Works Great - No Problems (with Caveat)
I purchased the WUSB600N wireless network adaptor to support my 5.5 year old Sony Pentium 4. The WUSB600N is the size of a large thumb drive and it uses a USB connection on one end. It comes with a USB stand for use with desktops but can also be connected directly to laptops.
Thus far, the unit has worked great but . . . I did not install the unit as instructed by the directions. Having had problems with Linksys software on a previous wireless card, I took a hint from another revie...

Works
This connects with 270 Mbps in a downstairs room. Relatively easy setup. Does not drop signal. Plays streaming HD movies over home network. Does both 2.4 and 5 GHz for future true N performance. I have the Dir-655 at this time which is only 2.4. Future router upgrade should work well due to the dual band. It has a nice usb cradleextension for easy positioning.brbrNot as fast as wired no matter what others say. This is partly my networks fault as the router seems to access things a little...

Tech Support told me to return it and get a different type !!
I bought this adapter for my daughter's desktop PC in the hopes of obtaining a decent range. I had an old wireless "B" PCI adapter from Netgear for years, and signal was always very marginal on this PC.
I also bought a Linksys WRT600N router to upgrade my whole wireless system too. The idea of dual band 2.4/5Ghz seemed attractive enough. Also, I thought that by buying from the same manufacturer I should have very few issues.
I have four PCs at home 3 x wireless "G" (XP S...

Great Product - Buy This!
I was hesitate to buy this item with all the negative reviews, but I was desperate. My wireless G adapter wouldn't work with my new computer. Ordered this. Received it overnight. Installed the software. Plugged in adapter. And it has worked perfectly since. I don't know what all the negative comments r about.

Gets the job done!
I have had absolutely no problems with this adapter. I had purchased a different wireless adapter of a different brand and my computer quickly crashed and I had to do the system recovery. I couldn't even do the system restore and I lost all of my pictures and music(well, I did have them backed up so I didn't lose them permanently).
I've had this adapter now for about 4 months it has worked great from day one. It's quick, it picks up a signal quickly and seems to work very efficie...

Marginal performance - marketing triumph ... engineering flop
After stellar performance of the parent dual-band WRT600T router with my plain jane laptop some 50 feet removed - and the exciting image of the happy family computing all over a multi-story house on the box - I purchased this multi-band wireless receiver to join the cheerful crowd. Not so! Had hoped to 'unwire' my cabled net of 3 desktops for neater appearance; surely not with this underperforming weakling.
Using a big Dell (XP/SP3), the vaunted automatic link with the router failed -...

Disappointing performance
I purchased this client adapter along with the WRT600N dual-band router and the WGA600N dual-band gaming adapter (everything was Linksys dual-band). After setting up the router and gaming adapter with no problems, I attempted to connect a computer to the network using the WUSB600N.
This adapter comes with a USB extension cable with a base at the end, so you can position the adapter in a favorable location. With the best reception, Windows reports the 802.11N connection as 270 Mbps. ...

Interference and battery drain
I was lucky if I could connect with this wireless adapter. As well the adapter wreaked havoc with my other nearby wireless devices. I tried two different models of Logitech wireless mice, both of which moved erratically and dropped clicks while this wireless adapter was plugged in. Not to mention that my battery life was nearly cut in half while I was connected. I promptly returned the adapter.
I have a Netgear WG-111 which works great, doesn't drain my battery or interfere with m...

Doesn't support Vista x64
Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: None, compared to Dlink
Cons: Doesn't run Vista x64
Other Thoughts: The whole point of USB devices is that they usually can be counted upon to work regardless of slight OS variations on your machine. Not LinkSys! These guys advertise "Vista" compatibility but don't tell you they don't support Vista x64. I guess they haven't seen those C...
