1.0 out of 5 stars OK for surfing the internet but if you want to stream or download anything forget it, December 29, 2008

If all you want to do is surf the internet or check e-mail it's probably fine. If you ever need to download something wrap the adapter in ice first because after 50 Mb or so it will overheat and kill your connection.

2.0 out of 5 stars When it's good, it's very good, but when it's bad, it's rotten, December 14, 2006

worked great for the first couple of months, and then it just died. Tried it on other computers with no luck. Also, range is very poor, so if you need the wireless access at a distance of more than 10-15 feet from the router, get something else.

It disconnects constantly, 4-5 times per day, and gets very hot. Looking around online, I'm not the only one with these problems. I called support, and they claimed it was my router. I explained that that was rather interesting, since at least 4 other devices in the house stay connected with no trouble at all. They escalated to 2nd tier support, which advised me to return it to the store and get a different kind (!) when they were told of the reviews I read. On hearing it was past the return policy (it was purchased near Christmas, I was too busy to worry about wifi issues then), they want me to ship it back to them, at my expense. Avoid it like the plague. It simply doesn't work. Some reviewers say it works "well enough" for simple web browsing. Sometimes, perhaps it does. But why buy a product that only works "well enough" for casual use when you can get one that works -right- for the same or less money?
