It shows the connection speed with the access point as 54Mbps, but when I do a speed test with my ISP, I get less than 300Kbps (downstream) whereas my other clients constantly give 1.2Mbps. Installation and set up couldn't be easier (I installed on Windows XP), but the speed is very disappointing.

On the same wireless network, I have a Netgear PC card (WG511) and a D-Link PCI Adapter (DWL-G520). I am using this on a home network with a Netgear Wireless-G access point. Eldho Thomas (Saint Louis, MO USA) December 23, 2003

I strongly suggest you try to get the latest version hardware and software for optimal performance. BEWARE: this is not an endorsement that this will work in every case nor should you conclude there is no difference between versions. The hardware specs looked identical, from what I could determine from the box, so I tried an experiment and used the version 2.0 software. this was going on a Windows 98SE machine.

I then noticed the serial number and installation software said version 1.0. When I got home, however, I noticed a small sticker that said this was for Windows 2000 and Windows XP only. One final note: this installation went so smoothly I got another adapter from a local dealer that had a price too good to pass up.

I'm using this adapter with a G network and I'm getting the full throughput. The wizard was friendly, the physical installation could not have been easier, I had all the information on hand I needed and I was wireless after the first reboot. My experience with this installation was very positive. If both the wired and wireless connections show IP address in the same range, you're ready to unplug the wired connection. If there's a difference in IP addressing ranges, reboot one more time. I do one final check by opening a command prompt and using the command "ipconfig /all" to show all my adapters. The initial connection took about two minutes, but seemed a lot longer! You will see an icon on the Bottom Right of the Task Bar indicating you are connected. If more than one network is detected, a distinct possibility with the proliferation of wireless networks, you will quickly realize the advantages of naming you network something other that the default and of applying a WEP Key to your network. Your new wireless network card will search for a signal, an access point, and you should be prompted when a network is found.
The next step could take a while, so be patient.

On boot, you computer should detect the new hardware and install the correct drivers for it.
Don't disconnect from the wired network just yet. The Wizard does a good job of walking you through each step. If you don't have the key handy, it can be input later, but it is not as convenient. You will need to supply that information during installation or you will not be able to connect right away. Make sure you know your network name and WEP Key. This will eliminate any potential problems in the installation process. Regardless of your version of Windows, I suggest installing the software first. The significance of that will be explained later. My initial installation was using Version 2.0 of the installation software. Actually, the installation is almost a simple as plugging the adapter into an available USB port. This computer may be replaced in a year or two, and unplugging the network card from a USB port seemed a lot more attractive than opening the case. I decided on the WUSB54G because I did not have any available internal slots. Look for reviews on all these items posted separately. For this review, I'll be discussing at the WUSB54G. For my initial conversions, I was converting a desktop PC and an older laptop. When it came time to make the jump to wireless, the WAP54G seemed the logical choice, as I would not have to reconfigure anything on my existing network. Already part of this network is a Linksys single port Cable / DSL Router. I have a SOHO that uses a wired 10/100 switched network. User reviews on Handy Physical Installation, Good Software Installation Mitchell Small September 5, 2004 Take a look here if you want to buy this Linksys WUSB54G USB wireless adapter! Wireless Security Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2), WEP (64bits, 128bits) And your wireless communications can be protected by industrial-strength Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption, so your data stays safe.

The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by step. (It's compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port.
