 GOOD SIGNAL & EASY SET UP September 28, 2004
160 out of 163 found this review helpful
I bought this together with Netgear's 54 Mbps wireless router (WGR614v4) to wirelessly share our broadband internet connection with the kids' computer.
Once I had set up the router it only took a few minutes to install the adapter. Simply load the software, plug in the adapter and follow a few simple instruction. It located the network straight away plus another network which must be in the vicinty.
The kids' computer is upstairs about 20m away with a thick wall in between. The signal strength is fairly good and my sons have been surfing merrily for 10 days without losing the connection once.(touch wood!)
Setting up security with WEP (Wired Eqivalent Privacy) was also easy. I simply had to enable WEP on the router, type in a passphrase and 4 encryption keys were generated. The adapter's program allows you to generated the same keys by typing in the same passphrase.
It comes with a 5ft USB cable enabling you to place the adapter in the best and safest position.
The tranfer rate is a litle slow because the computer only has USB 1.1 capability whereas the adapter has USB 2 capability. Having said that it is still much quicker than dial up and the kids haven't complained.
We haven't been able to share files and the printer yet but I think that's a case of figuring out how to confiqure Windows and the router. I'll submit a review of the router once I've worked out file sharing and ironed out a small problem with the laptop dropping connections.
As far as the USB adapter is concerned it's thumbs up!!!
Nifty bit of kit March 19, 2006

After reading the first review here for this USB fob I was a bit wary. But I had set up Netgear routers in the past for others. Opted for the DG834G router. Ordered and hoped for the best.Laptop works anywhere in the house with one of these WG111s and I have since purchased another for the desktop to get rid of the wires running from dining room to study! Both work really well, and never had a problem. Wonderfully easy tpo set up as well.

Very easy to install, even for a techno-phobe like me.Solid performance - it really does what it says on the tin (or box)

Works very well. The warning does come up that the driver is not digitally signed, but it installs and works fine. It does not pick up my meighbour's signals, which is relief! This has enabled me to move my desktop to my upstairs study and keep the Netgear DG834G box at the telephone point. It does not interfere with my wireless laptop.Highly recommended for people wanting to set their desktops free.
A great little gadget, works a treat August 6, 2005

I bought this to add a PC to my wireless network. The supplied software made it easy to set up and put in the encryption details to keep my network secure. The signal is very good and so far it has never dropped a connection. Allows the second PC to share the broadband connection at a really good speed. Bravo!
