Connect wired computers to a wireless network with this Belkin dual-band USB adapter. This small dongle plugs into the computer's USB port and connects the device to the internet via a router's wireless access point. This Belkin dual-band USB adapter lets you choose the quietest channel for your wireless network.

It works, but is sometimes unreliable with Windows

I use it in...:Large home
Verified Purchase:Yes
While easy to setup, Windows 8 seems to have a problem with USB Wireless Adapters. This is not new with this product, but sometimes forgets that this network adapter is installed. It's hard to blame Belkin, but after all the reliable network product manufactures no longer make these USB network adapters...maybe they saw the problems Windows creates.

I only rely on Linksys routers. My last router that was nearly five years old was finally suffering from 24/7 usage, so I once again put my trust in Linksys for the latest and greatest. And Linksys delivered. Fast, easy, uncomplicated configuration.

Can you say "AirPlay"

Once I discovered that my iPhone 5 and Apple TV were made for each other, I was hooked. Even though I cannot get my HBO shows through Apple TV, I can easily use the HBO GO app on my iPhone 5 to stream my HBO content, in HD, to my Apple TV. Wow, it's truly a match made in heaven--especially when I'm on the road and don't have my Comcast OnDemand available. Additionally, I have purchased some video content from iTunes that I can always watch through Apple TV. Apple has made a simple solution to an age-old problem.

Great addition to home theater

I bought this kit to power my rear surround speakers where I cannot use a wired connection. I was impressed by the simplicity of use and that I could my current rear speakers making it an excellent choice. Only issue is that when they are on, the signal interferes with the wireless network reception on my BluRay player. So when I can use it works beautifully!
What's great about it: Simple to setup, supports my desired speaker choice
What's not so great: RF signal interferes with some WiFi

Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speakers are a luxurious addition to any computer system used for listening to music, watching TV or movies. As expected, this speaker system delivers rich, exceptionally clear, Bose-quality sound. I use my speakers with a Dell laptop through a USB port and use Windows Media Player (WMP) as my primary music player. I save all of my personal CDs in high-quality WMP files and the results from the Bose speakers are crisp, clear, deep, rich sound.
The volume/mute control pod is a great feature for adjusting the level for different music types, and the quick Mute allows for fast response when answering the phone. I keep the control pod right next to my phone which reduces fumbling when I receive a call.
The USB input allows for clear, digital sound signals to be processed by your Bose speakers. This is particularly useful when your computer is not well shielded internally causing whirrring or whinig noises in your sound output. The passing of the digital signal eliminates these noises.
Alternatively, you can plug your iPod or other MP3 player directly into the system through your control pod, using a stereo mini-plug.
If you want the best sound from your computer system, this is the best computer-based system to purchase.
Sometimes when booting up my computer the USB signal gets "stuck" which generates an annoying mid-level tone from the speakers. Once the Windows system is fulled booted, the problem automatically goes away.
When Windows Vista was released, the Windows Control Panel functions for the speakers changed and Bose was very responsive to assisting me choose the correct settings for my speakers.
