Summary: Worked Great With TiVo
Review: Set up was a breeze and everything works great. Two TiVo's in the house and had to hook the one up in the bedroom to the network. Plugged it in, rebooted the TiVo, entered the network information and bam... No cables. Very Very Easy.

Summary: Horrible! Don't buy!
Review: Don't waste your money on this piece of garbage!!! I've had so many problems with this things it's ridiculous! Despite calling customer service three times, this this just doesn't work properly. It constantly finds "new networks" around my neighborhood and kicks me offline each time. I'm throwing mine away and buying from a different company! My friend has the same problem with his. Also, the User Manual is completely useless!!! Stay away from Linksys

Summary: Almost worked with xp
Review: I had it going for about 36 hours. Unfortunately when I returned after 4 hours, it was unable to send. Yet I was able to ping my computer using both a computer on the same network, and even using my cell phone. But not even my firewall was able to detect any outbound activity. So I returned it.Some other problems I found was xp seemed to lose the card, and using detect new hardware would not even detect it. I ended up having to uninstall and reinstall. There are just way too many issues that were similiar to when I tried version 2.6 with 98.

Summary: It is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH XP -NO CUSTOMER SERVICE
Review: If you know the workings of computers intimately, this might work for you. It is NOT easy to use this adapter with XP. I spent 7 days trying to reach Linksys through online and phoneline - never got through. I used every technique in their support pages and it still didn't work. XP keeps defaulting, you have to disconnect integrated components, reconfigure settings and change channels and that's just the tip of the iceberg- it finally worked for about 10 minutes then crashed. I had two PC's working beautifully using NetGear's adapter but the third PC that I tried to add to my network with this Linksys adapter - forget it! I feel like they owe me money for my frustration.

Summary: XP and this Linksys USB just don't get along
Review: After struggling with the installation setup for a day and waiting for the Technical support, I finally went on the Linksys support website via my wired LAN connection. The Knowledge database indicated that this device has some technical issues with XP and requires "try and error". I have another XP at home with D-Link PCI wireless adapter and it is working just fine. So I decided to not spend more time to troubleshoot this one anymore and return the adapter instead.

Summary: Good device, some Windows 2000 frustration
Review: Summary:
1) If you get v3.0 of this adapter, it works great in XP with the built-in "Wireless Zero Config"
2) If you get v3.0 of this adapter and you're having trouble in Windows 2000, read below: I had been wrestling with a problem with the WUSB11 v3.0 adapter for the last 3 days. I was finding that it first worked in Windows 2K, then in XP, then never again in 2K. The behavior was that the WLAN monitor kept saying that the device was "not installed" or "inactive" even though Windows clearly saw the adapter (it showed up as installed correctly in the Device Manager). I noticed that I was getting an error message in the Win2K Event Log from the PCANDIS5 service that "path is invalid". The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCANDIS5\ImagePath had a directory that did not exist! It was "\??\C:\PROGRA~1\WUSB11~1\PCANDIS5.SYS". This appears to perhaps be an old location of PCANDIS5 maybe in an older version of the driver. I changed the value to "\??\C:\WINNT\system32\PCANDIS5.SYS", rebooted, and the WUSB11 works perfectly now on all my Win2K machines!! I hope this helps someone else out and prevents them from having to spend 3 or more days on this problem. Besides this, this USB adapter seems to be very good.

Summary: 5 Minute Setup
Review: I set this up on a PC running XP in less than 5 minutes. Just follow the installation directions on the card for XP. In summary, plug in the USB cord and the XP installation wizard asks for the CD to install the driver. Next you type some requested information on security settings and you are up and running. I'm using a Linksys wireless access point located about 50 feet away on a lower floor. This is a lot easier than running CAT5 cable all over your house. Very good connection speed. Great product, highly recommended.

Summary: Is this thing on?
Review: Bought this product about 3 months ago. I got it to work for about a week. It worked on Win2K and XP, on laptops and PCs. Then one day it started having problems communicating with my wireless router. Keep in mind, I have a top of the line WRT54G (802.11b/g) Linksys Wireless router. So you would think it would certainly be compatible with the same brand Linksys WUSB11 802.11b. Well maybe, but it hasn't made up it's mind yet. I am getting "can't associate with access point" in the WLAN "Moniter" software, despite having no WEP encryption and SSID broadcast enabled on the WRT54G. The WRT54G router is squawking all default settings and NO WEP (yet), and the WUSB11 is set up to accept everything just as the WRT54G broadcasts it...BUT... All I get now is "cannot associate with access point" message in the WLAN "Moniter". It would appear to me that since the WRT54G can communicate with any other wireless device I have, that the WUSB11 has decided it's not talking with my router any more, no matter what laptop or PC it's installed on. It is so frustrating because the WUSB11 will see my wireless home network/SSID just fine (considering it's only 10-20 feet away in my apartment at any given time it should work darnit!) - even after I hit Refresh in the "moniter" console several times. It's when I hit "Connect" that I get the fateful "cannot associate with access point" again. Hmmmm.... Linksys also spelled "Moniter" incorrectly by the way, not like I care so much about that though. It would appear that this device is prone to unpredictable behavior, especially in the clear absence of any RF interference on the 2.4 band, and given the fact that I can put the WUSB11 device within 5 feet of the WRT54G router - and it STILL won't work now. This irritates me to no end because I am a computing and networking professional, so you would think this wouldn't be a problem for me...well the joke's on me, and this device and/or the "Moniter" software certainly is far from perfect. LINKSYS, *WHAT* kind of product is this? Will it ever work again? It cost me $52.00, please tell me it will! 1 star for the fact that it worked, for a while. 1 star for the fact that I like the WRT54G router, so I'll throw that in because I'm feeling hospitable.

Summary: Works great with XP
Review: Installation was a breeze. I got a brand new machine with XP home. The install instructions for 2000, ME and 98 are different and XP are a bit distinct but both easy. I had it running and connected to my home entwork in less than five minutess. I get great reception and am very happy.

Summary: A clever and delightful little device
Review: So far, I've bought three of these (two version 2.6, one version 2.8). The first two worked flawlessly with Windows ME, Windows 98 SE, and Windows XP. The wireless monitor program (included) actually works better on Windows 98 and Windows ME than does the built-in wireless network software in Windows XP (at least with this device), but both WUSB11s worked well in both environments. The third one (version 2.8) had a problem of some sort; it would work for a while, then drop off the network (while still thinking it was connected and working fine, but even pings wouldn't get through, outgoing or incoming) then reconnect and work for a short while, then drop off again, and so forth. It did the same on two different systems (Windows 98 SE on one, Windows XP Home on the other), so I arranged a swap via the Linksys web-site, and the replacement unit is now working flawlessly (so far, anyway). Very easy installation (just follow the directions, and notice they're very different between pre-XP versions of Windows and the various flavors of Windows XP).
