Reviewed on 2008-07-25 I was able to connect to the Internet most of the time. I used the Belkin wireless to connect to the web and it was fairly reliable. We just had to wait for the connection to be available. For a vacation or to use away from home, it is very good.

Reviewed on 2008-07-10 Good works well does what it's sapose to do though it did not come with a install disk but thats what the Internets for

Reviewed on 2008-07-09 great if you use Windows to configure Install the drivers Uninstall the Belkin Utility Tool (it doesn't work) Use windows configuration for wireless Works like a charm! Strong 54G! Using it alongside a Belkin Wireless repeater on my desktop and it beat out a Trendnet 54G PCI Card (actually trendnet looks cool, but I've had 3 wireless cards through Trendnet and they DO NOT retain their range or connection). ***UPDATE: the 3002 version has many hiccups when I'm gaming - sometimes from 10 ping to 700. Even when the ping is constant it'll lag. I got the 4001 version from tech for less and it works well. No hiccups, runs smooth. Only issue is that when I shutdown the pc locks up. So I either have to force shutdown (hold power button) or pull out the USB stick before I shutdowna and then put it back. Either way, DO NOT USE Belkin wireless utility. Just uses windows wireless manager.

Reviewed on 2008-06-11 Convenient but dissapointing performance I was excited because instead of installing a PCI card, I just needed a USB stick. However, it does not work! Right next to it is another dell computer in my office. In the other room two walls away is a Belkin router. The computer with the Belkin PCI card always has a connection. But this computer right next to it with this USB stick will see the router and then constantly lose the connection. Simply does not work well, so even though I am poor I will be looking for a replacement.

Reviewed on 2008-06-06 Don't waste your money Worked ok in the same room as my wireless router, but after the router died in a lightning storm I bought a 2nd Belkin USB adapter and put the router in the center of my home. Both Belkins kept showing a strong signal, but kept failing to connect -- just like everyone else here says. They also kept disconnecting and were slow even when connected. I thought it was the new router at first, but after reading other reviews on the Belkin adapter, I realize I've been ripped off TWICE. Belkin is a good company, but makes a lousy wireless USB adapter. I was a UNIX and Windows systems administrator for 11 years, so I'm quite capable setting up a network. Funny, my Dell laptop with built-in wireless is RIGHT NEXT TO my Sony Vaio computer with the Belkin. I'm using the Dell to write this ONLINE, but the Vaio with the Belkin adapter is not connecting to the router. Buy a Linksys!
