Piece of C%#$!.......2007-05-27

The brilliant folks at Netgear sell this lovely wireless adapter w/o the driver to run it. Of course they include in the package a big bold note saying you can download the driver from their website. But wait! The function of the wireless adapter is to connect to the Internet. Duh! No driver, no Internet! Brilliant way to save a nickel!

GOOD FOR MAC USERS.......2007-05-17

I am between Mac Book Pros and wanted to add wireless to an old iBook with no airport card. A card for this costs between $US80 and $US150. i was about to bite the bullet when I did some research and found drivers for this adapter on the Realtek website, maker of the chipset, http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

It works best on PPC Mac right up to the latest OS. I have had no problems. The GUI app from Realtek is not the best designed but for the price its ok. I have used it on a secured and unsecured, and both Mac and PC networks. Be sure to get WG111v2 which uses the chipset from Realtek.

i dont know if it works..........2007-05-09

worked but a weird deal, not sure if my computer was the problem or this thing....i cant say it is bad or good sorry...

Works great!.......2007-05-08

Can't beat the price and it works great. I do PC troubleshooting and it's nice to have an alternate way to connect when the users wireless nic fails or is misconfigured. Nice and small. Very durable.

Found this Netgear USB adapter and ordered it. Wow, it is so easy to install and the wireless signal is so stronge. It connected at 54 Mbps most the time. I ordered one after another and have three already. Try it with Windows Vista Home Premium, just in a second it found the driver from my hard drive and connected in few seconds. Very impressive for this adapter.
