Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network AdapterCustomer Review: Perfect connection, great wireless speed Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for use with a new D-Link Wireless N router, but I haven't installed the router yet, so I've just been using it with my current Wireless G router. I'll update my review if I experience any problems with the N connection.
I installed this adapter on the back of my new desktop Windows XP machine (the wired cradle is helpful, too, should you need to position the receiver for better reception). I opted for a wireless network, rather than running cable through the walls, and I think it was a good decision. I ran the installation disk to get the drivers, and when I plugged in the adapter, it picked up the signal immediately. It has its own wireless configuration utility, and it makes it easy to identify and connect to any nearby networks. I'm in a small condo complex, and I'm pulling in more network signals with this little guy than my girlfriend's Mac notebook. So, it seems to be a good choice if you're in a crowded building, or if you need extended range out of your Wi-Fi receiver.
The wireless connection has so far been rock-solid. I'm only connected over G (Netgear WGR-614v8 from a broadband Cable modem), and I haven't even noticed that I'm wireless. I am one floor above the router, and I have full-bars signal all day. I get remarkable and reliable download and uploads speeds, and I haven't experienced any disconnects that I've noticed. I can fly around Google Earth seamlessly.
I'll report back if my opinion changes once I hook up with the Wireless N router. My only complaint might be the price. It's not the cheapest USB-N adapter out there, but I went with the good reviews. I'd imagine the prices on all of the N equipment will drop very soon, once the standard becomes official.
A final update: I've been using the adapter with a D-Link wireless-N router for a few months now. It has worked perfectly. It is one floor up, directly above the router, so the connection is no problem. The speed is unquestionably fast. I've seen some really quick transfer rates from my cable modem. The effect is exactly what I wanted--as if it were a wired connection.
