OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Throw off you shackles and roam free with your data! Belkin's Draft N wireless adapter can transfer data at speeds up to 300Mbps. Because it's backwards compatible with current 802.11b/g standards it will work with most wireless networks.

The handy USB 2.0 format means you can upgrade your desktop system's network speed without having to open the case. You can plug in the adapter directly to your system or use the handy cradle.

Feel safe and secure knowing that your data is protected. You have a choice between WPA, WPA2 and WEP security schemes so you can be protected no matter what protocols your network uses.

Big Problems

white Reviewed By: on 1/6/2007
Rating + 2
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Fast, easy install, looks good.
Cons: There is an issue with this adapter when playing music in Itunes, Windows Media Player, etc. When the adapter is plugged in the music will skip and becoming choppy at random times. Once you unplug the adapter the issue is gone and music plays just fine. I spent multiple hours with a Dell Tech and Belkin Tech and nothing was resolved. I reformatted my computer several times, installed the audio drivers again, but nothing fixed the issue other than unplugging this USB adapter. There are no new drivers for this device that correct this issue. So if you like to listen to music while surfing the web this is an item you should not buy!
Other Thoughts: Maybe an updated driver will come out soon, not sure if it is worth waiting for. Belkin did not reassure me that they are working on the problem.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Fast, great price. I get great signal throughout my place. Belkin Wireless manager is easy to use as well. Easy to install.
Cons: Bulky, this is one of the larger usb wireless adapters I have seen. Also if you use it without the stand alone mount it seems a bit flimsy and can easily bend the male connector.
Other Thoughts: For 30 dollars you really cant beat this deal.

Great Wireless Desktop Adapter

white Reviewed By: Obi on 11/3/2009

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This works great on both my Vista 32bit computer and my windows 7 64bit PC. No drops while using it with Vista 32. Fast and reliable.
Cons: Had a few drops on windows 7 64bit, but once i disabled the ability for my USB ports to shut off a device to save power no more drops. Make sure you follow the instructions that came with the adapter, and use the belkin installation CD. Don't hope for windows to plug and play this for you.
Other Thoughts: Using with Wireless G network, haven't tried it with an N network.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The adapter was easy to install and works great to a point.
I also purchased a Belkin Wireless Router Item #N82E16833314033 very easy to install and works like a charm.
Cons: The only problem I have is with the wireless adapter. After the computer goes to "sleep" it loses connection and the only way to get it back is to reboot. I made 3 phone calls to Belkin Non Support in another country, what a surprise. The last call lasted over hour and I finally had to hang up. Their support is rotten.
I even Faxed their Corp. Office in Compton Ca. No response. If you expect support don't bother with Belkin.
