 Fast, reliable and easy to use... Jan 03, 2009
PRO's:
This is the 2nd Linksys WUSB54G I have bought as I have found them simple to install (see exception below), reliable and they provide great throughput / speed. I use one on an XP machine and the other on a Vista machine, both worth impeccably. Never dropped my WiFi connection (unlike others I have owned) and speed always seems to stay at 54Mbps even when 100ft and 2 floors away from my WiFi base station.
CON's:
Not a biggie, but worth a mention... Instructions placed on top of everything else in the box state to insert the CD and install the drivers before doing anything else... further down in the provided literature and manuals is a note stating VISTA users should not use the CD but download drivers from Linksys! - Not the brightest of moves by Linksys/Cisco. Luck enough I actually spotted the latter note prior to installing the CD based driver. Others may not be so lucky.
 Still works great after 6 years. Dec 31, 2008
I've had this adapter for about 6 years now, and it's never given me any problems. I've used it on 2 different desktop computers, and with 8 different wireless routers, in houses and apartments both. The routers were of all different brands, but only 1 of them was a Linksys as well. It's easy to install, and doesn't seem to drop the connection (unless of course it's the router that's having a problem!)
The only issue I've ever had with it? It has to be plugged directly into the computer itself. You can't use a hub with it, it just doesn't work for some reason (though using the adapter cord is fine as long as the cord is plugged into the computer.)
Solid Connection Dec 29, 2008
This little guy set up easy and connects solid. It is obviously a little bit incovenient to have an external receiver with another usb wire but it's not bad on a desktop if you have room. This is hooked up to my TV PC so I watch Netflix movies over the internet and the connection keeps up no problem at the highest quality available. Downloads and file transfers are also quick. For the price you can't go wrong here.
 Linux users beware, probably Mac users too. Nov 03, 2008
I originally had the WUSB54Gv4 Linksys adapter on an XP desktop, which worked okay. Though there was a wall in the way, I wasn't very impressed that it only got a 30% signal from a router 8-9ft away. Then I got sick of windows and installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. It took me two weeks to get this thing working, and then when I almost had the driver installed, the computer crashed. Never had any problems with Ubuntu on my laptop, but this was a headache. You can probably find a better product for the same price, just keep looking.
Footnote: While trying to find drivers, I stumbled into several other owners with similar problems, and one posted a letter from Linksys in response to an inquiry about Linux support, and Linksys replied that this product was intended for Windows, no Linux or Mac.
Great little wireless adaptor Nov 02, 2008
I had purchsed a Linksys router and set up a wireless network in my house. However I had a PC on the far end of the house. I dreaded the idea of opening up the box to install a card. Its not something I like to do. A friend reocmmended the Linksys WUSB54G Wireless Adapter. It works great! No opening the box. No fussing with screws. Just follow the instructions on the CD and plug the device into a USB port. This will make it very convenient if I need to use it on another computer that doesn't have a wireless card.
