Comments about Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter - Draft 802.11n and 802.11b/g:
I purchase this Belkin wireless adapter about three weeks ago, but I just attached it to my new second desktop this weekend. I thought it would take about an half hour to setup, fortunately it took much less time, about 5 minutes, and it worked like a dream. I am presently surprise how fast this adapter works.

Comments about Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter - Draft 802.11n and 802.11b/g:
I use windows xp and the driver off the CD didn't install properly the first time. Called the 24hr help number and a representative who spoke English with little accent was on the phone within 2 minutes and guided me through the entire process. Now the unit works perfectly. The reception is far superior with with attached extension adapter rather than using the usb key alone.

Installing in Windows Vista was a simple -- PROVIDED you download the updated drivers from Belkin BEFORE you remove your existing adapter (assuming you're connected to the Internet). Speed seems FASTER and more stable/solid.I replaced a LinkSys G adapter with this Belkin and it has been performing above expectations since day-one. Way to go Belkin!!!
Expertise: Advanced
Problems Encountered: None ... had to download Vista drivers from Belkin.
