    Easy to use and lots of storage space. Got it on sale as the price of storage has dropped considerably. It is always wise to back up your sap data and that is what I use this for. .

    At first, I wasn't able to connect my new Linksys, but after following the instructions it picked up my home router's signal and it's been great ever since. Thanks a million!

    I needed to get an old laptop without a wireless card connected to the internet to transfer some files. The Cisco adapter was a great solution. Easy to use - just plug it in!

    A very good usb network adapter. Two minute setup with Windows 7. Signal is not quite as strong as with an internal adapter, but very acceptable in a small office environment.

    The device performs very well, and I'm quite happy with it, but like anything sticking out of your PC, beware of someone accidentally kicking it, it bends easily.

    I purchased this product in hopes of using an older laptop (Visio, HP)in the living room. The unit did not provide the speed I expected. My home is a Manufactured home on one floor 1100sq ft. My router is located in the back bedroom I use as an office. There are two walls separating the back to the living room. I do not blame the product just my older units. I am not disappointed in buying this device as I love to tinker all the time and always wind up having a use for everything. I would recommend to a friend, however wait for the A/C routers to come out.

    Old wireless adapter failed. Read many reviews and finally settled on this one. I chose well - simple to install and have had no problems so far.

    I have two different wireless usb adapters and this one is good, but occasionally my son has issues with connection, not sure if it's the internet or the adapter, but the other adapter is also lynksys but seems to work a little better. I believe it is the next model up from this one.

      Hi BestBuyCust72,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Linksys wireless adapter. Allow us to look into your challenges you have with the wireless adapter. It's possible that the intermittent connection is due to wireless interference in your network. Try swapping the adapters and observe if you still get the same behavior with the AE2500 on a different computer. You also need to make sure that the adapter's drivers are up to date.

      Here's how to update the drivers: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=76f938fa51d94887992168eeffc88b95_Updating_the_Driver_of_your_AM10.xml.

    This adapter works well, and it was extremely cheap when I purchased. If you are going to purchase it, I'd price match it to Amazon.
