Pros: overall, outstanding performance. outstanding range. great product.
Cons: plug-and-play is overrated. problems with plug-and-play. bundled software isn't helpful.

Cons: High failure. (have 2, 1 failed in 6 mo) Low throughput/range

I have a Linksys PCMIA wireless access card, and it has more ... read more

Pros: Easy setup
Cons: not wicked fast
Summary: First off, the picture epinions is showing in this heading is *not* of the model I'm speaking of. The model I'm talking about is this:

Summary: Version Tested: 2.5
After signing up for AOL DSL service (which never worked right, see my review of Optimum Online for more on that) AOL e-mailed us about their new "family plan". This plan allowed four users to be on AOL at any one time for ... read more

Pros: Super easy installation, good throughput
Cons: none yet
Summary:
Once again, I bought a wireless adapter (please see my epinion on the Netgear MA401)! I was upgrading a co-worker's workstation from Windows NT to Windows 2000, when I found that the Intel Pro/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter wouldn't work! ... read more

Pros: Compact size - Good Documentation - Easy Setup - Good Speed
Cons: Only the fear of getting started!
Summary: This was my first effort at setting up a network. After reading an article on Microsoft's website (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/columns/bowman/02april08.asp) I decided to build an 'ad-hoc' network to avoid purchasing an expensive ... read more

Pros: excellent connection quality and strength,small and easy to conceal.
Cons: price was somewhat steep. Tech Support may as well not exists...
Summary: After moving my computer up to my room, I obviously had to have an internet connection. Cabling Cat5 cable through my house was not an option. It's no easy to conceal, and I don't want to cut holes in the wall. After going to my local tech store, I ... read more

Pros: Umm...It's Black and Blue?
Cons: BlackandBlue color scheme reminds you of the bruising you risk taking with LinkSys products?
Summary: ..
This review applies to the pre version 2.5 WUSB11 (i.e. the ones WITHOUT external antennae)
LinkSys's Quality Control seems to have gone to hell in both the firmware and hardware areas. Customer support is abysmal at best.

Pros: Installation couldn't be much easier
Cons: None
Summary: I'd orignially planned on getting the Linksys network adapter that required opening up the computer tower to install the card. Then, I began looking into this instead. I'm glad I got the USB version. It couldn't be simpler--it was installed in less ... read more

Pros: Small, easy to move from one computer to another, version 2.5 has an antenna.
Cons: Could be less expensive...but comparable in price to others.
Summary: Initially, I was a little skeptical of the reliability of the USB interface but the Linksys USB network adapter works without a hitch. One advantage of USB is that adapter can be moved from one machine to another very easily. Simply unplug it and go. It ... read more

Pros: wireless
Cons: does not really work with XP
Summary: I originally installed this on Windows 98 and it worked OK although much slower than a direct network cable connection. After upgrading to XP and using the new driver I am lucky to get 10 minutes of use before the device can no longer connect to the ... read more

Pros: Small, super-fast setup, great reception and performance
Cons: need one for each PC to be networked, eats a USB port
Summary: First, a confession - I'm a Linksys junkie.
The Linksys cable/DSL router performed so well for me for over a year that when the time came to go wireless inside the house, there was no question in my choice of brands. After connecting two ... read more

Pros: Really easy setup. Good reception/throughput even through 2 floors.
Cons: Causes computer to lock up during shutdown. Tech support don't want to help.
Summary: This is truly a plug-and-play device (Windows 98SE). Installation is a breeze using the idiot-proof installer program. Once this has taken you through the set-up routine, you just plug in the device and off you go. It took about 20 minutes to install ... read more

Pros: customer service was kind (but not helpful)
Cons: expensive, slow (if you can get it to work), difficult setup, customer service useless
Summary: I have had a cable modem in my house for a few years. The speed and service is amazing and it is really wonderful. My only problem is that for the other computers in my house I only have 56K modems. So about a year ago I decided to network my house. ... read more
