I bought three different USB adapters, I like this one for the speed it has on downloading. I like the NewerTec much better for the range it has. This USB adapter is like a three in one signal booster since it has the option of using b/g/n wireless mode & tx burst. If it had very good range I'd put 5 stars on this product, it's still a good product, the range for this is just 1 to 5% off of the NewerTec one... but this one seems to download lighting fast... well much faster then the NewerTec...

My husband bought this adapter for me so I can watch Hi-res video like he does with his new Acer laptop. I am happy with the new adapter as it does what we expected it to do. And it is very easy to use: once I got my hubby to install it, I don't have to do anything, it is always there and I am always connected.

Just like me I am sure you have tried almost all different types of wireless antenna's. There is an extra sense of love you share with the antenna if you built it yourself. If you have never built an antenna, this is a great first kit for a child or adult - easy to build in less than an hour and very powerful--. Having built my own wireless antenna's for many years, I am really excited about our new kit to build a Bi-Quad WiFi antenna. This kit is exceptionally easy to construct, versatile, and with a variety of installation options. (horizontal or vertical.) The antenna is very powerful (+12 dBi or 3-4x power increase,) yet lightweight. You can also attach the antenna to a car, or mount it on the dashboard for mobile usage. Some users of this antenna have combined it with an old dish TV antenna (available for a few dollars on Ebay,) with the result being a gain of almost +30 dBi!!!! That is a 10x power increase! Our antenna kit is fully complete, with all necessary parts and a 5' (1.5m) cable to connect it to the WiFi card, router or access point of your choice (Netgear, Dlink, Linksys and many more.) This kit comes complete with a full set of instructions. The only tool needed is a butane torch or butane lighter available from any local store or gas station. We wish you the best with this kit and if you are not 100% satisfied you may return it for a refund.

Wireless G Access Point with Srx (speed and Range Expansion)
Buy Low Price From Here Now
The Linksys Wireless-G Access Point with SRX lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g), Wireless-B (802.11b), and new SRX-enhanced devices to your wired network so you can add PCs to the network without the cabling hassle. Create a "wireless bubble" in that hard-to-wire home or office space, and save the time, hassle, and expense of running cables. Plus, notebook PCs can travel around your home or office and stay connected wherever they go.The Wireless-G Access Point with SRX combines smart antenna technology with standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. By overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, the "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the data rate. And unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G. And the farther away you are, the more advantage you get - the higher data rate and reflection-friendly technology can yield up to 8 times more throughput than Wireless-G in some situations. The access point avoids interference by dynamically switching to the clearest channel available. Even your standard Wireless-G and -B equipment will work better when communicating with an SRX-enabled access point.Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) protects your data and privacy with up to 128-bit industrial-strength encryption. You can use the MAC Address filter to decide exactly who has access to your wireless network.The Linksys Wireless-G Access Point with SRX is the best way to add wireless capability to your existing home or small office network.

I LOVE THIS THING!!!
By Joel Goodson (Chicago, IL United States)
I bought this to support just 3 users in a section of a small branch office that was too cumbersome to hardwire. Unless you want to blow your credibility as a network admin, don't put this device in your network.
It continually drops connections. I have the users trained to unplug this thing when it decides to quit working which has been at least twice a week, but now it's every day, sometimes twice. How embarrassing is that to have your users have to unplug one of you devices because Linksys didn't even have the commonsense to let you reboot it from the web interface??
I've only kept this thing around because I've been waiting for a firmware upgrade. (Current version is 1 year old at the time of writing) Can't wait any longer, I'm about to lose my job. Worst network component ever.
By Lancelink (Albany, NY)
Newsgroups are full of HORROR stories about this piece of junk. Cisco (Linksys) should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to ship these. Many of them don't work right out of the box, and the rest will soon fail. I think I'll stop buying Cisco products as well, hmmmm.

I can't tell you what you might want to buy, but it shouldn't be this unit. I've been unable to depend on it since the day I got it. I'm quite technical, having managed tech support geeks for several years, but this contraption has tried my patience. It worked sporadically for a few weeks, sometimes had good signal strength, but mostly a weak one. Well, okay, the PC that used wireless was in another building in our house, so I was willing to give it the benefit of my doubt. Then I brought the PC into the same room as the WAP and tried to tweak and fiddle with the settings on both WAP and PC, hoping to zip up the speed and make the connection more reliable. I couldn't even get connected at that point. Updated the firmware to the latest. Reset everything to factory defaults, then painstakingly entered the WPA2 key and the SSID, plus the admin password, and all the other things like allowed MAC addresses, etc. Okay, so now I can SEE the network on my PC but I can't connect. Then after a few more connection tries, I couldn't even see the network, nothing, nada, no dice. So I've gone downhill, from a sporadic and usually slow connection in another building ... to not even seeing the wireless network while I'm literally sitting next to the WAP. That's it, I give up. I've wasted at least 50 hours on this device, it's definitely not worth the money.
I bought this because I already own an industrial-strength firewall/router and didn't need another router. Maybe that's where I went wrong, don't you do the same thing! Stay away from this money and time waster.

It is in need of constant reboot. You would think that Cisco would not put their name on a piece of cr*p like this, but apparently that is not the case. If you Google this product, you will find that this is a common occurrence.
By Michael Aarons (Boston, MA USA)
I recently purchased two of these Cisco WAP4410N WAPs. The goal was to help my brother-in-law cover his large home with good quality wireless. Based on my experience doing previous WAP installations, my guess was that is would take between three and six WAPs to full cover his large house (which has lots of brick and steel) with good quality coverage. I was impressed that by strategically positioning the units I was able to cover the entire house with only two of these WAPs. The coverage consisted of three floors (one was a finished basement).
The setup of these units was simple, the firmware is stable, and configuration was straight=forward. Since they were setup they have worked flawlessly and required no further attention.
The only thing a bit unusual (for those used to Netgear, Linksys, etc.) is that you have to setup a Cisco account (no charge just register online) to be able to download firmware, etc. This ended being unnecessary because the firmware in the unit was up-to-date.
If you're looking for really good WAPs that support Wireless-N and have lots of configuration options (e.g., Mesh, Multiple SSIDs, etc.) I highly recommend this unit. It has a slightly higher price than other (consumer units) you can buy, but it definitely deserves the "business-class" label that Cisco gives it.
By D. Boontheekul
Having been fed up with the problems I've had with building my own and buying various AP's, I decided to spend a little bit more and try this one. It's been fairly dependable. I use the "fairly" qualifier, because I have had a an issue or two, but I can't be sure it wasn't a neighbor setting up a new AP on the same channel, or something like that. Otherwise it's been solid in nearly a year of service. I really appreciate that it supports IPv6 out of the box, even in the management interface. It's got a lot more control than a regular consumer AP with things like vlan support and pretending to be multiple AP's with different SSID's, etc. One other thing is that it's more and more difficult to find a decent AP only wireless AP. At the consumer level, they all seem to be wireless routers now. I already have a firewall and only wanted an AP. This fits the bill nicely. One other feature I'm not using now, but may later is PoE.
By CAPoiDog (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I just installed 2 WAP4410's on a Linksys RVS4000 router and brought them up in a basic configuration just to get the system running. I will be tuning the configuration over the next few weeks and will report the results.
Right out of the box, the units worked as advertised with zero hassle. I updated the firmware, changed the admin password, assigned both static IP addresses and resolved the host name to enable roaming which has worked well thus far. I initially enabled SSID broadcast to make it easier to find for setup, but I will eventually disable. So far (anecdotal) the speed seems good, and the APs have had no issues with a mix of a/b/g/n devices. I have no plans to enable PoE, as there are known issues with the link speed dropping to 100mb/s. So far, so good.
It has now been a month, and I have enabled a second guest SSID and have configured links with a number different devices (WGA600n gaming adapter for an Xbox360, WET610N for printer with no hassle at all). The performance and range have been excellent. No problems with the VLAN or the QoS functions for streaming.
In the final analysis; a little pricey but an excellent product. 5 Stars.

I have had this phone well over a year. It has not failed me yet. I take it with me out of town..connects to open networks everywhere. I even took it to Europe twice last year..no problems. It was wonderful being able to keep in touch with family and work in such a cheap and easy fashion. I haven't experienced the heat or complications I have been reading about. Maybe I got lucky, but I would buy another one in a NY minute.
By Paul Liesenberg (bay area, california)
Some reviews already exist, so I'll be brief and to the point.
If you're not technology literate and expect things to work out of the box, stay away from this. Really - it's not plug_and_play. If you like to fiddle and take pride in having next gen technology work for you, you may like it. Even love it. And hey, if you have family in Europe (like I do) you will save money using this, despite the fact that long distance bills aren't what they used to be...
You *know* what Skype is, right? If you haven't used it on your PC before, forget it and stop right away. As a Skype user, for long I have wanted to replace my house landline with a Skype phone. And since I am moving out of my house for a year or more, this is a chance to set things up with next generation technology. No phone in the house. My cell and the Skype connectivity ought to be more than enough.
The phone is well packaged and appealingly designed. The cool white color and overall minimalist design display represent highlights. The packaging is simple - instructions (which you may just as well toss away, as we shall see), the phone with battery and battery cover you assemble together quickly, and finally a charger with a USB connector - simply to charge the battery. The phone itself is remarkably easy to navigate and naturally intuitive with people who have used Skype and with cell phones, it's a hybrid between the two, but geared to simply connect to a wireless router and become a stand alone Skype handset. The keyboard layout is simple, and the menu easy to navigate with the little navigation pad and the 2 softkeys.
From here, I thought things would be easy, power the phone up and then the menu seemed simple and intuitive - and my wireless setup is simple (WEP 64) and I know it by heart. But the WIP320 refused to connect. There are not many connectivity options to try, and I knew the wireless network just works.
So I had to be off to the Linksys.com support area. Lo and behold, hidden in there is a new firmware section that you *MUST* download. You *MUST* - go there right away. This required a USB cable from computer to WIP320 that is not included in the box, but if you're like me you have plenty of them around (they come with every second USB gadget).
The software update is quite fundamental. You have to download 24MB, not an unsubstantial upgrade package. You have to start with the phone turned off, and the a secret and awkward key combination that will get your WinXP computer to find a driver caller Gadget or something like that (not very intuitive) and then the upgrade process will go on and take 20 minutes or so. Not a gentle get-to-know each other phase, as you may have gathered. I am used to first generation gadgets, but this one had eve me whistling though my teeth a little.
Now to the good news: With the upgrade, the phone connected to my wireless network.
So with the installation complete, how does it work? Nicely. Very decent voice quality (which admittedly one should expect from a $80+ phone) and familiar Skype functionality. It just works.
I have not experienced any functional issues, the phone does not get warm, and the wireless functionality seems stable. Battery life seems a tad inconsistent - it will be OK at times, then again go down in big steps very quickly. But I have not run out of power.
The build quality of the phone seems somewhat flimsy, though, with key press and such feeling "cheap", but that is just an opinion and a matter of taste. I am also a tad surprised that ring tones are so limited in an expensive phone. And while having a compact cell phone format is nice, I'd prefer this phone to be a big bigger and substantial, since it is my home phone. Perhaps less plasticky feeling. But I understand other users may carry them around from Hotspot to Hotspot, and demand portability - and probably in a few years we basically all will.
Some limitations... inconsistent battery level indicator, and the power budget is definitely on the tight side - keep the phone next to your bed overnight, and the battery will be near empty the next mornin - without having made a call. Probably another firmware release away, but then again WiFi is always going to be powerhungrier than other technologies, I guess, part of the price you pay for next gen technology.
Also, for some reason I would have expected the phone to be more configurable when it came to ringtones and such - Skype allows one to import tones into the application, this phone does not. Vwery configurable it isn't. But Linksys seems to release open source code for it, so probably one will find more personalized stuff over time - a wake-up function would be nice, for example.
All in all, I am glad that Linksys presents me with this alternative to traditional telephony - it just works (after some initial fiddling that may be too much for the average user).
By C. Robertson (USA)
We purchased this phone in Februrary '08, & over the last six months have been pleased. We live aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean, & Skype is the only good (cheap + reliable) calling option. The phone seems to be as good as the internet connection. Sometimes excellent; other times not so. The battery is fine for our sometimes hour-long calls with plenty of juice left. What I don't get is why the price has gone up so much. We paid $119 with free shipping. It's worth that much. For $259, get a headset & use the computer! Not worth the expense.
By S.C. (Newark, DE, USA)
I would not reccommend buying this product. It is a big pain to use this device. Frequent drop calls, no outgoing caller ID are few problems I faced!!!
By K. Lea (MD, USA)
I bought this product about a month ago. It's useful while working around the house with a wireless broadband connection, however, it's not that useful while away from your base.
It works on "open" wireless networks but not "free" wireless networks. Some wireless connections, such as those at McDonalds, are free. You can use a laptop to tap into the system easily but you can't use the IPhone to log in. Battery life is OK. Talk time is 2+ hours and standby time is about 20 hours before charging.
