Simple installation with no problems on XP Pro. Unlike some of the more expensive adapters this one supports WEP encryption on Wireless N. from Amazon.com Pros: Good bang for the buck. Works perfectly fine with my Linksys WRT54GL router. There's a couple concrete walls between my computer and router, but signal strength is always full and never drops connection!This wireless adapter DOES WORK after restart and sleep mode with the latest Ralink RT2870 driver. Cons: None so far. from Newegg.com Not much to say other than that the Encore Wireless Enuwi-N 802.11N Wireless USB Adapter is a great product that does what it is supposed to do. Very easy to use. from Amazon.com Pros: My Mac Mini's wifi radio sucks which is a common problem on the machine. To fix it, I decided to buy the cheapest N dongle I could find and ended up with this one. It works fine. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap! Cons: The adapter would not work after restart or after sleep mode. Need to unplug and replug to make it work. from Newegg.com I bought this device as it was supported in the beta firmware for the HD200 media extender for SageTV. I have only used it for 802.11g and not for 802.11n but it works flawlessly and as advertised. It's nothing exciting to look at but does what it needs to do and does it cheaply. from Amazon.com Pros: low cost. good when it worked Cons: died in 2-3 days of use.bulkydrivers Other Thoughts: i installed it primarily on my laptop but within 2-3 days it would not connect. i transfered it over to a desktop for troubleshoot and nothing. from Newegg.com Cons: Didn't work great, it had a shotty connection. When it was working well I could get 130 off my linksys WRT160N and I was happy with that but it would go in and out. This maybe interference on my part and is not the reason for the low rating. Mid week into ownership the device stopped working. from Newegg.com Pros: 300Mbps at such a low price? You can't go wrong Cons: n/a from Newegg.com Pros: Just got this today, plugged in into my media PC and it came up in about 2 seconds. Windows 7 64Bit recognized it immediately as a wireless-N adapter and it works well. I haven't tried the software that came with it, I don't really need it at this point. from Newegg.com
