Summary: 1 Stars
I was very excited to move into the world of *faster* wireless connectivity with the purchase of three WUS600N adapters and a Linksys WRT610N router. I figured that any cross-manufacturer incompatibility issues would be moot if I used all Linksys products. I was upgrading from a WRT54G (I think that's the model - it's a combo wired/wireless 802.11g router from Linksys). I am running a HP Pavilion Vista desktop (directly downstairs from the router), a Gateway XP desktop (also directly downstairs from the router), and an XP Acer laptop (anywhere from the same room to four rooms away, about 30' max range). I don't have any cordless phones or anything else that takes a wireless signal. I live in a suburb with quarter acre lots, and to my knowledge, there's no big issue with interference from anything in the area. Here's my experience:
Out of the box, the laptop didn't work at all, the Vista machine connected great and continues to have great connectivity (184 MBPS, I believe). The XP desktop had reasonable connectivity, but tended to hang with connections, and I've started getting memory allocation errors at odd times (could be a coincidence, but nothing else has changed since I installed the drivers for the adapter). The laptop is an absolute disaster. I couldn't get a connection at all. I disabled the internal Broadcom wireless adapter, then changed to 40 MHz wide channel for both 5 and 2.4. This permitted me to finally connect, although the signal strength at both 5 and 2.4 are far weaker than my old router. I had issues with dropped signals, and it seemed like I had to constantly refresh the connection and reenter the security passphrase to get back on line - annoying!
The latest/last straw has been that my latest Windows "Automatic Update" (just a couple days ago) seems to have killed my ability to connect at all. I can't find anything on this anywhere - I have not dl'd the update for the XP desktop out of fear that I'll lose my connection there as well. Grrrrr.... So... I think I'm going to can the adapter, or at least using the N protocol, and revert to G again. I have to say that this has been a very frustrating ride. I've wasted a good deal of money in the hope that getting name brand stuff (which is not my usual MO) would minimize the risks of problems. Not the case. I am also seeing the down side to being an early adopter.
I'm not sure if it's the router, the adapter, or the combo/both/either, but this package is without question *not* ready for prime time. Wait a while for the final protocol to come out, and wait for some reviews confirming compatibility across platforms, systems, and different ranges. I'm hopeful that a firmware update will cure some of these issues, because I don't really have the time to fight with compatibility issues. I've had the set up for less than a month and tried all kinds of things to make it better, but I'm thinking about returning everything - it just doesn't work.
