Works very well - Following the advice above, i downloaded the software from the Edimax site. I get a very good signal strength and 100% link. I previously bought a Belkin G+MIMO Desktop Card (£30+) and that isn t anything like as good as this £11+ Edimax.
Unbelievable - I didn t expect much but I wanted to try something that didn t cut out as regularly as my old Netgear wg111t.....have got to say that my signal strength has been at LEAST 91% with this beauty and has not dropped out yet. I am at the furthest point of my house and I have even picked up 4 other networks in the street! Buy it and you shan t be disappointed. Superb product.
Disconnected - Bought this on basis of other reviews for use in Inveratec laptop and Orange box to provide backup to erratic Intel built-in adapter. Whatever I do it always shows disconnected. Downloaded up to date drivers from Edimax site,tried included connection software and Windows WZC, also reloaded drivers a number of times but no go although everything appears to be working.Not for me it seems.
What a wonderful product - Received this morning set up in 10 minutes which is very good for me as I am not very good at this kind of thing, more than impressed with it. It found my BT Home Hub with no problems. Small Price, Great Performace 98% Signal Strength.
Very good value for money - I persevered with a Belkin Wireless network for 2-3 years and thought it was an occupational hazard that the signal varied, dropped, refused to connect (sometimes) and often slowed without reason. You don t need to live with that kind of service and this product has given sterling service already for several months. The signal is always good or better the line/signal has dropped once in 8 weeks and I can t fault it.In this day and age where we feel obliged to pay more rather than less in the belief we are getting a better, more reliable product, this bucks the trend.Excellent value, breeze to set up, buy it!
