Worked great for me., January 3, 2005
By Jonathan Fisher
I couldnt use cardbus or pcmcia on my laptop so my only choice was to use a USB nic. I bought this one for $15 and it has worked great. Slower than a PCI 802.11g would be but usb is limited to 13mbps anyway. Easy installation, just installed the software and plugged it in. Took me about 8-10 minutes to install. Also, it is easily transferable, I can provide networking ability to any computer with USB by just pulling out the NIC and plugging it in another computer. Definately buy this nic. Check out prices at pricewatch.com, you should be able to get it for less than half the price.

I bought this at my local Walmart store about six months ago. It was easy to set up with my router and it's been running ever since. it was a great value for the price, definitely would recommend it.

Don't bother, unless you're married to Bill Gates, July 20, 2004
By tangentman80 (Rhode Island)
I bought this under the impression that it worked with Linux and the Mac. Though it didn't say so on the box, a friend had one and the drivers for Linux, Mac, and Windows were on the disk. I worked on setting it up in Linux for 4 days to no avail. When I tried to set it up on my roommate's G4 Powerbook I had many of the same problems as before. After 2 calls to IBlitzz, dealing with people who hadn't a clue, I was told that my issue was given Level 2 status and that someone would contact me the next day. Today I got an email saying that the BWU613B is not supported on the Mac.

Easy Install with Good Range, March 23, 2004
By Ms. Donna (South Carolina)
Very easy to install with the quick start guide provided. I had the option to use the 3rd. party software or use windows xp wireless utility program.(I used XP's utility) It took about 30 mins to get the windows program to work using the WEP 128 encryption setting for the wireless network. My range is excellent in the house and about 60 ft.(maybe more) outside. I know alot of people have a hard time installing a wireless network but the best way to ensure success is to have a clean, uncluttered system and read and understand the instructions before you start. Go to blitzz's website and download the upgraded driver before you start anything. One wrong program setting can ruin the whole set-up.

Terrible, March 9, 2004
By scstavert (Rancho Cucamonga, CA United States)
the point of a wireless network is to be able to have a computer a decent distance (like upstairs) away from the acces point. This product WILL NOT DO THIS!DONT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE PCs IN THE SAME ROOM!

Buyers beware, February 23, 2004
By Michael Rizzardi (Minersville, PA United States)
I purchased the Blitzz Netwave Base II and 2 Blitz PCI wireless cards to hook up a wireless network between 3 systems. The base would be used on my Pentium 4 2.0 Gig on the second floor of my home. The other 2 PC's are located on the 3rd floor (about 50 feet from the base). I cannot get a sufficient connection at that distance. I called Tech support and was told that the 3 systems must be within 25 feet of each other for proper connection. Unless your PC's are in the next room on the same floor, I would not buy this product. All this aside....the install was easy and setup was easy. I'm returning mine and going to a wired network.
