So far, Nice little adapter November 24, 2009 C. Kiehl (Phoenix, AZ USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had been wrestling around with several of these in the last few days; Linksys (Will never buy their stuff again), TrendNet, and finally this little Buffalo Nfinity. I've never owned a Buffalo product, but their CPU coolers get glowing reviews, and here's a glowing little review for this wireless USB adapter.
About the 64-Bit OS issues: Everyone's saying it won't work with 64-bit systems. This is kind of a half-truth, and I'll explain. No, the included disk will autorun and say OS not supported. I could not find a driver online, either. However, before I gave up hope to return one more of these damn things, I decided to just plug it into my Win7 Pro 64-bit OS and VOILA! Win 7 autoinstalled it, and now I have a quick little Wireless N adapter for only $40 from my local Fry's E. I can't speak for Vista 64-bit, as I never touched that OS more than once with failure. However, Win 7 is the way to go for a lot of your newer peripherals that Win XP simply didn't have drivers for. Not everything will auto install with Win 7, and I was pleasantly surprised when this Buffalo adapter just worked.
Build quality seems quite nice, being very tiny but sturdy. It has a nice little blue LED on the front right corner to indicate some movement of data, and only a simple clear cap for protection when not docked. You won't believe the speed you get outta something so small. Also, heat buildup doesn't seem too bad at all; after running it a while, it was only warm in our room which is about 72 degrees. On speed-test.net, from a Wireless-G router with 13 mbps connection, I was getting 35-50 ms ping time and 8-10.5 mbps download, with upload hovering around 2-3 mbps. This is a G router to the Buffalo Wireless-N adapter, Not bad!
I'm recommending it, so get one if you like compact cool stuff that works.
Great for Windows 7 32-bit, up and running in SECONDS December 11, 2009 J. Powlus (Reading, PA USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
As the title states, I had this thing up and running in seconds.
Installation went like this:
The test system is an Acer AspireRevo AR1600-U910H Black/White Desktop PC (Windows XP Home) Nettop computer (which I have attached permanently to a 52" LCD TV in a conference room).
The system is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit (it came with XP, I upgraded to Win 7).
I installed no drivers, didn't even open the packaged CD.
I plugged the device into the computer, Windows 7 recognized it and loaded drivers.
No reboot was required.
I immediately saw our wireless network (Cisco ABG APs), connected, and the rest is history.
I've had no connection problems and no driver issues.
It doesn't get much better than that.
There are plenty of other reviews here talking about issues with different OSes (or 64-bit Win 7), so read those if they apply to you... but if you are running Win 7 32 and you want to add wireless networking capabilities as easily as possible, this device will work for you.
Easy to setup. Good reception. Compact. July 31, 2009 BeepBeep (Issaquah, WA USA) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Wanted to get something that doesnt project out from our laptop after our wireless card died out. This ultra compact USB wireless adapter is awesome. So far my 3 year old has not knocked it out of the laptop and the reception is good as expected. Running it on 802.11g.
Buffalo WLI-UC-GN on WDTV LIVE April 3, 2010 Adler V. F. Teixeira (Brazil) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've bought this adapter to use on my Western Digital WDTV Live and I have just one word to describe it: Perfect. My WDTV Live is about 20 yards from my Dlink DIR 655 router and it is working without any problems. I can stream 720p MKV files without any drops.
Works much better than Wireless-g October 9, 2009 Video Guy 40333 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Just got this new adapter an hour ago. Installed it and walked throughout my house. MUCH better reception than my existing wireless-G adapter. I do have a wireless N router, but had not been using it with any wireless-N adapters.
No matter where I am in my house the reception and speed are MUCH better, even with streaming video. The only downside is that the adapter is so small that you could lose it if you remove it from the computer.
Highly recommended - performance is great.
