1 out of 5 stars Good product, terrible seller stay away!   November 2, 2008

Got a used product instead of new. They offerred to fix it (after posting a previous review). But all attempts to connect with the "project manager" were futile.

My recommendation is stick with Amazon and stay away from [........]



2 out of 5 stars VISTA beware--Not 32-bit compatible!   October 21, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My low rating is due to the false information on the web page, namely the statement that "This product is Certified for Windows Vista." IT IS NOT certified for 64 bit VISTA systems. Pay attention to 32 bit vs 64 bit systems! I bought one of these a year ago for an XP system. Now I need the same for two new VISTA systems. I was hoping to be able to use this one and just buy one more. I researched carefully before buying a second one to see if this brand and model would work. Since I got conflicting information I even called Linksys. They too said YES, it was VISTA compatible. When trying to install I was led on a wild goose chase to find the correct driver online. Finally a second call to Syslink tech support confirmed that this adapter IS NOT compatible with 64 bit VISTA systems. Spare yourself the phone calls and the delays to get to the truth. Having disappointed two grandchildren with my "Surprise!", we are now waiting for another brand and model to come in.


2 out of 5 stars Frustrated   October 16, 2008
I purchased this Linksys Compact Wireless-G Network Adapter because my daughter broke off the plug-in part on the one I currently owned (that I previously purchased through a "big box store" 6 months earlier). The one I had worked decently anywhere in our home so instead of trying something new, I thought I would stick to what I knew worked. I WAS WRONG TO ASSUME THAT THIS WOULD WORK JUST AS MY PREVIOUS ONE HAD. I took it out of the box and plugged it in - it seemed to replace the other one with no problems... then I noticed that the new adapter can't pick up a signal... I moved all around the house for 3 days straight trying to get the signal with the new adapter. Uninstalled/Re-installed software... nothing. There are only two places in my 1,500sq ft home that this adapter can find our wireless router... and the signal is so weak I frequently lose connection. (Did I mention that I have to use the "extension cord" that is included because one of the places it works is in the center of my kitchen... so I have to hang it over a chair so I can set my laptop down on the nearby table.) I have no choice but to believe this is a quality control issue on the part of Linksys considering the volume of mixed reviews. The only reason this gets any stars is because my first one worked well.


3 out of 5 stars usb wireless-g   October 9, 2008
I'm a big fan of Linksys products. Currently I'm using this product with my desktop (ease of use). I'm currently using Fios as the ISP. The setup was extremely easy (as expected), but the range of the usb wireless-g was OK. If I had to do it over again, I would opted for a PCI card with an antena. I'm comparing my laptop built in wireless-g to the usb, and the difference in speed is remarkable. My desktop is a Quad core Q6700 as oppose to a T7250 dual core 2GHZ laptop.


5 out of 5 stars Great!   October 6, 2008
So easy to use and works great! Plan to buy a second one for another computer on our network!
