 Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter November 17, 2008
The Linksys Wireless-G Adapter is a wonderful product that comes with a CD to install the software on the computer. Though I'm saving up to purchase the Linksys Wireless-G Router, the adapter performs it's part perfectly on my computer, in that, my computer says it's connected. At present, I'm simply in need of an internet carrier, which the router will address. I researched this product before purchase and same was highly recommended. I'm happy I made the purchase and recommend this product.
 Linksys Wireless-G November 16, 2008
Linksys are one of the good Networking products,This USB Wireless-G is a little bit bigger than my USB drive.
Pros: Easy to install, good wireless reception.
Evrything was just PERFECT with this seller October 31, 2008
I had a problem with the purchased item. The refund EVERYTHING and payed for the shipping costs. I'm glad to deal with such people. I won't hesitate to buy from them again.
Works as advertised October 24, 2008
This is the second WUSB54GC that I have puchased. The first one was installed on a Windows XP machine about a year ago and it still works fine. The one I recently purchased installed on another XP computer with no problems. Windows XP found the new hardware and installed drivers for it. I did not even have to insert the installation CD. All I had to do was type in the password key for my wireless network and I was done.
Works as advertised! October 24, 2008
This device really was a piece of cake to install. Pop in the CD and follow the prompts. Took about ten minutes and turned an old lap top into a wireless cruiser. Not my usual experience with Linksys setup, a nice surprise.
