Cons
Had to reinstall with Win2K.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
I got a good deal on this from PC Club.($19) I see prices around $60. If you find it for $40 or less, jump on it.
This adapter has one of the strongest signals of any wireless adapter I've used. I have always used it with the cradle. Router is in the basement and the adapter has been used upstairs. It out-performs the Linksys wmp54g and a couple of D-Link 520's which are being used upstairs also.
It has been in a couple different Dell Lattitude laptops, with and without a docking station. Also on a couple of home built PC's. XP and Win2000. I have used USB1 and USB2 and there is no significant difference.
Encryption features setup very easily. It did not install as easily with the laptop running Win2000. Once it did, it worked perfectly.
I am highly pleased with this adapter.I would recommend it to anyone. From what I have read I guess I would recommend that the cradle be used. I would also point out that it installed easier with XP than it did with Win2K in my case.
I have used different USB network adapters and this one is many times better. I have not seen any of the issues some of the others are reporting. I don't know why that is. I have used it in a very large number of hardware variation. Almost always with XP-Home though.
