Not so easy for me to install..........2003-12-12

Based on the previous reviews I order 2 of these items to use in my home. On the first install I was able to get a good signal one story away but after rebooting my laptop I could not get device to install properly. I keep getting unknown device. This was on a Win 98 SE system. I also had the same results on a XP machine that I was also planning using them on. Instead of trying to tweak it so much to force it to work I opted to buy the netgear version which matched my router manufaturer. Plugged it in and no configuration needed. I'm new to wireless and been in the computer field for almost 20 years. I think keeping the same manufaturer on these items is probably a good solution for beginners since this technology has become econimically feasible for home users to use. I don't have time to fiddle with pnp devices that are suppose to work right out of the box. Just my opinion.

Easy-peasy!.......2003-08-08

Inspired by the free sample period for the Home Media Option, I bought this wireless adapter to use with our TiVo2. Setting it up couldn't have been simpler - I took it out of the box, plugged one cord into the TiVo, and it automatically detected our network. To get it running, I just told the TiVo our network encryption level and password, and that was it! This is on TiVo's list of compatible USB wireless adapters, and it was one of the least expensive options when I looked, which was a big plus.

Excellent Wirless USB Adapter!!.......2003-06-27

Very easy to install and configure, and has much stronger signal than the Linksys that I have. Great unit, and I'm in the process of ordering another one.

SMC 2662W EZ Connect.......2003-01-15

This product worked flawlessly and installed without any problems under Windows XP Pro. Win XP will set up this adaptor automatically without any need to use the CD setup disk. You can save [money] by purchasing the EZ model instead of the SMC 2662W. I have both and noticed no difference in speed. Use the AP to filter MAC address to set up security.
