Useless, useless piece of junk. .......2007-06-10

Nightmare, absoulute nightmare to set up on XP, very very flakey
operation, just won't find the network on win98se. on win2000, locks the machine if left connected when booting, when it does work, writes a file ( RtacDbg.txt ) which eventually fills up all the space on the hard-drive! How this ever got to market is beyond me. Complete waste of money. Better punting on a cheap chinese knock-off from Ebay, could not be worse than this piece of junk. --DON'T BUY!!-- --DON'T BUY!!-- --DON'T BUY!!-- --DON'T BUY!!-- --DON'T BUY!!-- --DON'T BUY!!-- --DON'T BUY!!-- --DON'T BUY!!--

Installation Issues.......2007-05-28

Was not able to install the hardware and have my laptop recognize the device. Needed to send back

Easy set up, OK connection.......2007-05-20

To set up, all it requires is sticking the USB stick into your computer, and running the software. It is pretty basic. The connection is pretty good. I would have expected it to be a bit better, as the router is just a room over in my house, but it is pretty reliable. Search around for cheaper prices, though. Amazon is definitely not the cheapest for this product.

Not easy setup if you want good connection.......2007-03-12

This has a very easy setup if you are going for decent web surfing and chatting. It is horrible if you want to go for Skype, On-line gaming, or anything that requires continuous bandwidth. It is possible, but it takes a lot of tweaking and requires you to do research for hours for all the extra downloads for stable "lag-spike free" bandwidth.

But it is ok if you want it just for websurfing.

not good until...........2007-02-03

I had this thing for 2 months and got constantly bad signal from it. It would go all the way down to 2mbps. I did not pay for a crappy b signal. I paid for a good g signal. What was wrong you ask. I had the netgear plugged directly into the back of my computer. When I used the provided usb extension cable voila I have had nothing but 54mbps since. Keep this adapter away from your computer otherwise your signal will be extremely terrible.
