Electronics : Belkin G+ Wireless USB Network Adapter 125MbpsRating: - Stay clear & buy something else!I had no idea how fast and reliable my broadband connection was until this piece of rubbish one day decided to die on me. I persevered with this unstable, unreliable piece of kit for 6 months, Tried everything: having firstly with Belkins own software (waste of memory and useless), then uninstalling the software and used just the drivers, both with and without the adaptor (which appears to have no effect whatsoever). Slight improvement once I'd uninstalled the Belkin software, but I just got so frustrated how one minute I'd have 'excellent' then the next 'poor', or anything inbetween. Even when the connection appears to be excellent, it can be so slowwww. As I'd spent £30 on it (at the time) I stuck with it although almost throwing it out the window on several occasions! Last week, it decided to throw in the towl altogether and I'm now SO glad it did. My friend gave me a Netgear WG111v2 adaptoe (only 54Mb/s) and it flys by in comparison. Now I have stable, fast connection. Just wish I'd thrown the Belkin in the bin months ago!! Rating: - RubbishTried to use with Vista.Absolute pig to try and run.Do not touch this if using Vista.Could load with XP,but still had problems with network going off and on. Rating:  - excelent i will back the other good review , i have been using one of these adapters for about two years, never had a problem with it at all, has been excellent and easy to use. therefore about to buy another one Rating: - Ive had this for a while now....Dont just hear one side of the coin.....this is a great device for Windows XP...easy installation and fool proof ive used it for a long time. But i am now running it on Windows Vista for about 2 months, it wouldnt install off the cd...i had to go to my Windows Old (Vista creates this when i upgraded it keeps all of your old files/programs) then i copied and pasted all the Belkin folder contents into the new directory that was created when i tried to install from the cd....worked....not ideal but it doesnt say Vista compatible anyway. Bottom line= if you have Windows XP get it. IF you have Vista DONT.....its that simple. Rating: - Worked for a week and then stopped altogetherThis adapter installed fine under XP and ran faultlessly for 48hrs and then intermittently for a couple more days but then stopped working altogether after a week!!. Tried to install on another PC and different network just to make sure it was not a fault on the PC or router. Adapter was as dead as a Dodo!! Returned for refund from Amazon (Thank you) and probably will never buy another Belkin product again. |
