3.0 out of 5 stars
Watch out for cordless phones,
By A Customer
This review is from: SMC2662W 802.11b 11Mbps Wireless USB Adapter (Personal Computers)
This is a very good product, if it works. I would give it five stars for its range/signal strength, ease of use, helpful tech support, and good documentation if it always worked. BTW, I used it with an SMC2655W.But, I also have Panasonic 2.4 GHz Gigarange phones. When the phone is in use, the network stops working. The signal strength gauge drops to zero. Turn the phone off, the network recovers. Turn the phone on, the network fails. It is really easy to convince yourself of what is going on. Both are using 2.4 GHz, which I knew, but that they would be completely interfering was a surprise. The adapter was about 25 feet from the base station of the phone. It seems the base station is the problem, not the handset. The adapter was in the same room, but even hiding the adapter down the hall 5 feet did not solve the problem. I even put a bunch of metal next to the adapter in line with the phone base unit, but that did not seem to help. I tried different channels. I set it to use only 1 Mb/s. I called SMC tech support and was treated nicely -- but the answer was that the unit would not work near this phone. The cordless phone selects the channel it uses. Apparently the network is not strong enough for it to try to avoid. Changing the channel on the phone (hit the "ch" button) can get the network to work. I had to return the unit. However, I was very satified with SMC. I would definately buy from them again.

Effortless Wireless Network,

This review is from: SMC2662W 802.11b 11Mbps Wireless USB Adapter (Personal Computers)
I've got the complete SMC system- wireless router, this USB adapter for my desktop, and wireless card for my laptop. All perform flawlessly and were a snap to install. A friend bought the same system. He had one problem with installation which tech support at SMC cleared up in 3 minutes. This is a quality company.

Win98 and this device work great,

This review is from: SMC2662W 802.11b 11Mbps Wireless USB Adapter (Personal Computers)
I have been looking to go wireless for months. I reviewed the reviews on Amazon and other sites. I made the decision to go with SMC products (and their prices just dropped). I hooked up the SMC7004AWBR in place of a Netgear (LAN only) product and I had internal network connection almost automatically. The setup went smooth. I also hooked up a SMC2632W into a laptop (no special card needed, directly into the PCMCIA slot). I had to download the utility from SMC because the disk supplied was bad. Setup went smooth. Then loaded the USB device SMC2662W to another older desktop. It found the access point after following the setup steps provided. I was cruising the net and very happy.I can watch videos from the net and play MP3s located on my other computer. The access point is connected to DSL and lan to another desktop. The older slower desktop shows performance drain when other networked computers are accessing files from it. The computers connected range from 200mHz to 900mHz. Plus my kids can do playhouse disney with ease and no wires to run to their desktop. The access point is two walls and 250 feet away from the 2662W and I get 70% and up connection. I am very satisfied and recommend SMC and Amazon and Win98 or newer. Everything has been running about a month. Also downloaded the latest firmware then instituted the access control feature on the SMC7004AWBR and tested it, it worked as promoted. Yet to do encryption feature. Ultimately very satisfied. Update: I have the wireless network running for over 1 month and it is working great. The DSL modem had two problems unrelated to the network during the 1 month while the wireless and wired PCs continue without a hiccup. The USB device gets much better connection speed than the PCMCIA card. There is firmware upgrade but I have not installed it since all is working fine. Still very happy.
