Not too bad
- Pros: It is, in fact, capable of finding wireless B/G networks. I bought it in Fall 2006, specifically because I needed to "wardrive" for an info sec class at college. It served me well.
- Cons: Not draft-N. It died after about 2 1/2 years of service.
- Other Thoughts: I would not pay $70 for this thing. It's several years out of date technology-wise and unless you have A) some need to find wireless networks and B) a laptop that won't hold a charge (& thus can't be used with a cheaper, better adapter) I don't see the value.
Good Product
- Pros: Works very good when it works. Getting 100% with no drops.
- Cons: Well I have to say Linksys tech support was virtually worthless. Everything they had me do I had already done to no avail. I had tried 4 different USB ports up to this point, and all of them had working devices on them. After about 20 minutes the "tech" decided that my USB ports were bad even though I told them that other devices hooked up to the ports worked fine. At this point they had no idea what to do. For some reason I had accidentally clicked on Windows Update and noticed there was a SP3 for XP. Miraculously after SP3 was downloaded and a restart was done the device started working. Lots of heartache for a device that is supposed to be plug and play.
- Other Thoughts: One recommendation is not to use the drivers on the install CD. Go to the Linksys website and download the newer ones.
I have this device hooked up to my desktop. After installing the new driver from Linksys it still would not connect up. I even tried setting my router to "Disabled" for encryption and nothing happened. After trying for a little while with the Linksys Monitor and the XP Wireless I downloaded the drivers to my laptop. After doing this the device worked right away, but I did not need a new wireless device on my laptop. The only thing this proved was the device was working properly. I decided, reluctantly, to contact Linksys via chat. See cons.
couldn't be better
- Pros: I am very pleased with this product. It is everything I read about and everything that Newegg had told me while I was looking to buy it. Speedy delivery as well ty Newegg. I have to say that it has boosted my signal to double what I was getting prior to owning it. I took it with me traveling and the convienience of the finder without hookinh up the computer and walking around with the laptop in hand was great.I would definatly buy another one if I ever need one. more
- Cons: none
