Digital camera reviews of Linksys WUSB11 Wireless-B USB Network Adapter v4
Digital camera Review: A cheap and quick way to take your desktop wireless.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these for my neighbor so he could connect to my DSL and I was very pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Since he was using Windows XP the setup was completely configuration free. Just plug it in and Windows does the rest. As for the range it was going past 4 walls and a breeze way; 3 apartments down with barely a loss of signal strength. I would seriously recommend it.Digital camera Review: A clever and delightful little device

So far, I've bought three of these (two version 2.6, one version 2.8). The first two worked flawlessly with Windows ME, Windows 98 SE, and Windows XP. The wireless monitor program (included) actually works better on Windows 98 and Windows ME than does the built-in wireless network software in Windows XP (at least with this device), but both WUSB11s worked well in both environments. The third one (version 2.8) had a problem of some sort; it would work for a while, then drop off the network (while still thinking it was connected and working fine, but even pings wouldn't get through, outgoing or incoming) then reconnect and work for a short while, then drop off again, and so forth. It did the same on two different systems (Windows 98 SE on one, Windows XP Home on the other), so I arranged a swap via the Linksys web-site, and the replacement unit is now working flawlessly (so far, anyway). Very easy installation (just follow the directions, and notice they're very different between pre-XP versions of Windows and the various flavors of Windows XP).Digital camera Review: A complete nightmare of a product!!!

Linksys was constantly causing my PC to reboot. Anytime I tried to get on the internet, my PC would shut down and reboot ... sometimes 5 times before it would let me on. When I called for customer support, I spoke with people in India who gave zero help. They blamed it on Microsoft or AOL. I finally bought a different brand and have had NO problems with rebooting ever since I removed Linksys.Digital camera Review: A few kinks starting up, but works like a charm

It was a little hinky out of the gate, but eventually made peace with my router and now everyone's happy. I actually think the initial setup problems were related to interference issues. Since moving the adapter a few feet further from my speakers (which contain magnets and thus create interference with the wireless signal), it's been great.One caveat... Linksys tech support is very hit and miss. The first guy I talked to was an [unknowledgable person] who any created additional problems that shut down my whole network for an afternoon. The next guy I talked to was awesome.
Digital camera Review: A great little unit.

Installing on a Gateway box with XP Media Center, I had no problems whatever. We were up and connected within minutes of opening the box. Considering the price, this was a great little unit.
