Actiontec Wireless USB Network Adapter (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this adapter for my older laptop that does not have a built in "N" card. It was easy to install with Vista OS, real plug and play. Once installed, it was able to see almost all networks in my area, and connected easily to my network. I moved my laptop around the house, out to the backyard, no problems. All in all, it is a nice addition to older machines.
Pros: Driver is already stored on the adapter and installs automatically when you plug it in.
Quick and easy installation, plug it in, and in a few munities you're done.
Received signal thru walls, and far from the modem.
Speed is about average both up and down stream.
Cons: Too large and unsuitable for laptops, will block the adjacent USB port unless you use the USB extension cable.
Will not work with Mac.
As other reviewers noted, the package is hard to open, environmentally unfriendly, and too large. I wish they packed it in a small box.

Asus EeeBox EBXB202-BLK-X0081 Desktop PC (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home) Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this Asus Eee PC as an experiment, replacing my bulky Media Center PC (aka Home Theater PC or HTPC), and I have been extremely satisfied so far.The unit is small (1/10th the footprint of my HTPC), quiet, very responsive, and makes an attractive (if only diminutive) addition to my entertainment center.

I use the unit for web browsing with a wireless keyboard and mouse/remote (with accelerometer), watching online video, Amazon UnBox videos, music playback (multiple formats), video playback (multiple formats), and playing DVDs. So far I have no complaints, from me (the household geek) or my family (internet junkies one-and-all).

Pros: Affordable, small, quick boot, attractive design, high quality graphics, low power consumption, very quiet (nearly silent), and it can be mounted to the back of a display (using the VESA mount).

Cons: None noted

Summary: This very well design unit is not suited for all applications, but when you need a small PC, with diminished demands, this is an excellent solution at a very affordable price.I added a USB DVD/CD RW to my tools, using only when needed, and it works flawlessly.

Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n USB Adapter (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I received the Belkin Wireless N+ Router, I set it up it right in front of a window in my house. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CEYYFK/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title)Setup was super easy and I turned on 802.11b/g/n to all transmit/receive at the same time.I also purchased a Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n USB Adapter (Black) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CF2TYC/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title) and installed it in my brand new Dell laptop.The combination worked flawlessly, setup was super easy, and the security was a snap to set up.

I received at least four lights all over our one story house including 80' away through a number of walls.My new laptop's built-in N-card/antenna did not work nearly as well as the Belkin N+ adapter.

I took the laptop and the Belkin N+ Adapter for a walk while keeping the window and router in my line of sight.At approximately 325' from the router, I still had full signal strength!I finally lost the signal about 380' feet from the router.

I also tried the Belkin adapter with a 7-year old, 512Mb ram HP laptop and got similar results - full signal at 325'.
