Customer Rating:
Summary: Good purchase
Comment: I have enjoyed this product. It was definetly worth the money that I paid for it. I recomend it to anyone in need of an adapter.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worked great... for about 5 minutes.
Comment: I ordered one of these Netgear USB Wifi dongles and plugged it into my computer's USB port. I found that it gave me a better signal than my internal PCI wifi card(also Netgear).
The problem is that the adapter seems to shut itself off (the light turns off and all network activity stops) after a couple of minutes, at which point I have to unplug it and plug it back in again, over and over again every few minutes.
I got this particular model because the price was good and Netgear has worked well for me in the past. This problem I'm having, however, makes this product a worthless waste of my time and shipping money (I'm getting a refund on the product itself). After reading the other negative reviews of this model, it looks like this is not just a fluke problem with my unit, so next time I'll try a different brand or model.
You have been warned.

Summary: STAY AWAY!!!!!
Comment: The Good:
It's easy to plug in
The Bad:
1. The Driver is just horrid. When you launch the program, it quickly comes up for about half a second, then disappears. If you were really quick, and lucky with the mouse pointer, you could left click on the top pane and hold the program there while it searches for the wireless network. I had to repeat this task every single time I rebooted the computer. Netgear support recognizes this happens, but both of their fixes were ineffective for me.
2. Once I made my Wireless network a secure one (WPA-PSK), i was able to enter the proper password (once again by being super quick with my mouse pointer before the program disappeared), and from that point on, the adapter is in a constant state of alternating between "searching for signal", and "signal found", but it will never lock on so there is now no internet.
I've tried every fix possible from rebooting, changing the USB port I plug it into, to removing the driver and reinstalling, to searching google for hours trying to find a fix. I've found forums with people having the same problem, but never a fix. I'm not going back to an unsecure network, so now I'm forced to buy a new adapter and will definitely switch brands.
