Connect your USB-equipped desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network at incredible speeds with the Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster. Using your high-speed USB 2.0 port, the Adapter delivers incredible data rates without the trouble of opening up the case of your computer. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster incorporates the next generation of Wireless-G to increase your "real-world" wireless network performance by up to 35%! And with SpeedBooster you'll see an overall speed improvement even when running a mixed network of SpeedBooster and regular Wireless-G devices.

To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. And the new push button setup feature makes it easy to configure. Just push the button on the Access Point and on your other SecureEasySetup-enabled wireless device to automatically create a safe connection, protected by the industrial-strength security of 256-bit Wireless Protected Access (WPA2) encryption.

The USB Network Adapter lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space with other computers on the network.

So don't hassle with running cables through your house - get connected to Wireless-B, Wireless-G, and SpeedBooster wireless networks the easy way with the Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster.

    A few quirks

    By Neil A  Jul 1, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster WUSB54GSC review helpful

    Pros: Works

    Cons: Not durable over the day

    When I first installed the product, I had problems with the infamous gina.dll program, and I discovered a way around it. Instead of installing the whole program from the disk, connect the adapter to the computer and just install the drivers from the... CD. The problem I have is that you can't be on the internet for a long period of time. After about an hour, the adapter starts to overheat and shuts down, and before you know it, you're disconnected from the internet. I have to safely remove it from the USB port, let it sit for a few minutes to cool off before getting back online. Later on, it goes from and hour to a half hour to 10 minutes to a point where you want to turn off the computer and go outside for a while. If that wasn't the case, I'd highly recommend the product. Works just like a normal wireless device with a decent range. Read more Less
