Digital camera reviews of Linksys WUSB11 Wireless-B USB Network Adapter v4
Digital camera Review: Awesome product
Summary: 5 Stars
When I purchased this item, I was kind of scared, because there are many bad reviews on this item. I opened the package, hooked it up to my computer, and it didn't work. At this point I hated myself for spending my money on this, because I thought that it would never work. So I called the technical support 800 number, and they didn't know how to fix it so they sent me to a senior support member. It took a while for one to become available, but once he did, I felt very nicely because I knew that he was experienced. After about 40min. I was up and running. The adapter is faster than I expected for being 3 rooms and one floor away. I am using dsl, and it is as fast as having a direct connection to the router with an ethernet cable. I am very impressed with this product. I am especially pleased with it being small and able to be moved around so I can get the best connection. I placed mine on the top of my monitor. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to go wireless with a small amount of money to work with.Digital camera Review: Awesome, worked right out of the box
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Linksys wireless cable/dsl router, which I use only to share internet connections among pc's in my house. Set up was easy -- the instructions were clear and accurate. More impressive is the ease with which wireless clients can see the network and just hop on.For example, I use an Apple iBook, and I was hesitant to get an Airport card, worried that I'd have problems getting it to see the pc-based Linksys router. I know that 802.11b is supposed to be "compatible" across the board, but ... well, we all know how that works (or doesn't work!) sometimes. Nevertheless, I took the chance, and everything worked perfectly. The Airport card saw the network immediately, and I was on the internet from my iBook a few seconds later without a single glitch.
Impressed, I bought a Netgear wireless usb adapter for another pc in the house. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all. After working over an hour with tech support, I decided to trade it in for this Linksys wireless usb adapter. Best move I made! The Linksys unit found and communicated with the router within minutes after it was out of the box. Connection speeds are amazing -- indistinguishable from the pc that's hard wired to the router. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the Linksys router and wireless adapters -- they just plain work!
Digital camera Review: BEAUTIFUL
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is awesome! Very cheap yet very powerful! It's was plug and play for the most part. I just had to have my Windows XP Wizard look for the drive in the CD drive with the Linksys CD. After it was installed, all I had to do was match the Wireless Network Connection Properties with a another laptop which uses to the same internet connection. I was good to go after that with no problems.Digital camera Review: BEWARE -- v4 not compatible with TIVO!
Summary: 1 Stars
Amazon is now shipping WUSB11 v4, not currently compatible with TIVO series 2! Huge bummer. There is no way to order a v2.6 or v2.8 and know for sure what you are getting. This is nothing against this product -- just another problem with Tivo and their support. They may eventually support this unit, but for now the Tivo doesn't recognize the adapter.Digital camera Review: Bad software, QA, and support
Summary: 1 Stars
My installation came back telling me I was missing files. Tech support walked me through uninstall and reinstall -- which as a software engineer I already tried several times. Finally she said it was bad and I needed to exchange it. I knew it wasn't but figured I'd give it a try anyway -- wasting my time and their money. Same problem with new one, er rather, that wasn't the problem in the first place. I checked that my system was current (win2k SP4). Tried again. Missing files. Try to call tech support... 1 hour and 18 minutes later STILL NO ANSWER. Every 30 seconds a "thank you for your call" message repeats, ad nauseum. So I searched the online support http://www.linksys.com/support. No results turned up for a search on "missing files". I tried all combinations from the error message that I thought might return some results. Nothing. Surely this can't be the first time ever this error has popped up?! Not to mention the typo in the error message! I will never buy linksys again. I am taking both units back tomorrow and trying NetGear.T Shane Bostick
