    Customer Reviews:
    Terrible product with lousy support
    I bought the Linksys WUSB54GC wireless USB adapter to connect to my new Linksys WRT160N wireless router. Although I am a fairly advanced user, I could not get the adapter to stay consistently connected, even though other wireless devices in the house stayed connected flawlessly. I called Linksys technical support. They were pretty lousy, and after speaking with 5 different representatives, the product was deemed defective. I bought a D-Link DWA-130 adapter as a replacement, and it has functioned great. So, either the product was indeed defective or was an inferior product. Either way, I was not too pleased with this purchase or the support for it.

    I liked this product
    This product was easy to install and use. The directions were easy to follow and it was working in less than ten minutes.

    Not The Most Powerful USB Tool
    I bought this because my daughter’s old laptop did not have a card slot. We figured a USB Adapter would be the next best thing for our wireless network at home. The USB adapter sits less than 20 feet from the wireless router and has a wall with a door separating them. Many times it has had trouble picking up the signal from the wireless router when I don’t feel this should be a problem. Both my wife and I have laptops with built in wireless receivers and have no issues picking up the router’s signal anywhere in the house. However, it seems like this USB adapter has to be right on top of the router for the signal to be strong enough to link to anything. We’ve made it work but she still does not have the best signal in the world. I think I would look into something different if I were trying to come up with a networking solution now.

    Excellent
    I highly recommend this product. Works very well. Very easy to install. I’ve been using this product for about a month and there are no problems… at least not yet.

    Excellent
    Installed this on a Dell computer with Windows XP Pro. Installed and connected without any problems. Up and running in 5 minutes. Good product.
