    Strengths: Works perfect and is extremely fast. It is easy to install. Never drop connection.

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: I highly recommend the WUSB600N Wireless USB Network Adapter (802.11a/b/g, draft 802.11n. I have been using it for a few months and I have no problem to report. The price is good for a USB wireless N in this class

    Strengths: Very good reception, even with a wireless G router.

    Weaknesses:None that I can find.

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased one in early July and used it with my wireless G router. I was getting the full 54Mbps without any signal loss. I decided to get another one for another machine further away from the router that was getting only 11Mbps and sometimes dropping the connection. When I replaced the wireless network card with the WUSB600N, I was getting up to 36Mbps and was not getting dropped. I decided to replace my router to the Gigabit router and now I have a bigger smile on my face. I get 130Mbps on one machine and get upto 76Mbps on my other machine that was only getting 36Mbps. It works great with wireless G routers but really shows its strength when used in a wireless-N environment.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very easy/quick to install, with great performance to boot.

    Weaknesses:A little bulky (or wide)

    Overall Evaluation: Since it's an external USB, it was very easy to install and to setup (virutally plug and play after installing the bundled driver/software). The performance (signal strength, speed, etc.) is also very good.However, it's little bulky (or wide) so if you don't use the USB cord extension, it'll cover most of the USB port space around it. But this is really a minor issue (most likely to affect laptop users who uses several mobile USB devices on very limited ports).

    Strengths: Very fast, easy to install,

    Weaknesses:If you are using this for a laptop, can be bulky

    Overall Evaluation: I'm using this for one of my home computers, and I am getting the same DL speeds as my computer connected through a CAT5 cable. Way faster than my built-in laptop wireless card.

    Strengths: My older notebook, 802.11a/b never worked properly with my new draft 802.11n router. This product was the perfect solution. I'm getting faster connection speeds than hooked up via cat5 cable.

    Weaknesses:A little slow synching with my local network when notebook computer first turns on.

    Overall Evaluation: The unit comes with an extension cable for a mounting bracket so you can move the device to a more favorable reception location. I wish the device itself would allow you to rotate the unit in the 45 - 90 degree angle for it does stick out pretty far and is in danger of snagging.
