Customer Rating:Summary: December Review
Comment: I purchased the Linksys WUSB54GC Wireless - G Adapter. The device arrived on time and in great condition. We discovered the cable accompanying the device did not work. No harm, the device fits into the USB port on the back of the PC.

Summary: A Steal
Comment: My friend bought this for over #35 new. I got it for under $25; you do the math. I got it b/c my laptop was not strong enought to pick up wireless internet on various floors of the house. It works very perfectly, like having a router next to the laptop. Thanks amazon!

Summary: Complete garbage
Comment: I attempted to use a WUSB54GC adapter on a Windows 2000 system which runs a (low-bandwidth) server application at startup. Unfortunately, not only does this unit take 1-2 minutes to acquire a DHCP lease -- meaning there's no usable connection when the server process is launched -- but it tends to drop the lease at random intervals once acquired. (This is in a well-characterized WiFi environment with no interferers and other reliable client installations nearby.)
Installation is poor as well; I had to uninstall and reinstall the device before its configuration service would start properly.
In short, the WUSB54GC is a real piece of junk... not recommended under any circumstances.

Summary: Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter
Comment: 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.
