I plugged it in, was asked for the CD and put it in. It connected with a strong signal and has worked on three different computers. I can't say the same for Netgear which I tried and returned.
Set Up ProblemsSeptember 5, 2008 S. Foy(Belfast) 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Initial setup seemed relatively straight forward as others have described. I tried the Sweex adaptor with and without a USB extension. Either way it was inconsistent in identifying the wireless hub. All appeared well though until I tried to connect and this simply resulted in nothing happening. I can't see any advice in the manual to overcome this. Looks like for me it will have to back and I'll try another make.
Great for Price - Bit Ugly thoughSeptember 5, 2008 Mandip Grewal(UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I needed to replace an old PCI Belkin wireless card that always seemed to drop connection and not re-connect or sometimes not connect at all! I read the reviews on this one and thought it'd be perfect for me.
My computer is in a small corner on a floor below my router so when I first connected it the signal was OK-ish (2-3 bars) but the speed was VERY slow (kept timing out) - So I connected a 2 metre USB extension cable to it that I had lying around ( 3 on the net) so that I could put the USB dongle on the corner of my desk instead of hidden in the midst of all the wires behind the machine. This made a HUGE difference. My connection now says "Very Good" and I get great speeds and so far it hasn't dropped connection.
very badAugust 19, 2008 tbuyer 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
* Very bad at catching signal * Signal comes and go * Had to run the driver in every port
Definitely a mistake. I would not buy it again even for 1 cent.

I am no geek so always install with some trepidation - this worked fine with XP Home Edition - it took some time to find network address so I re-booted and then it connected straight away.
