Duration of ownership: 2 Years

Strengths: Nothing in particular

Weaknesses:Needs its own software to operate. Bad antenna positioning.

Overall Evaluation: Let's see.... Where to begin.... When I first put it in, the antenna was always interfering with the rest of the cables coming out of the back of my computer. That is, it would hit my soundcard stuff, my monitor cable, etc. It's as if they designed it for one of those computers that sits sideways under your monitor. Then the software. It needs its proprietary driver/controller software to work. You can't just install a driver, and let Windows control it. To top it off, the software is pretty crappy.Once you get everything installed, it takes a lot of effort for it to find a network. If it connects, great. If it drops the connection again, it takes a few minutes for it to find it again.I bought this one the premise that USR made good stuff. I guess things have changed from when I remember them.

Duration of ownership: 1 Months

Strengths: Good reputation product

Weaknesses:

Overall Evaluation: Very happy with it and the company's delivery and service thus far. Getting a strong signal immediately. Good quality name and reputation. Affordable. Ease of installation.While I'm getting a strong signal, I am still struggling with getting a page to view in my browser. This is no reflection whatsoever on Eagle Computer Systems or US Robotics (both with whom I am very satisfied), but with a slight incompatibility of the router being used and the the Adapter I purchased. I just have to get the proper settings and hope to be successful soon. Would purchase from this company again.

Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

Strengths: Works great, even better than integrated wireless card on my laptop.

Weaknesses:N/A

Overall Evaluation: When you install drivers, also installs USR wireless program, with which one you can configure everything. I didn't like it very much, but as long as card works fine I have no problems.

Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Excellent signal strength, compact size, has the ability to dobule the speed with a USR Router.

Weaknesses:None that I have really found

Overall Evaluation: It's an overall good wireless card for desktops. I had tried another card and the signal strength was poor (about 12%-20%) but with this card, I can get 65%-75% signal strength (and that is from approximately 60 feet away, one story up, in an "electronically cluttered" area). Pretty good in my opinion...

Duration of ownership: 8 Months

Strengths: Works perfectly, easy install

Weaknesses:None

Overall Evaluation: Replaced a defective microsoft adapter. It was very easy to install even though router is a different brand. Got strong throughput where had previously been weak. Have not had to use tech support. Got this for a very low price with rebate. Recommended.
