4.0 out of 5 stars Handy device with the easiest set-up ever, January 31, 2009

I own a MacBook AIR which does not have a ethernet port (only WIFI), however from time to time I find myself in a situation where I can only connect to the Internet using ethernet. The Linksys G1000 solves this problem neatly, it is small, works right out of the box and offers good performance (although not gigabit speeds since USB 2.0 tops out at 480mbit).

In short a wonderful little device that solves my networking problems in both Windows, OS X and Linux. The only reason why I do not give it five stars is because of its ridiculous design and lack of a build in USB port (the ability to act as a USB hub would have been very nice).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to add near 1G performance to your network connection, June 1, 2009

Works great. I tried the Trendnet device as well. It locked up after a few minutes of heavy traffic. Obviously this device will not go full speed but it's several times faster than my builtin 100megabit connection. I got this for full speed access to my nas which it does. Oddly the gigabit led never lights. But I have timed it at over 350 megabits continuous.
