Works great... Plug it in and go.......2002-11-13

I use this Network Adapter for Guest computers, I pop in the CD, plug in the USB and POW!! I'm on the wireless network. A good product at a good price.

no support, intermittently freezes pc.......2002-10-07

I purchased since it was cheap, you obviously get what you pay for with this company. I have since upgraded to D-link. Causes intermittent freezing of the pc in WinME, same on my W2Kpro machine.
Faxing in an RMA form is the only way to get a response. Why not just fix their drivers.

Works well.......2002-08-23

I bought this because it was inexpensive. Works well in infrastructure mode with my Netgear MR314 router, Windows 98. Reception is average - good enough for coverage from anywhere inside my house. You can't attach an external antenna. Speed is good enough for internet use. I was able to download the latest drivers (including XP - as of April 2002) and latest firmware upgrade. I applied the firmware upgrade, but I haven't tried it with XP yet.

I've haven't had any problems, but don't expect support from Addtron.

Not the best, but good for the money........2002-07-15

I bought this becasue I was staying the summer in a complex with wireless broadband and needed a wireless USB adapter for cheap. I saw the price and dove right in. I found out that there are no drivers in the box for Windows XP, but the Windows 2000 driver included works fine. After scouring the web, I found out that the companym Addtron, doesn't support their networking products. On their site they had a link for a Windows XP driver, but the link was broken. Even after trying to call the company, I still have had no luck getting the Windows XP driver. I haven't used the adapter for much heavy use. Reception is decent, but nothing amazing.

Bottom Line: The included drivers work very well in Windows 2000 and work for the most part in Windows XP. If I could get my hands on the new XP drivers, I would be a happy camper. It works well for basic wireless conectivity, but I wouldn't use it for anything extreme.
