2.0 out of 5 stars Not supported on 64-bit operating systems, October 3, 2009

By	James Marks - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This device is a repackaged Ralink USB adapter.

Ralink supports a 64-bit environment on their drivers, but the shipped Buffalo driver CD will not launch in Vista 64.

Note: This is NOT a driver incompatibility, it is sheer laziness on Buffalo's part coding their installer.

Pass on this version of the device if you have a 64-bit OS. You can find the exact same device under other names very easily.

And shame on you Buffalo for not responding to the myriad of forum posts on this issue, especially since this is a very simple problem to resolve as the 64-bit drivers are right there on Ralink's site. Just a pain for non-technical types to get installed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buffalo N Wifi Dongle, September 24, 2009

By	E. Antonson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this to supplement the internal wireless card on my HP computer that stopped working(don't buy HP), which was a draft n card. The speed of the dongle is great and on par with what my internal card was. One thing I did notice is that the buffalo appears to have better reception than the other one did. I consistently have one more bar than I used to. Set was really easy if you follow the directions and I was up and running in no time. The only issue I have is tha now occasionally pages won't load, but usually I just have to refresh the page and its fine. Also the device barely stick out of the computer once plugged in. It doesn't even stick out further than the battery pack on the back of my HP Tx1000 series laptop(again don't by this or the tx2000 series, they both have same faulty motherboards and power supplies creating my problem, common with this series). Also since I have a n speed router I set up the wifi adapter to be able to switch the mhz range it uses to take advantage of this. Its all part of the set up program. If you are getting only "g" speeds check that, because it defaults to the lower level setting. Hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to setup. Good reception. Compact., July 31, 2009

By	BeepBeep (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

Wanted to get something that doesnt project out from our laptop after our wireless card died out. This ultra compact USB wireless adapter is awesome. So far my 3 year old has not knocked it out of the laptop and the reception is good as expected. Running it on 802.11g.
