Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter
Digital camera Review: WN121T User Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased three of these (WN121T USB ) units to install throughout my house for general internet connection to the Netgear DGN 2000 DSL Wireless N router. I have found this combination to be very satisfactory for my rather basic needs at home environment.
Former wireless interruptions (drops) have disappeared giving way to superior online performance no matter where inside my home. There was no need for a signal booster or any secondary devices. I am able to use VOIP, and video conference from any workstation without lag or noise.
I am very pleased with the recommended combination of Wireless N router and WN121T adapters.
If you are considering the combination of the DGN 2000 and WN121T adapters, you should fully configure the router first along with your unique encryption password. A properly configured router will allow for very simple installation to your remote units.
Installation software for the WN121T should be downloaded from the Netgear web site, even if software drivers arrive on CD along with the unit. Setup (same program) in Windows XP, Windows Vista 32/64 bit versions was very simple. My wireless network printer also found the router instantly. I recommend a USB thumb drive to install the downloaded software application to each computer for initial setup.
