- Sub par
This product works, albeit it is very finicky. The included software is not as good as just using WinXPs wireless configuration, so just ignore their software. Using the software, it frequently can't find my router signal from 15 feet away, which I can find on my laptop no problem. When it finally does find it, it has an excellent signal, so why couldn't it find it in the first place? It also has a problem with my WPA security, sometimes it remember my pass and connects automatically, sometimes I ... Read More

- Never Buying Linksys Again
I purchased this product 10 months ago. It came with EXTREMELY poorly designed software and wouldnt work with secured networks for some reason, but it at least worked for 10 months in our unsecured home network where we use it 99.9% of the time. Then it all of a sudden it was receiving at only 2-5 Mbps, down from 54 Mbps. I called tech support, and they said my warranty ran out-- which i told them was impossible since I had the receipt showing I bought it only 10 months ago and I was in fact out of ... Read More

- Good Customer Service, Bad Product
We'd had this about 3 months when it went on the blink, which stinks, BUT the customer service was great. I called up their customer support; got through to a real (friendly) person relatively quickly; spent about 15 minutes troubleshooting online; they declared it defective; I mailed in my old unit (at my cost); they shipped me a new unit at their cost. This took about 2 weeks in all. The new one is working great with my Lynksis WRT54GS running DD-WRT firmware. The wireless card is upstairs and the ... Read More
