“does an ok job” 2010-02-07

I haven’t had an issue yet with it. It does take quite awhile for the adapter to connect to the network upon starting the computer.

“Works with Linux” 2010-01-07

Just in case anyone is looking, this worked fine with Ubuntu. This adapter completely outshines the Rosewill one I had that shot craps. It is a bit big though. About two fingers width, so even on a desktop you might want to use the cradle/mount thing that it comes with. All in all, I would buy another one.

These are great for children desktops. If you don’t want them to have internet/network access, just remove the thing. Big points in my book.

“Belkin F5D9050 Wireless G Plus MIMO USB Network Adapter Review” 2009-12-13

This product does what it’s designed to do. Good range, good signal and easy installation. 5 stars, highly recommended. Go Belkin!

“Works great without problems” 2009-12-08
By Jerry Walker (Dallas, TX)
Some reviewers complained of problems with the included software and said that they had connection problems, weak signals, etc. Despite this I decided to take a chance and order since I’ve been pleased with other Belkin products. I’ve got to admit that I began the installation with a lot of fear. If anyone would have a bad experience, it surely would be me. But now I have to say that I don’t understand the negative reviews. The installation went very smoothly. I thought about not using the software but did anyway. You can install it and then turn it off, but why? I tried turning it off to use the Windows network utility. That’s when the problems began. I quickly went back to Belkin’s software. It operates just as it should every single time. I turn on the computer, the information box opens, the machine is connected, and away we go. Not a single time has there been some connection issue. I haven’t bothered to run a speed test, but I’m not aware of any difference between that computer and my brand new Dell with the built in wireless connection. I don’t have a need for another one of these, but if I did, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another. 100% happy.
