802.11N Wireless USB Adapter
This review is from: 802.11N Wireless USB Adapter SMCWUSB-N2 (Personal Computers)
I'am using the SMC adapter for my wireless connection on my "Ubuntu 10.4 Linux OS system", it works great, no problems what so ever...It gives me a great signal, to my router one can not ask for anything better...I tried NetGear's wireless adapter, and finally after hours trying to get it to work, when they said it would not work on Linux huh!...But I returned it, then I purchased the SMC 802.11N, all that I can say is it just works, a very good wireless adapter... I would buy SMC products if needed in my next purchase...

Worked great initially
This review is from: 802.11N Wireless USB Adapter SMCWUSB-N2 (Personal Computers)
Worked great initially. After less than a year, however, the adapter started getting flaky. The desktop I was using it with started frequently losing its connection to the internet (but not its connection to the wireless router). "Repairing" the network connection on the desktop would always resolve the problem... until it happened again. Got to the point recently where it was sometimes dropping the internet connection multiple times per hour. So, in the garbage the wireless adapter went.

I've bought 3 SMC wireless adapters (each a different model) in the last couple of years and they've all failed similarly. On the other hand, I've had an SMC wireless router for the last several years and it's still performing flawlessly. Go figure.

Recently bought a couple of Medialink wireless adapters. So far, they've been perfect.

Works with the WD TV Live Plus
  
This review is from: 802.11N Wireless USB Adapter SMCWUSB-N2 (Personal Computers)
This normally wouldn't be my first choice for a wireless USB adapter, but it works great with the WD TV Live Plus, which is the primary reason I bought this.

Getting it to work is really easy. You simply plug the adapter in, go in to the network management and search for the access point. It may not connect the first time, just try again. The light does a rapid blinking when it connects (the LED is green).

It did drop my connection once, but it is relatively far away from the access point and between a wall.

Overall, I would rate the signal strength as very good (about 50 feet away between a wall).



The only con I can find is it is white, but I knew that before I purchased.

This adaptor really brings in the surrounding ISP's - it works as good as some I've had in the $100 range.

works well on linux
shortly speaking, this adapter with Atheros 9170 chipset is very well supported by linux. Indeed, this item is exactly as on this page: The only difference is it's 3 times...
