I purchased this product a month ago, does not work at all. Technical support was horrible, I finally decided to return it.

The product claims to be plug and play. While my computer recognized the new hardware immediately and the drivers were installed, I could not get the product to work. A call to the manufacturer yielded no results as they indicated it was probably a computer problem. I have since purchased a D-Link USB DSB-650TX ethernet adapter and installed with no problems. While the cost was higher, I'm up and running. That's worth the extra $$ to me

Installed in less than a minute, and has been working perfectly.
Quick install guide is small, but easy to follow, and clear. Sturdy end connect for cat-5.

I am using this on the kids computer rather than installing an ethernet card. It is hooked up to a router in order to share a broadband connection. It is on a Windows ME machine. When I plugged it in it prompted me to load the drivers, loaded them, rebooted, and worked right away. I later had some problems with the dialer from our old dial up ISP interfering with the broadband connection, but removing the dialer solved them. I definitely would recommend this item.

I've been using this product on my laptop for about two years now and I've never had a problem. The Cat5 plug is sturdy so that it won't get broken like on some other models. I've used this product on Win98 and Win2k and it worked fine on both.
