ASUS USB-N13 USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter

Comment:
Needed one for my dad's old computer because an Ethernet cable going around the house will look ugly. It does what it was meant to do and had no problems so far.

All around solid USB wireless adapter. Doubles the signal on my laptop, and the included software made setting up an ad-hoc network between my desktop and laptop pc easy. I highly recommend this as a USB adapter.

I bought this USB wireless adapter for a buddy, because the adapter that had come with his Dell laptop would not connect to our aged (read: ancient) outdoor wireless access point, which only offered 802.11(b) connections. The laptop would connect fine with any wireless G network, so go figure.Anyway, this USB adapter detected and connected to the network right away, after installing the driver's from the included CD. So far, the adapter is going strong - works great! The adapter's G/N support will ensure that it doesn't become obsolete when he moves too.

I like the fact that Asus includes a USB extender that is very stiff.Installation was VERY straight forward. insert  CD, install drivers, and you have a working usb wireless adaptor.

works good, my dl speed could reach to 1m/s. i didn't catch the on sale price, but i pm'ed it, still good enough.

A great price for a great product. I definitely recommend this for an HTPC - you'll be able to stream very nicely and the installation is easy easy easy.

This product is absolutely fantastic. It is fast, has great reception and connectivity and best of all, is extremely affordable. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice boost in reception, upgrading from a G card or USB dongle to this is a great thing.The only gripe I have, if I had to have one, is that Windows 7 does not have drivers for this device upon insertion. While that's not a big deal as it comes with a driver CD, it'd be nice to just find the most recent driver online right away. The drivers on the included CD are out of date, so be sure to pick up the most recent drivers from the Asus website.

Was supposed to be needed for a notebook but in the end was not. Still I decided to open it because it wasn't worth it to return it.Tried on my desktop computer which is next to my router and at least I got the same speed as my wired connection.Installation was painfully easy on windows 7 64bits.Instead of using the included CD I downloaded the latest driver from Asus.They have 3 drivers. One complete with software which I did not wanted, one with a setup , and one is just the driver itself.Ran the one with a setup before plugging it in.Once plugged, windows quickly detected the driver and it worked.Updated to the newest driver with the driver only package.That simple !Can't speak much of range and reliability but from what I did so far it's flawless.

Overall, a pretty good product from Asus. I do like the fact that it's a USB stick, as I was going to buy an internal wireless adapter for my desktop. However, getting this, I could use this on any PC or laptop.The signal is pretty good, as well. No complaints and good price if pricematched.

Great little piece of hardware. I usually get 3 bars for reception despite multiple obstacles and significant distance between my computer and the wireless router. Connection never drops and speeds are great. I am pleased

My old 802.11G started to fail and I ordered this because it was on sale. I needed better wireless adapter and though what better idea just get 802.11N. My old 802.11G didn't need any driver install. But when I pluged in this usb wireless N, windows could not detect it. So, I had to install the drivers to make it work.

I got this to go with my RT-N16 so I could use the WPS feature for easy setup. It can get 300mbps at close range, (theoretical, not actual) but quickly drops to 150mbps ~15' away. Windows doesn't seem to be able to configure this properly, you have to use the Asus utility included on the driver disc.

I use to gain wireless internet on a computer in the room next to my main computer.Along with my Netgear 3500L, it gets maximum signal strength and works beautifully.My only complaint so far is the driver interface looks a bit antiquated and is a little clumsy, so if you are the type who likes to tweak many settings, this might not be the ideal adapter for you.

Comment:
This was a bit difficult to setup at first, with the included software and driver. I'm running Win7 64-Bit. Using the included software and driver, I was not able to connect at 300Mbps and I couldn't even run the ASUS software. So, I uninstalled everything, and downloaded the latest driver and software from another computer. Then, I installed everything and plugged-in this adapter. Then, voila, everything was nice.

Bought this to replace my PCIE card that was working but was taking to much place since I have a mAtx board. This one is great work perfectly. Don't use wifi n like most people, think about the speed of your HDD :).

Comment:
Apart from my driver issues it works pretty good, seems kinda weak its only about 20 feet from the router and I'm lucks to get 2 bars

Bought this for a wireless N upgrade to the home network so I can stream better off my computer. The device is cheap and works as is, the software is actually not bad and doesn't cause it to lose connection. Unfortunately I can't use the ralink utility even though this card uses a ralink chipset, i much prefer it over the asus software.Overall, very satisfied for 20$.

I've been using this for 2 months and it has been nearly perfect, great range, speed, and connectivity. Works perfectly with my wireless N router and is great for Streaming, Gaming, and web use.

Initially bought it and it kept disconnecting every few minutes. Googled it and found out there was a potential clash between the and ESET NOD. Had to uninstall ESET, install ASUS WLAN software, then re-intall ESET. Problem solved. Can't complain when it's under $20.

Plugged, installed latest driver from Asus web site with W7 Pro 64. Really ... i have nothing negative to say about it !

Comment:
I was a little worried when I opened the Installation program on the CD and it said "Install Driverr" It works well, doesn't drop  connections and has true windows 7 support right out of box. It works reliably enough and it only cost me 20 dollars. I am generally happy with the purchase. Due to the price I am inclined to give it a well deserved 4 stars, Id give it a 5 but... I am not extremely impressed, just reasonable impressed considering what I paid.

There might be some other tricks to try to get this product working properly (assuming it is not working properly in the first place), but at this point I think I've simply wasted enough of my time messing around with this adapter

i bought 2 of these to plug into my girlfriend's and my laptops, they work great, litterly, plug and play, no drivers to install, windows vista found drivers on it's own in approx 30-40 seconds. it was an easy upgrade to wireless N, range increase was amazing, almost 4 times further from the new wireless n router with these N adapters, vs. the laptops built in wireless g adapter. i tried plugging one in the xbox 360 just to see if it would work, but the xbox wouldn't detect it at all. of well, worth the try, and now others know.

I bought this as a temporary measure while I was living with family who don't have ethernet available in their home. Installation was simple (I downloaded the newest Windows 7 32 bit driver off the ASUS website) and it picked up the signal from the Linksys N WAP without an issue. The house has a lot of wireless users, but with the exception of some duplicate IP issues, my experience has been problem free.My gaming latency has obviously been a bit higher than hard wired ethernet, but over all I haven't had any drops in signal strength or communication issues with the adapter. I have it plugged in directly on the back of my PC.Very happy over all. It has been a very cost effective solution for me. I haven't tried other N adapters prior to this, but I believe most the problems people have with wireless are more likely to do with their WAP's, than their NIC's.

I bought this so I can move rigs around the house and for Chimps Challenge so that I could put one folding computer in the garage. It doesn't quite have the range to work well in the garage but it seems to work fine on the second floor of my two story. The router is in the basement and it may be weak, I am not sure. The range seems to be the same as the wireless adaptor in my lappy so I am inclined to think that the router makes a huge difference also.
