Works well for cheap!

"I had this set up and running on my new Gateway PC that I purchased the same day in about 5 minutes. The gateway is running Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Set up was quick and easy and it's pretty cheap. Signal strength is good but I am in the same room as my router. When I initially set it up a few rooms away the signal was a little weaker but still performed well...." Read Full Review »

Does the job

"I use this because my wireless connection went out on my laptop. It works great. I have two main problems: 1. I only have 2 usb ports on my laptop and it doesn't fit in the one next to my power cord. Too bulky. 2. It doesn't fold up or anything. It just sticks straight out and isn't compact enough. Does the job, I just wish it was smaller!!! I'd recommend it if you have a few usb ports or if you really needed ..." Read Full Review »

Didn't "find" WiFi networks

★☆☆☆☆
1.0

"The device looked nice, and I liked that the USB cap fits on end of the device so not likely to lose it. A cradle and cable are included -- so could have moved device to where got the strongest signal -- "IF" you ever got a signal at all.

Belkin is usually a good brand -- but something's very wrong …"  Read Full Review »
