4.0 out of 5 stars Works fine, March 4, 2010

I got this adapter to work with a refurbished linksys WRT310N router. I am not getting true N speed probably because I am running mixed speed mode (b/g/n). My transfer speed is roughly about 2x faster than G connection but not the 5-10X I was hoping to get. Maybe I'll get better result when I switch to N only mode.

I was very skeptical about buying this for $11 but just couldn't overcome the price/value! It works absolutely fine on both Win7 and WinXP (the only OS options I tested). The user interface (for scanning for available networks) could be better, I guess, but certainly more than worth the price! The range seems to be as good or better than anything else I've used from Linksys, Netgear, or whatever and they wanted 4x or 5x the price (or more). I absolutely dig the fact that it doesn't stick way out of the PC like the other devices also.

3.0 out of 5 stars stopped working on WD HD Live Plus after a while, February 20, 2011

worked OK out of the box (non-computer literate husband installed it with no problems) and then suddenly stopped. We know it's a problem with the WD HD TV live plus, tried several things with it and finally got it working again with a corded hookup. For the price I'm going to keep this to use once we finally hook up the wireless N router I already bought.

It's a little wide for the WD box, and not on the list of supported dongles. We haven't updated the firmware yet on the WD either.
