2.0 out of 5 stars keeps loosing the network, April 17, 2007

By	anyone (TN) - See all my reviews

i bought this to use in my newly upgraded desktop with windows vista. it CONTINUALLY drops the wireless signal (at least every hour) - when you click to connect to a network it does not find any networks. pulling it out and pushing it back in seems to recover the network almost every time, but this is really annoying to have to do repeatedly. it is not a signal strength issue in general, as another desktop in the same room and two laptops that frequent the room have no trouble getting good signals.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of worthless plastic, June 20, 2008

By	Jason I - See all my reviews

I bought this for my job tried to get it to work but it would not register on either of my computers. Called the tech people and they also confirmed that there was a problem. Let me know that I would have to return the item. Then they had the nerve to expect me to pay to return it to them. Horrible product and service. Go with a real company that makes quality products.

1.0 out of 5 stars Smoked up as soon as it connects to USB, July 30, 2008

By	Kin Tam (Elk Grove, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have 2 of these on 2 different computers, both smoked as soon as it connected. I installed the driver first, reboot the PC, connecting the USB port, then it starts giving out burning smell. I immediately disconnect it from the USB port and put in a flash drive to verify my PC is ok. And it behaves the same on the 2nd unit on my new computer, behaved excatly the same. As soon as the PC re-boot and get to log on, it smoked. Under both cases, the USB ports on both PC are okay. Call for help to Trendnet, no comment on the issue and asked me to pay for shipping to send them back!?!?!?? I would not buy this brand for a long time. RMA# 105049 - Product Ref case # 110095 & 110097.
