 Poor Reliability May 14, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Bought this adapter because it said it was certified for Windows Vista. Although I had no problems setting it up, it frequently would lose the connection to the network (despite being only 6 feet away from the router). When I felt the adapter, it was very hot. Maybe I got a bad unit, but I'm returning it and trying something else.
 NOT WINDOWS 98SE COMPATIBLE May 13, 2008

Once again Linksys disappoints.
The advertisements, packaging, and even the manual states that this is Windows 98SE Compatible.
I placed the CD in the computer, run setup and I see the following information box pop up. We are sorry this product is not compatible with Windows 98SE.
I used to count on Linksys for great products, with easy installation, and a very fair price. It is very evident that that is not the case anymore. I sure miss the old Linksys!!!
I am almost to the point of not recommending any Linksys product anymore.
 nice quality May 13, 2008
Fast speed and good quality, but it was sort of confusing to set up in the beginning. Overall is a good product.
 Installing driver crashed my machine, 2nd time worked... May 12, 2008
Moved my Dell desktop too far from the router for a wired connection, so I had to buy a USB wireless card. This fit the bill on paper, and as soon as I plugged it in, it seemingly was acquiring a signal from my wireless router (Netgear G router). I installed the drivers from the bundled CD and upon reboot, my computer would not boot up. Windows was missing some system32 file that it could not find. Let me just say that in the 3 years I've owned this desktop, this is the first problem I've ever had with it. Consequently, I had to reinstall Windows. Upon the 2nd time around, installing the drivers worked flawlessly. I'm guessing the hard disk was not totally in sound condition and installing the drivers manifested this issue, but this is purely a guess.
After using it for a few days, I noticed its reported connection speed was not at its maximum potential of 54Mbps. It was consistently reporting 1Mbps (and acting like it, too). Also, the connection would consistently drop and would require the adapter to be removed and inserted again. I moved the adapter from the back of the computer to the top of my monitor (via the bundled USB extension cable) and haven't had a problem since. Not sure if it was the change in location to grab a better connection or the extension cable's usb connection that had a better grab of the on-board usb port.
Terrible product with lousy support May 4, 2008

I bought the Linksys WUSB54GC wireless USB adapter to connect to my new Linksys WRT160N wireless router. Although I am a fairly advanced user, I could not get the adapter to stay consistently connected, even though other wireless devices in the house stayed connected flawlessly. I called Linksys technical support. They were pretty lousy, and after speaking with 5 different representatives, the product was deemed defective. I bought a D-Link DWA-130 adapter as a replacement, and it has functioned great. So, either the product was indeed defective or was an inferior product. Either way, I was not too pleased with this purchase or the support for it.
