Excellent wirless networking solution and portable

I am running a “pre-N” network which simply means it’s faster than G speed and with greater range. I bought this adapter for my kids PC about 35 feet away and through an interior wall. The download speeds are nearly as fast as my wired connection - I’m amazed.

Although I’m an advanced user (20 years with a home PC - built a few over the years) getting this device up and running was simply plug and play. I was online in 5 minutes. The connection is rock solid - no drops or loss of speed after a few weeks use. BTW, I opted for USB so the unit can be used on a new PC down the road (since it won’t be obsolete for a long while given the speed).

Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Mac OS 10.3 - this one works!
After searching far and wide for wireless card for my old G4 Titanium Powerbook, I happened on this one from Belkin. It’s BIG and cumbersome, but works flawlessly with OS 10.3.9.

I had previously purchased a Sonnet Aria Extreme card for this book, but it was defective and was returned. I understand that a LOT of these Sonnet cards have trouble.

The Belkin wireless G comes with a CD, and drivers for both OS 10.3 and 10.4 are on the disk, contrary to other posts. This may be a new development from Belkin, as I purchased the adapter in late March 2008. I get great range and speed with this adapter, and would recommend it to anyone with an older Mac laptop, running at least OS 10.3, who needs a wireless solution.

Does the job with XP Drivers
I have an older XP Pro PC running on a Pentium 4 / 3.0 Mhz. After running the Belkin software and plugging the device in all looked promising, and I in my WEP key, and it was accepted, then I got repeated messages that do not communicate with the network server with my computer. As in several reviews, I went to the Belkin utility and selected the option on Windows utility "Run … and now it works great to 54.0 Mbps in a bedroom on the second floor of my router. Uninstall the Belkin software and the operation of the Windows Hardware Wizard made it work faster / better with less icons / distractions. So if your PC is XP, bypass the Belkin software and go straight for the Windows install new hardware and you should have a good experience with this product have.
