Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin F5D6050 Wireless USB Network Adapter

Customer Review: works through my condo ceiling
Summary: 5 Stars

Wireless depends so much on environment, but here in the burbs, in a nice old brick co-op, I have this device sharing my upstairs neighbor's broadband connection, via her Linksys wireless router. Signal strength is showing pretty low, but even fixing the TxRate at 11Mbps works beautifully, with no lost frames. There's an auto setting to optimize the TxRate in the event of an unreliable signal, and 11Mbps is way more than broadband needs, AFAIK.

The installation under Win98 was accomplished seamlessly, truly PNP; it hopped right on the network and got all the info it needed from DHCP. Which reminds me, always restrict access to (and encrypt) your wireless network, unless you want to give free bandwidth to any chucklehead in a 200 ft radius. This chucklehead helps his neighbor with her computer pretty often and I plan on proposing that I continue to do so free of charge and/or share the costs. Power to the people!

Update: During the first week of use, the indicated signal strength climbed from 15 to usually over 40%. For transparent access to broadband via a Linksys wireless router, this device has been flawless!
