Customer Review: Far too fragile
Summary: 2 Stars
This little widget does a basic job as a USB network adapter, but its design is way too fragile to be practical. Your RJ45 cable doesn't really lock into any socket: you sort of wedge it under a little door at a 45 degree angle, for a very finicky connection that'll come loose at the slightest touch. And, after only a dozen connections, the door on mine popped off and the whole unit basically disintegrated in my hand, unrepairable. Find another brand with a less gimmicky design.Customer Review: good form factor and speed, poor door design
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this adapter because I needed a second port on my laptop, and my coworkers had bought this model.
After 6 weeks of gentle use (this stays in the office and doesn't travel), the door on my unit has come apart. It is a very poor design: the hinge on the plastic door (which is integral to holding the cable) is hinged on plastic tabs that wear.
I would expect the design to be fragile, but not to be completely unusable in 6 weeks. Stay away...
Customer Review: Design flaw
Summary: 1 Stars
The solution to adapting an ethernet cable to a usb connector is very simple. Linksys has greatly complicated things by utilizing a little door that is cheap and flimsy. Yours will break sooner or later. Once the springs get loose, you will never get them back on. If the door does fail, Lnksys will not replace it because they do not consider the case as part of the design. Only the electronincs are covered. I had to be really persistant with them to get a replacement.Customer Review: M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

I got this to connect my DSL modem to a portable computer. It works fine when it is working, but the connection is pure Mickey Mouse. The little trap door connection site is so flimsy a minor brush will disconnect you. Plus, the little door falls off when this occurs, and it takes a watchmaker's skills to get it back together. The latest brush even broke a tiny plastic peg that attaches one of the door's hinges. Surely Linksys is capable of better design.Customer Review: This item is prone to breaking...
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy this item, it is very liable to break within the first week of purchase. And I bought 2 of them, so statistically it's not jsut me. The first time the door broke, and without the door there's no way to hold the ethernet cable to the connection. The second time, the USB part broke off and got stuck in my computer and I could not put it back together. All in all, not the best product out there. Try instead the Belkin USB to Ethernet adaptor.
