Summary: Cute and worked immediately
Review: After struggling with an older D-link PCI card, I decided to try out this MS 510 adapter. Usually, the PCI card should be a bit faster, but I had always struggled with my old one and the software was still not XP-certified.The MS box hooked right up and worked immediately and some of the problems I had with throughput and stop/starts disappeared. This is a very cute unit - tiny and requiring no power supply other than from the USB. Just be aware that it must be a powered USB port (like most computers) and not an unpowered hub. My throughput rate was over 600k up and down which is very close to my actual broadband capacity - very pleased with it!

Summary: MS should stick to software
Review: Broadband connection software is great. Wireless connectivity is low to non-existent. If you are having problems with reception or dropouts steer clear from this unit. After having trouble with Linksys equipment, I tried the MS equipment and it performed much worse or not at all.

Summary: Works, looks good, what more could you ask?
Review: Compared with most other USB wireless adapters, the MN-510 is small and looks good. And it works very well too. I installed it in seconds with my Windows XP system and it worked flawlessly from the start. What more could you ask?

Summary: disappointed
Review: Got it in a local store together with the MS router. As a software engineer, I consider this adapter setup to be extremely difficult. (provided if you try to turn on the wireless security feature). The router itself is good though. Once I get it working, the software indicates connection is excellent while the speed is way below the wired connection. I am not sure where went wrong but the speed is really bad even I have a cable modem connection. I'd want to try a different brand.

Summary: Easy Easy Easy & Excellent Customer Service
Review: I bought this wireless USB adapter in conjuntion with the Microsoft wireless base station and found it easy, easy, easy to install. Installation went seamlessly. It's fast. A few weeks later, however, I had trouble setting up file sharing when I added a new desktop with XP Home (I am using XP Pro on my other PC) to my existing network. I called their tech support who was EXCELLENT and not only got my network back up but transferrred me to the XP Home tech who assisted me with the file sharing. They even followed up with a call and an email! Wow! Who gets customer service like that these days! I have recently added an older laptop to my network using this same USB adapter (since it cannot accomodate a wireless card) and it works great! You want a broadband network?...then buy this product!

Summary: Excellent Performance
Review: I guess I could write a really long review of this product, but just like the product is small, so is the need to describe it.. This product installs easily, works flawlessly with my Intel-branded wireless base station (which is no longer made, so I'd recommended Microsoft's wireless hub), and has had zero issues since purchasing. While there are plenty of adapters to choose from, this one gets 5 stars for simplicity, performance and compatibility. If it helps, my wireless base station is in my office upstairs and the computer this adapter is hooked up to is downstairs, and the connection is perfect!

Summary: Solid performance
Review: I have had the Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless USB Adapter for almost a year and it has given me surprisingly little trouble. The setup can be a little tricky for computer novices and when there is a problem with the network, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact source of the error. However, the quality of the connection that it receives from the base station is excellent and it works well through doors and walls.

Summary: A nice piece of technology when it works right
Review: I have purchased a total of 2 of these USB adaptors for my laptops. They work fine, if you don't move them very much. However, due to the mobility of laptops, which Microsoft may have overlooked when designing this, both of the USB plugs have developed a short. If you wiggle the cable just right it works fine, but if you try and move it after that, it shorts out and stops working. Laptop users be warned

Summary: Sweet and easy...
Review: I live in a townhome with 4 bedrooms. I bought the Microsoft home base unit with 4 of these Wireless USB Adapters. We hooked up all 4 units with ease. The wizards worked flawlessly. Pretty much, all you need to do is click on "Next" and nothing else, and you're pretty much set. I have the base unit downstairs, and 3 of the USB adapters upstairs, and all of them get the reception fine... a "Very Good" rating instead of Excellent though. It's good enough to watch a movie wirelessly. Also, I have a computer hooked up to it by ethernet cables, a laptop with integrated wireless, and an Xbox hooked up. Every machine is working fine.
