I bought two of these wireless adapters during the Thanksgiving sale and had nothing but problems with them.

I have been working as a Systems Administrator for many years, and configure LAN/WAN networks all the time, but I met my match when trying to get these adapters to work.

I installed one on a Windows XP Pro desktop computer with all the latest services packs and security updates, and the other was installed on a Windows XP Home laptop. It took me 6 hours to get the device to work on each computer, which I thought were running stably after going to Belkin's website and downloading the latest drivers to try and correct problem with windows losing the devices but I was wrong. For some unknown reason even though I was only seven feet away in the same room, I would lose my wireless connection from the desktop and or the laptop. Windows would also intermittently not be able to find the device on both desktop and laptop and required me to restart the computers to find the device again.

All wireless devices seem to have their glitches do to software, hardware, or interference from the environment, but this is the worst I have ever worked with!

I don't know what I would have done without it. I'm a teacher, my husband is in law enforcement. He's a gamer and I enjoy shopping online as a hobby.We have our entire household wireless. We have 2 laptops wireless, 1 desktop computer,2 differnt phone lines, and 3 game systems. And we still have really fast internet service. Since I shop alot I'm always looking for the best for my buck you might say so when I saw this I checked it out read some other reviews and thought I would give it a try. The belkin wireless G usb adapter arrived to my home in no time and I hooked it up in 2min. It was a easy to set up. Thanks for making a product that was awesome and simple to use.
