Installed and used 3 of them over the years, in different PC's, XP, Vista - no problem at all. Much better connection than my Belkin adapters-I threw those away and replace with these
 Excellent product, works perfectly, recommended September 8, 2008

I got this to connect to a Netgear DG834G router. It was a doddle to install and works perfectly under XP Pro SP3 using either the drivers on the supplied CD or the latest drivers downloaded from Netgear. Signal strength is good and it appears to be perfectly stable and doesn't drop the connection. I've used both the Windows and the Netgear configuration utilities and both work fine. For completeness I should say that I've not tried it under any other OS or with any other router. I also don't work for Netgear!
I don't know why some people have had such bad experiences with it - there are three versions listed on the Netgear web site, and mine is the newest version (v3). Most of the critical reviews seem quite old and there may be problems with the earlier versions.
I have 25 years experience with computers and know what I'm doing, but this didn't require any technical ability whatsoever. All I can say is that I found it to be an excellent product and great value for money.
very good product June 19, 2008

The signal ranged from excellent to nil, moving slowly and eventually losing contact completely, then moving back to excellent. I installed the uprated software from the Netgear site with no improvement and no way of changing it from the American version. My cheap laptop had no problem picking up a signal from the same location. I finally gave on the WG111 and sent it back.
Excellcent easy to use & install-works with my Neighbours ASDL June 6, 2008

I originally bought this may 2005 along with Netgear Router, Tested it using friend's downstairs adsl(telephone line) worked Perfectly on XP Laptop.
MY asdl provider failed to set up my phone line, so for a few years had kit rigged up and dangled very long phone line out of window to neighbours to update large files (for Win2000,Xp PC's)- al the time
Recently Neighbours got a New 'Live BOx Wifi. Now with THEIR PERMISSION I use this USB Wifi device (router now boxed up), simply plug into into which ever PC I want on Line (XP/Win 2000) and having already selected (1 time only there WiFii Connection Name, and entered pass code) can surf 24/7.
Between us 'Friends/family' are in 3 flats,4 Adult users(4 PC's,2 Laptops- different; manufacturers;types of WIfi devices;Win XP,Win2000,Vista), and Me with My Netgear USB wifi connector have NO problems all hanging of the same 'Live box'- which is NOT in my apartment..nor my friend next door.
3 years down the line price has dropped but quality of product has NOT. Highly recommend if you have wifi in the home and need to connect another PC or Laptop else where in the home. ;0))
