Pros: Come one people, any one that expects the driver CD wit this should just not be buying it. It just means your expectations are out of whack! This is a recerted $40 Wireless adapter, for 9 bucks shipped! Deal with the little inconvienences that come with it for petes sake. lol. I have gottentwo of these and both work with out issue. The software is a little quirky, but hey, again, $9, what shold one expect.

Cons: The biggest con is having to read poeple's reviews expecting a full blown wireless adapter kit for a recert price! Some newbs just need theeee biggest dope slap sometimes.

Overall Review: Here's the link for the drivers: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/713/kw/WG111v2/r_id/166 I know a friend of ours posted it earlier, but just wanted to bump it so people will know prior.

Pros: No lost connections, doesn't get any hotter than a stick of DDR400 RAM, warm but not hot. (I just love reviews that state how wore out some folks PC's are). Plugged in USB port, nice fit not loose at all. :) Just follow Directions and besure to get Version 3 (v3)

Cons: If your PC is basicly against the wall (back side), then plan on pulling away from the wall if you'll be plugging this in a rear USB port. About 3" long "not really a Con" just a good chance to mess up something if your moving your case and hit it on something.

Overall Review: I just ordered three more :) , In an earlier review I stated lagg due to the fact that the PC I installed this on is about 6 years old and has only 256Mb DDR400 PC3200 CL3 RAM. 54Mbps Is fast for for anything My ISP only goes up to 12Mbps currently at 1.5Mbps (download)... yuk

Pros: Works... well. Had a card from Encore; it died in 6 months but never was very good to begin with (max of 11 megs/s thru). With this stick I get up to 20 megs/s thruput, i can achieve a maximum of 32 megs/s hardwired (which I would always opt for if possible!). That is from about 20 feet away with an old wgr614v7 netgear router I got for twenty bucks 5 yrs ago at staples. So, for $29 for the NIC/router combo, netgear has done me very proud.

Cons: Re-ceritified so it doesn't even come with the driver disc, which will be a pain if you have no other means of internet handy. Here is the link: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/713/kw/WG111v2/r_id/166 for the support page with download on page or ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/wg111v2_3_4_0.zip for the direct file location. Nitpicking: Slightly larger than I anticipated (first USB NIC ive bought). About an inch wide so it could cover an adjacent USB slot - no biggie for me really.

Overall Review: Hope I helped somebody. Bottom line - performance is absolutely great for 9 bucks shipped.

Pros: Works as Advertised; Automatically detected and configured by Windows 7, Ubuntu Karmic, Linux Mint 6 & 7 (YMMV), Works under Nubuntu and Backtrack 4 with minimal configuration. Wouldn't even know it was a refurb if not for Newegg.

Cons: Not free ;)

Overall Review: Definitely worth the buy, Thanks to Newegg for making the purchase process simple and straightforward!

Pros: Very cheap. Comes with a USB extension chord.

Cons: Works intermittently. Extremely flaky connections. Gets hot.

Overall Review: It's cheap enough, but the most frustrating thing about this adapter is, it's bipolar. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't. Even when it connects, it doesn't work half the time. If this adapter ever comes back in stock, do yourself a favor and pass up on it. It is really not worth the risk in getting a dud like mine. I'm running Windows XP Pro 32-bit. I'm sure the drivers are as mature as they can get, which leads me to believe the hardware should have never passed recertification.

Pros: Works out of the box in Ubuntu since at least 9.10. I assume it will work in other linux distributions as well. Comes with USB extension cable.

Cons: Width can block access to adjacent USB ports if you don't use the extension cable.

Pros: -Once you get it to work, it works well. -Portable. If you have more than 1 PC without a wireless connection, you could move it back and forth.

Cons: -wouldn't work properly with the extension cable. Had to plug it directly into USB slot. -Netgear software is questionable. Wireless works better for me using Windows XP to connect. -Sometimes Windows wont detect it at startup unless I unplug it and then plug it back in to the USB slot.

Overall Review: My first try at a HTPC was such a success with the whole family that I never get to use it, so I hooked up an old PC to the TV in the basement and now I have my own cheap HTPC. This does the job as the wireless connection.

Pros: - Small, portable - Comes with a USB extension cable - Blue LED light is very noticeable, you can tell if it's actually on or not - Doesn't drop connections - Strong signal strength - Plug n' Play Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) (32-bit)

Cons: - Like what many other previous reviewers have said, this adapter does get warm - No driver CD, but since it's refurbished, I wasn't expecting one. But to those who are depending on having one of these, you'll have to have a wired connection or another working card in place before you can install this one

Overall Review: i don't know how well this adapter works in Windows since I'm a Linux user. Ubuntu compatible
