Summary: Did Not Work
Review: I was attempting to set up a desktop comptuer running Windows XP in a room separate from my office. I originally bought the Linksys PCI adapter and it never installed properly. After 6 hours on the phone with text support and 2 PCI units, I was recommended to try this unit by a sales person at the store. I brought this home and installed it. It was very simple to install and detected my router. However, it would not connect to my router. After another 3 hour with text support (who were clueless people and had very poor customer service) with this unit, I decided to return the WUSB11 and decided that maybe wireless was not going to work with this particular computer and decide to go with the Netgear XE102 Powerline Adapter. Which, I highly recommend if you are setting up a desktop or a computer that does not need to be mobile. Linksys puts out poor products and equally poor customer service. I will never buy another Linksys product if I do not have to.

Summary: Check the Cable!
Review: I am using this with Windows XP and a Linksys wireless router. The adapter works great, as long as you connect it properly. What Linksys doesn't tell you is that you have to push the USB cable into the adapter until it CLICKS. If you don't hear a click, the computer will not recognize it. Calling Linksys tech support won't resolve this problem either. They'll tell you it's dead and to send it back. But trust me, just push until it clicks.

Summary: Very small, works fine
Review: This adapter is smaller that I thought it would be. I am using it for my Tivo DVR and it seems to be working fine.I had some trouble with the initial setup, as Tivo (and my Win XP laptop) refused to recognize the device at first. But (and I know this sounds crazy) when I *reversed the included USB cable* everything worked like a charm. I know this sounds crazy, but what can I say. With a ten dollar rebate, this is a good value for the price.

Summary: it works
Review: This adapter works very well, after a very simple installation process. (I am running Win2K. Results might be different for other operating systems.) I really like the software monitor that comes with this item, which allows you to visually locate and select the access point. Nices adapter, painless setup.

Summary: Not XP compatible, buyer beware!
Review: I grudgingly use Linksys Instant Wireless series products for my wireless b/g network. This adapter worked fine on my Dell Inspiron laptop running Me, but that was not the computer I purchased it for. The whole point of a USB adapter is to be able to easily move from one machine to another. With different operating systems and this adapter, that is impossible. And Linksys' "tech support," don't even get me started on that nightmare...

Summary: DOA--practically from day one
Review: This adapter was great when I first got it and installed it. However, after about 2-3 months, I started having problems with it. Imperceptibly, I started getting slower and slower connections to the Internet--especially when switching pages. We tried everything: moving and relocating the wireless router and the wireless adapter, changing channels. You name it, whatever Linksys asked me to try, I tried. Soemtimes the problem seemed to go away for a brief while but it always returned. Tech support was superb when it came to giving advice trying to fix the problem. Tech support was NOT superb when it came to recongizing (or at least advising me) that I might have an intermittent problem and/or a failing unit. After thinking I had a OS problem (Win 98 SE) or software conflicts, I finally re-formatted my hard drive and installed Win XP. In the taskbar, Win XP showed me that my adapter had excellent signal strength but it alternated in also showing me that a "Network Connection is not available". The tech representative today first advised me that that means I have a defective unit and the symptoms I was describing were classic "defective unit". And guess what? I think that I'm now just out of the warranty period. Long and the short of it: If you experience ANY problems with this product, insist on an RMA IMMEDIATELY. Don't assume that the problem is OS-related or "signal strength" related or being caused by an RF signal conflict or is being caused by a popular web site's server is being overloaded with viewer requests. I'm very disappointed in my experience with this product and the Linksys support since it was obvious from the start that I probably had a defective unit and Linksys did not suggest an RMA anyway along the way.

Summary: Good Product
Review: I just bought my second WUSB11 (ver 2.6) network adapter becuase the first installed without any problems on a Windows XP machine. The second will also be installed on Windows XP machine. The only issue you really have to worry about it using XP to load the drivers for the adapter. The instructions actually tell you not to use XP to recognize the hardware. If you do, you have to make sure you use the drivers provided by the CD and the ones from XP. Once you've loaded the drivers, I made sure the eithernet card and modem were disabled (to avoid any unexpected conflicts with XP) and the security features set up. I Made sure my wireless router (WRT54G) was broadcasting and the adapter so it quickly. I consistently had excellent connection status from the adapter. The tricky part is making sure you actually have a connection with your router before trying to play with the security settings. The WEP security setting can also be tricky because you force the user to put in the access code to access the network. Many people don't play with it because its more trouble than it's worth. I also found that the adapter works even after I have gone back to my router and disabled the SSID broadcast. I went ahead and added the adapter's MAC ID to my router so it could recognize the computer when it tried to access the network. The only thing I have to figure out is out to allow the computer (with the adapter) to access my network without having to broadcast the router's SSID.

Summary: Seamless
Review: I had this adapter installed in about 10-15 minutes and after testing for speed on the net, found it just a tinch slower than my wired connection downstairs. I pull in about 1.6 mbts downstairs (wired to wireless router) and I'm pulling in about 1.4 mbts upstairs (distance about 80 feet). I recommend it highly.

Summary: Connection Losses
Review: Every 5 minutes or so, the connection just ends and starts. It works as advertise but these disconnections are annoying, i cannot download anything at all. Does the same for all my friends.
