  Duration of ownership: 10 Months

  Strengths: works ok when it works

  Weaknesses:drops signal constantly - loses it about 4-5 times in an 8 hour work day

  Overall Evaluation: You need to unplug it and plug it back in when it freezes up. Buy something else - this is not worth the time to deal with.

  Strengths: When it works, it works OK

  Weaknesses:Getting it to work remains a mystery

  Overall Evaluation: I have two of these, on similar computers sitting almost next to each other. One gets a strong signal, the other does not (note: this has no impact on wireless throughput, which is high in both cases). The green LED light on the good one is always on, on the not so good one seldom on. What gives, Belkin? But, when it starts to work, it seems to stay working for a long time. Until I change something, such as my monitor. The monitor? Yes, the monitor. It took about 6 hours after I installed a new monitor for the not so good Belkin antenna to start working correctly. My last, successful, step was to deinstall it and reinstall it. The Belkin software, by the way, is a dictionary definition of el crappo. But the little thing sure is cute, sitting there on top of my CPU. If it weren't for the emotional attachment I have developed, I would crush it under the heel of my jackboot and send the carcass back to Belkin. Grrr...

  Strengths: Sometimes it works.

  Weaknesses:Disconnects randomly, included software is terrible, weak signal strength, pretty much everything.

  Overall Evaluation: You get what you pay for. If I would have known how terrible this product was I would have opted for a more expensive one. I do plan on replacing it and promptly throwing it in the trash. Wouldn't sell this thing to my worst enemy. Do yourself a favor, don't buy it.

  Strengths: There are no strengths...none...zip...zero...cero...nada...zilch!!!

  Weaknesses:I had to fight to get it to connect each and every time...the thing is a total POS and I told the company that too.

  Overall Evaluation: DON'T BUY IT. IN FACT, IT IS SAYS BELKIN, JUST PUT YOUR WALLET BACK IN YOUR POCKET AND GO ON. THERE ARE TOO, TOO MANY GOOD COMPANIES AROUND TO BOTHER WITH THIS ONE.

  Strengths: Adequate when it feels like working, but it does nothing particularly well. Best feature is the stand and cable allows flexibility in its placement.

  Weaknesses:If you run Windoze XP there is about a 60-40 chance it will work. If you run 2K or older, Linux, UNIX, or Mac OS the odds get much worse.

  Overall Evaluation: This adapter is a crap shoot, I've used this on a dozen or more different machines and sometimes they work other times they don't. The bottom line is this is a badly engineered, poorly manufactured POS, that when combined with Belkin's notoriously bad software and utterly helpless technical support, will suck up hours and hours of your life and when/if you do get it to work the performance is lackluster at best.If it works, it installs easily and quickly, if not, you are much better off returning it and buying a quality product. I should also point out that Ms. Alphawolf and I have over 25 years experience as IT professionals and we have dedicated far too much time trying to get this to work consistently.
