A few quirks
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: 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. ...
