What's great about it: Easy to setup
What's not so great: Very poor range - USB2.0 wont get your your full stated bandwidth
Bought the unit to place a computer in an office location that was unable to connect hardwired. The computer is used for photoshop/lightroom and other media content editing/creation. This is the best product they had, so got it since the files we work with are large and have to go back and forth to a server. The device has horrible range first off. Computer is maybe 15-20ft away from the router (E4200 Cisco with Tomato), and only gets 2 bars on average. Thought maybe driver issues so redownloaded and installed, same issue. Multiple laptops and devices in the same spot to test all get perfect signal, just this one has issues. Poor throughput due to this. Design of the unit feels very cheap as well, very likey to break if something happened to hit the antenna, and it does not include a USB extension cord to locate it somewhere else if need be like other WIFI USB adapters do.

What's not so great: No Linux compatibility
Product will most likely be fine for Windows but it did not work with Linux and on their website the device drivers they provided were not compatible with Ubuntu or Fedora distros as advertised.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Range, fitting it into a tight USB slot
I forst bought the N-150 unit because it was the lowest cost of the 5 nodels from Belkin. When I got home and plugged it into my home Tower PC, there were only 2-3 bars of signal strength. My Laptop in the same location showed 5 bars.
I returned the N-150 to BB and exchanged it for the top-of-the-line N-750, thinking that you get what you pay for. When I plugged this in at home, the signal strength meter was no diffrent. I don't see any reason to pay more for the N-750.
BTW, I called the AT&T installer and paid another $100 to have him relocate the DSL jack so I could plug my router directly into the DSL jack and then connect the PC direct to the router with a cable.

What's great about it: NOTHING
What's not so great: It does not function at all!
Everything installed fine, but I was never able to enable the adapter, the light never came on, and I tried it on two different computers. After an hour on the phone listening to a man I could not understand in India, I was told it must be defective and to exchange it. I just got the replacement and I have the SAME PROBLEM. I am not even bothering to call India again! At first I thought it was a problem with my computer...but I tried it on three different computers this time...same problem! Do yourself a favor and go with another brand...this thing is junk. I will try a different brand when I return this one.
This product has... Unreliable connection, does not work at all
