USB Port issues

Intel NUC BOXD54250WYKH1 Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Intel NUC BOXD54250WYKH1 Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: Nice Design, Small form factor, Easy to work with except 2.4Ghz wireless.

Cons: Beware if you are planning on using external wireless devices on 2.4Ghz. The USB ports create noise on the 2.4Ghz range. I tried plugging in dongles for wireless keyboard and WiFi. Neither would work. After burning a bunch of time troubleshooting I found an article from Intel acknowledging and describing the issue. Fix is to use usb extension cable to get dongles away from chassis. THERE SHOULD BE A NOTICE INCLUDED IN THE BOX INTEL!! DONT WASTE MY TIME!!!!!

Overall Review: Despite this issue I really like the machine.

Pros: None

Cons: I bought from a local shop. Product was DOA. Their website is a joke and no support available.

No 64 bit support

Pros: Works great with 32bit Windows

Cons: No 64 bit support at all

Overall Review: I have owned this unit for over a year. just upgraded to Win7 64. Unlike others, i am unable to get any drivers to work. Belkin has no 64 bit drivers for this product, not xp or vista 64.. tried CD drivers no luck... Cant believe Belkin hasnt written any 64bit drivers..boo hiss
