Linksys wireless b usb adapter, March 19, 2006
By Elaine Schlenker
This product works great in our basement, which is far from the base linksys unit. I would hightly recommend.

Works great, March 18, 2006
By R. Windle (Collegeville, PA United States)
I use this unit on my desktop PC which is located upstairs and at the other end of the house from the router. A good distance away and lots of walls. The speed is faster than other wireless connections in the same room as the router. I recommend this for any home wireless system.

works great but needs lockout, March 3, 2006
By a dad
This item works great but it connects any signal it receives, even from the neighbors to the computer. If you unplug your cable modem at bedtime the kids can still run their computers off the neighbors signal. By using the neighbors signal they can also ignore your wireless router that has buit in parental web filtering. This device needs a password protected feature to restrict access to signals other than your own.

This network adapter wonderfully works with XP. It gives very steady, strong signals. From many perspective, it is better than many 11g models. I would give it a five star. One thing to mention though, this item has several different versions. Ver 4 being the current version does not work with TIVO. Contact vendor before making a purchase if you want it for your TIVO setup.

3B Tech has terrible customer service, February 18, 2006
By Thomas L. Craine
Do not buy anything from 3B Tech. They will not accept returns for any reason.
Use Newegg or Tiger Direct.
I am now stuck with an item I cannot use, or re-sell.

By Luckyfella13 (Charlotte, NC)
Great product. Older model that matched my linksys router when I added a desktop to my network. Works great!

Linksys WUSB11 Wireless-B USB Network Adapter, January 31, 2006
By C. Sorensen (Provo, UT USA)
I gave it 4 stars because of the 11 Mbs top speed, but I knew this going in. It works fine for what I am currently doing. It was easy to setup and has worked flawlessly. It should really be 5 stars.

WiFi for a TiVo unit, January 30, 2006
By Bellinghamster (Bellingham, WA USA)
We used this USB-WiFi adapter for a TiVo we received for Christmas 2005. It connects the DVR to a preexisting household 802.11b wireless network, supported by a D-Link base station one floor up and about sixty feet away laterally. Everything works fine. Setup was straight-forward.
Since the Linksys unit only supports 128 bit WEP encryption, we had to drop back from the 256 bit WEP encryption we had previously been using. In our suburban location, surrounded by totally unprotected home WiFi networks, and not having any big secrets to hide, this encryption compromise didn't seem material.

TIVO network, January 30, 2006
By Jerry (Chicago)
I bought this adapter to create a wireless TIVO network. After plugging the adapter to the back of the series 2 Tivo recorder and downloading the desktop, I had an instant wireless network. It was set up in minutes and has operated flawlessly.

Good value, easy set-up, January 29, 2006
By Chris A. Ronzio (Boston, MA, USA)
Before purchasing this product, I bought the newer model from Staples, which was said to accept more wireless frequencies (B+G) and have faster speeds. While this may have been true in an ideal setting, my computer is on a different floor than my router, and I could not pick up a signal. However, when I plugged my old WUSB11 Wireless B-Adapter in, the signal was excellent. For some reason, this product is much better at receiving the B frequency than its newer counterpart, which I immediately returned.
I now have three of these, and I would recommend them to anyone who has trouble getting wireless signals in a certain room (as long as you have the correct router to match). You should also be prepared to accept the 11.0 Mbps speed... slower than we might like, but far far far above dial-up.

5 Minute Installation, January 15, 2006
By Tycoon T
Excellent product. I have used linksys wireless products to create wireless networks for my parents, my inlaws, as well as my own home - all different high speed internet providers. Each installation has taken less than 5 minutes - by following their step by step quick guide installation leaflet.
Very good, consistent signal strength - even through concrete walls.

Great Adapter, But not for Tivo, December 1, 2005
By cm
This is a great wireless USB adapter at a great price however it is the version 4 which is not as good as the previous version. The changes make little (or no) difference to PC users running Windows, but for those running Linux, or someone that wants to hook it up to their Tivo you will be disapointed to learn that it dosen't work. Previous version of the Linksys WUSB111 did work with these system, buyt not Ver. 4.

It works... eventually, November 9, 2005
By last video gamer (Cincinnati)
This product will work with windows 98 however much tweaking is needed and many hours on tech support. One thing I will say is this adapter randomly decideds which XP computers it wants to work on. I have it configured corectly but why make a product that goes against windows thats made for windows? If you ask me you should have to configure it to work against windows not the other way around!

plug and play, November 2, 2005
By Rob (San Diego, CA)
I plugged it in and within 5 minutes was up and surfing the web on the PC in my garage, which is outside about 30 yards away from my access point and through about 5 walls. Still I get an excellent signal. So much easier than running CAT5 all over the place!

Worked easily with both TIVO and desktop computer, October 30, 2005
By x84227 (Honolulu, HI)
Gets better reception than my former Netgear MA111 USB adaptor for both TIVO and Windows XP Home edition computer. Painless to setup.

Linksys problems, October 17, 2005
By Rebecca S. Young (Maine, USA)
I purchased this product, described as specifically designed to work with Windows 98 Second Edition, but am unable to use it. I was able to install it and connect to the internet for a short time, then my computer shuts itself off while I am connected to the internet. I took the computer to a shop where they checked everything and reloaded Windows but it still is not compatible and shuts my computer down at random times. I can't use it. I'm frustrated that it is billed as working with Windows 98 SE and it doesn't, at least for me. I wasted my money on the adapter as well as $80 for the "repair" that didn't help.

Working Fine, October 16, 2005
By rashee (U.S.A.)
It took a few customer service calls before it started working on my Win 98 system. It is working fine now.
