The adapter works flawlessly, allowing me to connect to either the mixed 2.4GHz or pure-N 5GHz radio on the WRT400N. Signal strength, as expected, is better over distance for the 2.4GHz band. But it's still good for 5GHz. At 30+ feet on the same floor with two walls in between, the 5GHz radio routinely showing a connection at 160-240Mbps (although at 2.4GHz at the same distance, it's routinely at 270-300Mbps).
The desktop stand for the USB-form factor adapter is solid and appreciated, as it makes it easy to position the adapter for a desktop computer. The stand and adapter are glossy black, with a blinking blue light showing operation.
The major flakiness (and what cost this adapter a star) is the installation wizard software.
I removed the old wireless adapter and followed the Linksys adapter instructions as written. When it came to confirming that the adapter was installed correctly, the installation software displayed an error message saying it may not be. I hit Retry (as the wizard suggested), and after a couple of minutes got the same message. However, the Wireless Network Connection icon in Windows XP showed a working connection throughout. I exited the so-called "wizard" and finished configuration manually with no problems.
But it appears Linksys simply can't do decent installation software. I had similar problems with the WRT400N router install, which I also had to complete manually. I have to wonder if the Linksys software only assumes a new install without previous wireless equipment and a network, and fails when it finds any existing wireless network that's being upgraded.
(One tip, by the way, that applies to Windows XP: If you get an error when connecting stating, "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you onto the network," you'll need to go into the Properties for that particular wireless network connection in Windows and uncheck the box "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network.")
All in all, a good piece of N adapter hardware with flexible 5GHz and 2.4GHz operation. A poor piece of installation software that should be avoided. Either use the CD, as others have suggested, just to install the needed drivers when prompted after plugging in the adapter, or try the installation software and be prepared to complete the configuration manually if you have problems.
I installed this adapter on the back of my new desktop Windows XP machine (the wired cradle is helpful, too, should you need to position the receiver for better reception). I opted for a wireless network, rather than running cable through the walls, and I think it was a good decision. I ran the installation disk to get the drivers, and when I plugged in the adapter, it picked up the signal immediately. It has its own wireless configuration utility, and it makes it easy to identify and connect to any nearby networks. I'm in a small condo complex, and I'm pulling in more network signals with this little guy than my girlfriend's Mac notebook. So, it seems to be a good choice if you're in a crowded building, or if you need extended range out of your Wi-Fi receiver.
The wireless connection has so far been rock-solid. I'm only connected over G (Netgear WGR-614v8 from a broadband Cable modem), and I haven't even noticed that I'm wireless. I am one floor above the router, and I have full-bars signal all day. I get remarkable and reliable download and uploads speeds, and I haven't experienced any disconnects that I've noticed. I can fly around Google Earth seamlessly.
I'll report back if my opinion changes once I hook up with the Wireless N router. My only complaint might be the price. It's not the cheapest USB-N adapter out there, but I went with the good reviews. I'd imagine the prices on all of the N equipment will drop very soon, once the standard becomes official.
A final update: I've been using the adapter with a D-Link wireless-N router for a few months now. It has worked perfectly. It is one floor up, directly above the router, so the connection is no problem. The speed is unquestionably fast. I've seen some really quick transfer rates from my cable modem. The effect is exactly what I wanted--as if it were a wired connection.
I would have awarded this product 5 stars if online Tech Support was more user-friendly or if my telephone conversation with Linksys Support had been more productive. Once again, Amazon customer reviews proved more helpful than the manufacturer of the item!
