode from my PC to the PS3 using TVersity) and it all ran fine.
Because the WD TV Live Plus doesn't have wireless integrated, and instead relies on you to buy your own wireless USB adapter, I think it's way too easy for the companies to pass the buck if you're having issues. Call WD and they'll tell you it's an issue with your USB adapter. Call Belkin and they'll tell you it's an issue with the WD TV Live Plus (or worse yet, your router...even though other computers connect to it fine).
I'll give this 3 stars mainly because I don't know for SURE that it's the Belkin device causing the problems or if it's the WD TV Live Plus. All I know is that I'm not happy with the setup I have going, and the Belkin device is part of that setup.
EDIT: Ended up buying a different USB adapter (...) and plugging it into the WD TV Live Plus. With the other USB adapter, the WD TV Live Plus is working fine. So I can only assume that the issues I was having were due to this adapter. Dropping down to 1 star, since it doesn't work.

Good Product Good Price
Amazon delivered a good product at a very good price. I purchased some at a big box store that were twice the price. This one was in the original package and delivered on time.
