Adapter works with some setup effort |
It took me hours to finally get the Linksys WUSB54GS network adapter to work on a Win XP box with my Linksys WRT54GS router. The solution was to use the XP Wireless Zero configuration tool instead of the supplied Linksys Wireless Network Monitor!
I used the supplied driver installation CD-ROM v1.15 to install the drivers for the WUSB54GS, plug the adapter in and it was able to associate with the router but couldn't acquire an IP address. I had WPA-PSK + AES security turned on and SSID broadcast disabled. When I enabled SSID broadcast *OR* disabled WPA security, the adapter could connect and acquire an IP address. Go figure.
Finally, I switched to XP Wireless Zero Configuration. Bingo! The adapter was able to connect and acquire an IP address, with all the above security features still in place.
Apparently, the installation software v1.15 solved the "res.dll" error that people complained about in their reviews. If you can get the adapter working with the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor, great! Otherwise, give the Wireless Zero Configuration tool a try (of course if you are using Win XP).
The wireless connection seems to be relatively stable. It stays connected at 54Mbps most of the time. Occasionally it drops to 48Mbps or 36Mbps, but then manages to get back to 54Mbps. Signal strength stays around Very Good to Excellent (adapter is one floor above the router). Nevertheless, I occasionally get a lost packet when I do a ping but it's less than 1%, which doesn't seem to affect any network activities such as websurfing and transferring huge files though. |

| The best thing about this product is that I can individually cut the connection to the internet for my teens when they have not done what they should have done, and are spending too much time on the internet. I just unplug it and take it away. |

Just doesn't work with some PCs |
| I tried to get this adapter working with my WinXP box and no luck. I upgraded the drivers, tried various configurations, read online advice, and it would still drop the wireless connection after about a minute. Then I tried a D-Link DWL-G122 on the same PC and bingo, up and running in no time and no problems so far. Linksys may make pretty good routers, but this device is just plain clunky and has serious design issues. |
