Summary: Try it and you'll like it
Review: I bought my SpeedStream Wireless USB Adapter almost an year ago. I had issues about the reception, because I already tried the NETGEAR one. I had no reception with the Netgear products and when I plug the Siemens one, I was surprised. I got 60 to 66% signal against 0% by Netgear.
Bottom line is that I advice you to choose this product if you want to be most satisfied from using your internet, or network at all!

Summary: Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
Review: I bought this product a while ago because it was being clearanced out. I figured this much out from using it over the last 6 months: when the USB works, the adapter works great. When the USB doesn't work, I start tearing my hair out. The adapter needs to be unplugged at shutdown, or it won't work when you boot up. The best time to plug it in is after the system has finished booting, and you see the desktop, and the cursor is just an arrow. Do not unplug other USB devices, or it goes from working to "USB Device Not Recognized" or "USB Device has Malfunctioned". If I try to update driver, and point it to the driver directory, it can't find the driver in that directory. The range is also not as good as my Netgear usb adapter.

Summary: Worst Support Ever
Review: I bought two of these from a local store. After a few months one of them stopped working and then a few months later the other one. I wish this was the end of it. I tried to contact their support (by the way, I had registered both of them in order to receive one extra year of warranty). I was told I need to send them serial numbers in order to receive Merchandise Return Number. I did that but never received the numbers. There is absolutely no way to call them as there is no phone number on their website or any where.
I tried to contact them through email but they stopped replying to emails.
I bought these because I used to trust German engineering. Looks like they no longer care about the quality of their products.
I switch to buying NetGear products from a local store.

Summary: Never worked
Review: I followed the instructions to ignore the warnings related to the uncertified driver on an Windows XP system and when I tried to set the wireless configuration through the WinXP Zero Configuration Utility, my brand new PC crashed with a memory dump. Repeated tries with different settings etc. gave the same result. Thanks to Amazon's liberal return policy, I returned it and ended up buying a Linksys USB adapter (WUSB11) which worked great out of the box.

Summary: Poor compatability, unhelpful support
Review: I got the 1022 to connect a desktop machine to my Orinoco wireless network. It looked to be the ideal match of price and ease of use. Unfortunately, it didn't work.The network already has several machines already on it, including several laptops with different wireless cards. But try as I might, I couldn't get the 1022 to work with the network. It saw it. It even turned "green". But I couldn't as much as ping another machine on the network, even after setting the network configuration manually. I've worked a fair amount with wireless and it just wasn't to be. The box prominantly displays "24/7 Support". That would be their website. If you want to talk to a human, you need to call during their "12/5" window. I was basically told that once the box could see the network, their job was done. They only helped with hardware, not configuration. So why two stars? Well, except for not working, the 1022 was easy to set up and had a well designed utility. Support, while not helpful, answered quickly, was professional and didn't waste time pretending they would help. The Orinoco is an older base station. I do use WEP. So the setup is a bit tricky. I'm not surprised I ran into problems with non-Orinoco equipment (though my Mac works fine with it). Would have been a nice piece if it had worked.

Summary: This is an outstanding wireless adapter
Review: I have installed and used three of these adapters on 2 desktop machines and 1 laptop, running Win98, Win2000, and WinXP. The adapter is extremely easy to install, the wireless utility is very informative and intuitive, the adapter has good range and looks good. I recommend it very highly!

Summary: Rock Solid
Review: I have owned this adapter for 3 months or so, and not once has it dropped its connection. Not once. I use it with a speedstream SS2624 router, about 50 feet away and through 2 walls. Setup is easy as pie under windowsXP

Summary: The best USB Wireless Adapter
Review: I have used several different brand Adapters, this is the best one. It has much stronger signal than PCI Wireless adapter.

Summary: Siemens USB Wireless Adapter works well on 2 computers
Review: I needed a wireless adapter for two different computers - one new XP laptop and one PII desktop on 98SE. I tried a NetGear MA101 and spent most of a day with two professionals trying to get it to work - no luck. Then I bought the Siemens SS1022 Wireless USB Adapter and had both computers online wirelessly in less than 40 minutes with 128 bit WEP enabled. The adapter is about 30 feet and two walls away from a NetGear MR814 Access Point. The adapter comes with a nice LAN utility which shows up as an icon in the system tray when the adapter is plugged in and disappears when you unplug it. Great item and easy to set up and monitor.
