Outstanding product. it operates fine without having any issue. Nothing at all.

Wonderful item, operates fine, incredibly nice value. Works nicely on an old laptop (Dell v840) with Windows 7. The PCMCIA card I had earlier was giving problems (BSOD every single now and then) as there are no updated drivers. A bit bigger in size. I originally believed it would work with WDTVLive after upgrading the unit to b-rad's WDLXTV firmware 4.two.. No luck on that.

Solid, strong connection from decent distances. Easy setup. Crazy affordable. Comes with a dongle so it doesn't take up much more than 1 usb port when plugged in (if you're short on ports or utilizing with a laptop, I envision this could be a pretty major deal). Need to have to run the proprietary utility to get it going properly. It's not a big deal or a resource hog or something, I just like when gear runs as cleanly as doable. I like a good, neat technique tray. Wired a buddy's condo but ran into architectural snags getting connectivity in one particular of the upstairs bedrooms for an older Pc (WinXP, SP2, Athlon XP2200, 1GB RAM). Plugged it in and attempted to go with the common drivers, but no dice receiving it to see the router. Ran the really easy and lightweight utility ƕ minutes), and it was gold. I would heartily advise this unit to anybody needing a rapid fix for wireless connectivity problems. Nevertheless can't think how low-cost it was. Pc distance from the wireless router is 1 floor up and at least 35ft across the making. Signal strength at complete bars.

Bought because a ฝ wireless answer for a ten year old laptop is advantageous. Apple Air Port cards are ridiculously overpriced including the applied ones that would work in my Powerbook. I took a gamble and bought one of these issues and I'm delightfully shocked at how nicely this little unit has performed. I would undoubtedly acquire it once more. -stable connection-picks up signals like a regular wireless card ought to-drivers obtainable for Mac, Windows, and Linux if you want them-ฝ! -functions with USB 1.1 The unit gets hot and it doesn't function with Apple's 10.3 operating method aka "Panther."

Worked excellent and it was only ů, what a lot more could you ask for? Tested on Windows XP.Also came with an USB expansion cable so the adapter doesnt another USB port. None

Low cost. Effortless setup. Comes in environmentally friendly cardboard box, not entombed in plastic. Somewhat bulky. Hefty small unit. Comes with a short extension cable which is required in most cases. On the other hand, this reduces the likelyhood of bumping and damaging the plug or the pc port. My Linux ƒ.6.27.29) laptop quickly recognized it and loaded the rtl8187 module. It takes a though to negotiate a connection with my router. Transfer speeds are fine for World-wide-web work, but LAN transfers appear slower than other adapters I have employed.

Inexpensive Most current drivers are only readily available from Windows Update (which calls for that you be on the web to install - that happens to be a challenge with this device), not the manufacturer's site. Connections I was able to accomplish had been slow and unstable. Right after performing battle with this device for over a week, I am ready to throw in the towel. I agree with other reviewers that the most current drivers (from Windows Update) help, but the connections are nonetheless very weak and unstable. The device failed to function at all when connected to a rear USB port. Moving to the front helped considerably. The supplied 3.5 inch USB extension cord is worthless, but employing a longer cord I was able to position the device on the desktop (the PC is on the floor) and that further improved the connection. Sadly, I nonetheless cannot reliably transfer a huge 鵬 MB) file to the computer.

Inexpensive & Simple to install and use. Have utilized it for a month and it works fine for just normal net browsing but any time there's any sustained data transfers (copying big files more than the network or torrents) it tends to die. Might be overheating it get rather hot to the touch.

Comment:
Purchased four of these for desktops. All seem to function fantastic. Gets warm at times but not a challenge. Great price and decent good quality.

Maintains a good continuous connection while surfing the internet and during heavy downloads. None. Works effectively with a Dir-655 D-Link Router.

Comment:
Works perfectly! It had no challenge becoming observed by my wireless router and has not dropped the connection. I bought this to keep in my tool box to use on working on computers, but I had to use it for numerous months on my desktop PC, no complaints. None. I have noticed reviews talking about how hot it gets. While mine has gotten a small warm, it was not to the point to cause me any concern. Like any PC component, make certain you don't plug it into an location that gets seriously hot, that may cause it to get hotter than normal.

Price. Lack of external antenna--nonetheless doesn't enjoy to be crammed in between the Lian Li and the wall. When I very first got this I utilized the driver on the included CD and had sketchy connections which needed stringing this thing up to the wall (pulling a USB expansion port out the best of my case for lack of a lengthy USB extension cable). I went to the Encore internet site and downloaded one more driver--which turned out to be the identical driver (dated 2007) and thus did me no good. Fortunately and conveniently, Vista ࿠) gave me the selection of updating the driver via a windows update "optional" checkbox, and immediately after the update this factor has been rock solid and quick.

Comment:
Customer service is good. Does not lock onto signal well at all. Installation is not necessarily plug and play following installing drivers. If you even believe you might have slight signal problems skip this unit. cost was right...

Comment:
Affordable Doesn't work with OS X, RTL8187B chipset (dodgy with Kismet/Aircrack, doesn't play nicely with Mac OS X or Linux) Only get if you strategy on utilizing it with Windows, otherwise it won't be of considerably use to you...
