Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter
Digital camera Review: Did not work for me!
Summary: 1 Stars
This may have been a problem with my PC or Compatability with Vista, but the device never stayed connected to internet. I have returned the device, and had the local telecom carrier install a dedicated line.Digital camera Review: Do not buy this product

This is a terrible product and the tech support is useless. I spent three days and multiple calls to tech support to get this thing to work and they had me do everything possible under the sun--click this button, change that setting, unplug this wire, bring in another laptop, get a new ethernet cable, touch your nose with your tngue (ok, I made that last one up)--but nothing worked. The Linsys forums are replete with the "bugginess" of this this product. Save your time. Save your money. Buy something else--anything else.Digital camera Review: Don't buy this if you have Vista

Wow, I'm taken aback as to how poor this product is, and how poor Linksys tech support is. I had multiple problems with this device. The good news is that when it works, the signal is strong (with a Linksys WRT300N router) and fast (270mbps). However, the PC won't even BOOT with this device plugged in. Once you turn the machine off, the only way to get it to boot is to unplug the WUSB300N. Linksys tech support's only suggestion was to reinstall the driver, which I did several times. No luck. In addition, if the PC goes into sleep mode, when it wakes up, the WUSB300N does not wake up. Only recourse is to unplug and replug it in. The tech support was absolutely horrible. Don't buy this thing unless you have several hours to waste for no reason or benefit.
I bought ANOTHER one of these after Linksys told me mine was defective. Guess what? I tested the new one on 3 different machines (2 desktops, 1 laptop) and ALL of them did the exact same thing. 1) They wouldn't boot with this adapter plugged in, 2) When the PC goes to sleep mode the adapter goes to sleep FOREVER (the only way to recover is to reboot), and 3) if you play music or movies, this adapter causes the playback to stutter for several seconds each minute. These issues are posted all over Linksys' forums, but tech support denies any of them exist, and actually suggested that I had purchased TWO separate defective units. Yeah right.
Digital camera Review: Excellent addition

Since I have a Linksys Wireless N router and now need a little more distance and strength than the built-in wireless G in my computer I decided to try this, despite the cost. My throughput is now twice my nearby wired connection, over 200k bps! Dependable strong signal and it goes further!
I recommend purchase for those needing higher and stronger connections, especially if you already have the Linksys Wireless-N router.

I use the Linksys WRT150N Wireless N Router at home with my PS3 and 2 computers. I use the Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter (the item being reviewed) with my desktop since the router is in a different room and I don't want to run cables. I have a wireless G card for my laptop, but I switch to the USB adapter when I'm not using it on my desktop because it gets a much stronger signal and faster downloads than the card. In short, I love it. Being on a USB cable and having a stand, you can either plug it directly into the computer, or set it a little bit away from the computer for better positioning.
