What our customer's say!

"Linux users beware, probably Mac users too.", I originally had the WUSB54Gv4 Linksys adapter on an XP desktop, which worked okay. Though there was a wall in the way, I wasn't very impressed that it only got a 30% signal from a router 8-9ft away. Then I got sick of windows and installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. It took me two weeks to get this thing working, and then when I almost had the driver installed, the computer crashed. Never had any problems with Ubuntu on my laptop, but this was a headache. You can probably find a better product for the same price, just keep looking.

Footnote: While trying to find drivers, I stumbled into several other owners with similar problems, and one posted a letter from Linksys in response to an inquiry about Linux support, and Linksys replied that this product was intended for Windows, no Linux or Mac.

"Great little wireless adaptor", I had purchsed a Linksys router and set up a wireless network in my house. However I had a PC on the far end of the house. I dreaded the idea of opening up the box to install a card. Its not something I like to do. A friend reocmmended the Linksys WUSB54G Wireless Adapter. It works great! No opening the box. No fussing with screws. Just follow the instructions on the CD and plug the device into a USB port. This will make it very convenient if I need to use it on another computer that doesn't have a wireless card.

"campatable with windows vista", I have a new computer with windows vista when i pluged the linkyes wireless adapter into the computer it cant detect what it is i down loaded the cd it came with and when its done down loading it wont open to set it up so im guessing it just wont work with windows vista im so frustrated i hate to have order another one or somthing differant ugh!

"Second quality", This product was shipped with a copy of the installation CD. It would not install properly. It was returned and I had to pay to return it.

"Works great.", I bought this wireless adapter to connect a pc in my office. Works great and keeps connected all day. Originally i bought the compact linksys adapter but was disappointed with the signal strength. I think this model is better because it has an external antenna as apposed to the internal antenna on the compact model. I am very pleased with this purchase. I give it 5 stars.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"signal dies during data transfer", The signal for this and the base unit were strong, until I did a transfer test, then everything went to pot. I switched to netgear and am very impressed with netgear's performance.

"OK only if you have a strong signal", This device works well if you have a strong signal and little interference. I had to go to using a Netgear WPN111 to get a good connection all the time.

"don't waste your money on this junk", terrible product. frequently drops connection to the router several times a day. not stable at all. really annoying when i'm surfing the net or downloading files and it looses connection to the router.

linksys should be embarrassed to sell such a piece of junk. i thought for the longest time that i was loosing connection / droppping connection because of my linksys wcg200 gateway router only to find out that it is not a wcg200 problem at all but rather a flaky and unstable WUSB54G adapter. and there is absolutely no excuse for the dropping connections since i have no interfering wireless phones, or other wireless devices using the same band, and plus add to the adapter is only about 20 feet away. don't buy this product or you'll be sorry.

I wouldn't even think about selling this junk on ebay to anyone, instead I'm putting it where it belongs... in the trash! I'm switching to the Hawking HWU8DD wireless adapter.

*** UPDATE 10/24/2008 - The wireless disconnect problems are still occuring using the Hawking HWU8DD wireless adapter. I believe now that the majority of the problems were caused by my WCG200 gateway and not the wireless NIC. Although I still suspect that this linksys NIC may have caused some more disconnect problems unrelated to the WCG200.

"Compact Unit that is Perfect for my needs", I am not computer savvy and I found the Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB adapter very easy to set up. And it connected immediately to my Linksys Wireless router. If I can get it to work, anyone should be able too. It is not as fast as being direct connected via wire, but it worked just great for me.

I have been very satisfied with it. I only notice the slower rate of transfer when I have a large download. But I usually use this computer just as a remote terminal and not my main computer. I find that it is fine for browsing, sending e-mails and updating websites. Note; this review does not address a situation where you may want to use it to play a graphic intensive online game. I have computers set up for gaming in another room connected to the main router.


"I love this router!", I am so happy with this router! It was very easy to set-up and I don't know much about routers!
