Does not say that you have to have Windows Service Pack 1 to install adapter. There are many people like me that have a hard time with Vista and installing the service packs. If you have that same problem do not buy this at all,

Was a terrible experience. Bought it because I wanted a quick and easily process. It didn’t work, didn’t even light up. Super upset. Spent 3 days with their support trying to fix it and over a hour on hold. Gonna end up returning it and buying a new one…

Hi, Daniel,
We can isolate the setback by plugging the unit into the other USB ports of the computer used if available. Before setting it aside, our Escalation Engineers would like to take a closer look at your experience and help you figure out what's causing this to happen. With the link to this review and your contact details, please send us an email at [email protected].

Annoying

This product was a breath of fresh air when I first got it, but after a while it stopped working on my USB 3 port and constantly shut off. It now only works with my USB 2 port and inst as fast as it was before. If there was a fix I would give it a better rating.

Hi Smug,
We suggest that you try to use the USB adapter with another computer that has a USB 3.0 port to check if the same behavior is observed. Also, we can have our Second Level Technicians look into this so that they can provide further troubleshooting.
Just send us your contact details at [email protected] so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.
We hope to hear from you soon.

This USB key does not stay connected to my home network. I have a wireless AC router about 10 feet from it across my living room, but this key constantly disconnects.

Hi, Phillip,
This is not the behavior that we expected from your WUSB6300 Wireless Adapter. We suggest unplugging and re-plugging the adapter into your computer’s USB port. After plugging the adapter, check the Device Manager to see if the driver is working properly. Update us how it goes at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this post. Our Escalation Engineers will take care of this.
