Pros: Worked seamless out of the box. Easy, simple, no problems at all for the first five months.

Cons: Given my experience with two of these products, I highly suspect these products are built with planned obsolescence in mind. After several months, their ability to create and maintain a connection plummets out of nowhere. Tech support is unhelpful, and will not offer help after three months of ownership. I don't feel able to trust Belkin products ever again; I just want my money back.

Pros: Was really surprised to catch 5 bars of signal strength since I moved my wireless router 2 floors up. My laptop's internal antennae couldn't even get one bar so I installed this device and immediately it caught 5 bars (36 Mbps, not the full 56 G speed however, still not enough to knock an egg). For anyone considering powerline or coax solutions, I would give this little guy a shot first if 30Mbps would suffice for your needs.

Cons: none really, although I'm showing 5 bars I'm really only getting 36 Mbps but that's ok for me.

Other Thoughts: great substitute for your laptops built-in antennae if your not getting good signal. No drops yet even waking up from sleep mode.

Manufacturer Response:

Thank you for writing your review. We are happy to hear you are receiving a good signal especially through 2 floors. Please let us know if you ever have any questions or comments for us by writing customercare@belkin.com.

Pros: Doesn't look too bad

Cons: Largish, poor support, drops connection.

Had it for about 4 months working perfectly. All of a sudden drops the connection with the home network every 10 minutes or so. Have tried it in various USB ports and continues to drop connection. It's not the network because our Wii, laptops and portable internet devices do not encounter dropped connections ever.

Other Thoughts: Thought I could give bargain Belkin one more try. Oh well, guess I'll have to splurge for a NetGear or something

Pros: So easy to use. I built a brand new machine and barely had Ubuntu up and running, which I was very unfamiliar with. Didn't really know what was going on, but at least the wireless was working! Plug and go. Also seems very fast, and it finds wifi networks much faster than my macbook's built-in wireless card.

Cons: The devise itself is just slightly too wide. Depending on your usb port setup, it could block adjacent ports. I had to rearrange my cables so that it was next to my incredibly small mouse usb plug, and the two were still touching.

Manufacturer Response:

Cons: None.

Pros: The device seemed to work well. There was nothing to complain about it working on the 2.4GHz frequency band.

Cons: I purchased the item because I wanted a 5GHz frequency band adapter to connect to my dual-band router, but the device could not see any 5GHz networks.

Other Thoughts: After further research, I could not find one other website, including Belkin's, that stated this device worked on the 2.4GHz/5GHz frequency band. I don't know where Newegg got this information, but it is misleading and very disappointing. Now I have to RMA and get less than half of the cost of the device back because it wasn't what it was advertised to be... Not happy with Newegg on this one.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello Stewart,

Thank you for writing your review. The model you purchased the F9L1002 is not a dual band adapter and will only work on the 2.4ghz band. The F9L1101 is the N600 model and will work on both the 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Please let us know if you ever have any questions or comments for us by writing customercare@belkin.com.

Best Regards,
Belkin Support
