Summary: Works well as expected
Review: I bought this adapter for my laptop. It works as advertised.- Simple and sturdy USB connector design (comparing to the common PCMCIA type which has very flimsy connector). - Very easy to install, but if you still use Window 98, you may need to have the original Win98 CD on hands to complete the installation - Inexpensive and its five years warranty means lifetime in the computer world. Just don't step on it I think it will outlast the computer. Highly recommended.

Summary: Immediate Success
Review: Purchased this product for my girlfriends Windows XP Pro laptop. I put the driver CD in, plugged the adaptor into the USB port, spent 2 minutes installing and it worked. No configuration or compatability problems. The only minor drawback is even though the adaptor is connected at 100Mbps if you only have a USB 1.0 port you won't get extreamly fast speeds. Nothing that she will worry about just browsing the web though.

Summary: Netgear Equals Superb Service
Review: This holiday season I was a good santa and purchased numerous wireless networking products for my various family members. Sure it was partially a selfish act as I wanted to be able to easily connect when I went to visit, but for the most part it was just an act of giving. I purchased mainly G products and they varied from routers to USB adapters to PC Card adapters. I did also purchase a couple of B products for those in the family that already had some wireless networking products (yes, I know they are backwards compatible but I didn't want to take any chances).
Only two members of the family had installation problems (considering my family is very non-technical I was quite impressed) and those two people both had yet to upgrade to Windows XP SP2. The rest of the family members were up and running within minutes.
As for the couple of family members that did have problems, well they called me first (of course) and I told them to just run back through the installation procedure again. This solved the problem for Uncle Dennis but Grandma Joyce still couldn't get it to work properly. I reluctantly told her to call Netgear's technical support (hey the reviews on Amazon haven't been too pretty for their tech support). I however was quite pleased when an hour later I got an email from Grandma Joyce thanking me for the great gift. I called her back and she told me that after fiddling with the settings with the Netgear people she was up and running within 30 minutes.
Overall, I consider this the ultimate test of product quality and support and I would give Netgear two thumbs up.
I hope this review was helpful to you in putting your mind at ease regarding ease of setup and trust of technical support if needed.
