Customer Review: What is the best wireless router with this one?
Summary: 3 Stars
Hey people...I have this adapter in the living room...that goes with the "Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router" that sits in my room...which is like 40 feet away...and it has trouble connecting to it...so my questions are: what is the best wireless router that go with this one that would make it connect with no problem?
Boy there are so many choices...don't know which one is the best one for my situation.
Would it be:
Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router
or Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router? Or any other recommendations? Thank you.
Customer Review: Linksys WUSB600N worked perfectly for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
Linksys WUSB600N worked perfectly for me.
Workstation: Windows Vista SP1 64bit
Location: 2nd Floor, Router (Linksys WRT54G v5) 1st floor.
1) Download latest driver from Linksys site. I never use the old drivers that comes in the box.
2) Plugged in the WUSB600N
3) Provided driver when Vista asked for it.
4) Open Connect To Network, added WPA2 Key
5) Started surfing the web :-)
I'm easily getting better performance out of this USB adapter then I got from my Card Bus Cisco AIR-CB21AG. Both are using 802.11g, not .11n
Customer Review: Doubled my connection bars
Summary: 5 Stars
The unit came with a defective USB adapter. I called tech support and they were very helpful. They told me the error code "1719" meant the USB adapter hardware was bad. I took it back to where I bought it and got another one. That one was up and running in 5 minutes. I have windows Vista and the correct drivers for the adapter were on the enclosed CD. I have doubled the number of bars that my wireless conncection displays, from 1/3 of a bar to 3 full bars. The written instructions in the booklet were very easy to follow, as were the on-sreen instructions for installing the adapter.Customer Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this adapter for my old desktop PC to use with my D-Link DIR-655 wireless-N router. Installation was very easy. I disabled the Linksys wireless utility and I am using Windows to manage wireless connections. Once nice thing wabout this usb adapter is that is comes with an extension cord with dock, so you can place the adapter several feet higher than your computer which helps with connectivity. My router is positioned very high as well (8 feet or so). My computer is about 50-75 feet away from my router, between 1.5 walls and a microwave, and I was getting 4-5 bars, ~130+ Mbps.Customer Review: Range is disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
This product does the job. However, I have two complaints.
First, the Linksys software is annoying and unreliable. It sometimes "forgets" the WLAN configuration. It also sometimes thinks the device has been removed, when it has not. I recommend installing the software (to get the drivers) and the using the built-in Windows software to manage the wireless connections.
Second, the range is disappointing. At 100 ft the signal has already faded to 1-2 bars... barely enough to maintain a connection. The range is better than 802.11 G, but not by much.
