Using your high-speed USB 2.0 port, the Adapter delivers incredible data rates without the trouble of opening up the case of your computer. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster incorporates the next generation of Wireless-G to increase your "real-world" wireless network performance by up to 35%! And with SpeedBooster you'll see an overall speed improvement even when running a mixed network of SpeedBooster and regular Wireless-G devices.To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. And the new push button setup feature makes it easy to configure. Just push the button on the Access Point and on your other SecureEasySetup-enabled wireless device to automatically create a safe connection, protected by the industrial-strength security of 256-bit Wireless Protected Access (WPA2) encryption.The USB Network Adapter lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space with other computers on the network.So don't hassle with running cables through your house - get connected to Wireless-B, Wireless-G, and SpeedBooster wireless networks the easy way with the Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster.

Summary: Good speed at a nice price
Comment: I'm not a big fan of wireless anything given the unknown dangers, but as wireless items go, this is one of the best. Setup was easy and with my current operating system, the computer recognized the usb network adapter with no trouble; however a quick call to Linksys was necessary to help me bypass the included software and allow Windows built-in utility to override certain settings. If you're having doubt as to which compact adapter to buy, do your research and you'll find that this one is one of the best out there currently plus the speedboost is a big bonus! I've had this item a few weeks and I'm satisfied so far.

Summary: CRAPPY TECH SUPPORT - NOT WORTH THE HASSLE
Comment: I bought a little no name brand USB adapter on Amazon for 17.99 and it worked GREAT. Easy to install, great signal. I put it in the USB port on the front of my computer rather than the back and my kids got ahold of it and broke it. So I figured when I replaced it, I would order LInksys in order to have it be the same brand as the router. BIG MISTAKE. It took me 12 hours to set up the network. I have a Linksys wireless router and had a Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 hooked up to it. Installing this little adapter to my PC knocked out the wireless to the Xbox and Wii. I contacted customer service via chat 4 TIMES. On the third time, the tech had me tweak something that knocked out my internet completely. I took my wireless system off and plugged directly to the cable and no internet. I had to call my Internet Provider to get that working and start over from scratch. I ended up figuring out how to adjust the WPA and WEP settings on my own (and I didn't have a clue what either of those things were when I set out to install this adapter.) Bottom line - this adapter is for people who know wireless networking like the back of their hand, who don't have anything else on their wireless network, or don't have anything else better to do with their time than chitchat with clueless customer service reps. Do yourself a favor and order the "Wireless G USB Adapater" by CP Technology for 17.99. It works well and was no hassle whatsoever to set up. This adapter works well now that I have it hooked up, but I have three small kids and it was not worth throwing away a day filled with frustration to get this piece of junk working.
