I was up and running in 10 minutes.......2007-03-03

I installed the included software and I was up and running within 10 minutes. The signal to my router with strong and I could even use my neighbor's network. Their config utility is easy to use.

It seems to work well when kept away from my computer's monitor. Less noise I guess.

Worked for me!.......2007-03-03

This product worked well for me. I see people were having a number of computer issues, but I got the latest drivers online they worked well. The connection was stable and fast.

Blue screen of death.......2006-11-15

I'm using this device with Windows XP Media Center Edition v2002, SP2 on a HP Pavilion P4, 3GHz, 1GB of RAM.

I get the bluescreen when connecting to another PC on my network and attempting to transfer files. Needless to say this thing is not reliable.

I believe the USB design is flawed, I'm going to switch to the PCI model.

Terrible ....don't waste your time.......2006-10-14

There is a known issue with this router that Motorola has not spent any time fixing. It will crash your computer if you are running XP or Media Edition. The failure is the blue screen of death stating the wind502u error. This is the driver for the adapter.
Look somewhere else for a nice adapter, don't be fooled by the looks or price of this Motorola adapter.

best adapter yet.......2006-10-08

i have had this adapter for over 2 years and i am about a football field and a half away from the router and going through brick walls this little thing has been the best i have seen it holds its own at the distance i am still getting anywhere from half to full signal strength on it i think some of thes cry babys here just dont know what they are doing when it comes to useing this adapter because all these problems they are talking about have not happened to me even once matter of fact i am useing it right now and it has full powere best bang for you buck
