Bad hardware

white Reviewed By: jpetz2001 on 2/9/2010
Rating + 1
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Its cheap.
Cons: Being that its cheap I suppose I should have known better. Installed under windows 7.. windows installed the driver OK (or so it said). Doesn't see any wireless connections, and the Asus wireless manager utility doesn't even recognize the hardware as plugged in. Installed the new driver from the Asus website for windows 7 with no luck. Uninstalled, re-installed, nothing. Nada. Its garbage. The hardware is obviously faulty.
Other Thoughts: Thanks again for the quick shipping New Egg!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: They work great! Good connection and no need to install drivers with windows 7. They work fine for even playing online games like L4d2 when you have down time in your shop ;)
Cons: Like others have said, it is flimsy. I've had 2 customers bring them back to be because they had it in their laptop and hit the dongle somehow or another. The real problem is, is that Asus didn't actually solder the connections down and instead just pressed the leads down to the connection pads. This is easily fixed by just taking a little time and soldering the connections back on and gluing down the case. Or better yet, being careful like you should be. It technically could happen to any usb stick.
Other Thoughts: Like I said, they work great. Whether it be a laptop or a desktop, but I think these are best suited for a desktop considering how fragile they are. I'm gonna try the Asus USB-N13 since it looks like it has a little extra security around the metal part so it doesn't break as easily.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Worked great, except for 1000ms ping spike every 10-20 seconds.
Cons: Very flimsy, if you hit it while it's attached to USB, the connector breaks right off.

Dead already.
