Customer Reviews
Ive had this for a while now....
Dont just hear one side of the coin.....this is a great device for Windows XP...easy installation and fool proof, ive used it for a long time. But i am now running it on Windows Vista for about 2 months, it wouldn't install off the cd...i had to go to my Windows Old (Vista creates this when i upgraded it keeps all of your old files/programs) then i copied and pasted all the Belkin folder contents into the new directory that was created when i tried to install from the cd....worked....not ideal but it doesn't say Vista compatible anyway. Bottom line= if you have Windows XP get it. IF you have Vista DONT.....its that simple.
....hmm its been a while...its now July 2009 and this device is still working on my Vista.....i still don't get the bad reviews i still haven't had a problem with it....maybe i am just lucky enough to get a good one.....or maybe i just know what i am doing :) anyway...its a moot point now...as i going to upgrade to the N wireless adapter. My advice now is, if you cant get this puppy running, you should stick to Rj45/ CAT 5 cables :P
Worked for a week and then stopped altogether
This adapter installed fine under XP and ran faultlessly for 48hrs and then intermittently for a couple more days but then stopped working altogether after a week!!. Tried to install on another PC and different network just to make sure it was not a fault on the PC or router. Adapter was as dead as a Dodo!!
Returned for refund from Amazon (Thank you) and probably will never buy another Belkin product again.
excelent
i will back the other good review , i have been using one of these adapters for about two years, never had a problem with it at all, has been excellent and easy to use. therefore about to buy another one
