Easy to install, but ability to receive signals is questionable
This review is from: BELKIN 150N WIRELESS USB ADAPTER (F6D4050) (Personal Computers)
I give this 5 stars ease of install (Windows Vista), but 1 star for actual performance (i.e. the ability to actually receive a Wi-Fi signal). The packaging was surprisingly easy to open, which is almost a half star these days. The setup was clear and easy with the install CD. I was happy to note that the insertion of the USB was a snap. I was worried that it would crowd out another USB port, but there was just enough room for another normal USB device in the adjacent space. Finally, the true test of this device is it's ability to receive a decent wireless signal. I studied the serial number and apparently this is version 2 of the series. A subsequent Internet search also confirmed that no Windows 7 drivers (as of 1/22/2010) were "available" as of yet. So if I were to move up to Win 7, I could have been stranded--but to be perfectly fair, the actual specifications on the box only mention Vista and XP.
I regret to say that I found that the Belkin N150 was terrible. It could not pick up a signal two rooms away, which is far below expectations. The walls in between are the regular drywall and stucco kind of walls, so I ruled out interference.
My recommendation is steer away from this model, but if you do get it be pretty sure you don't plan on upgrading to Win 7 anytime soon, and of course, to keep your receipt.

Now the windows 7 drivers are available
This review is from: BELKIN 150N WIRELESS USB ADAPTER (F6D4050) (Personal Computers)
UPDATE: Belkin has released the Windows 7 drivers for the unit! Sweet! I changed it to 5 stars and am very happy with this product. Thanks Belkin for providing the new drivers!
I like this network card but I changed my OS to windows 7 several months after buying this card and it definately does NOT work with windows 7. As of January 10, 2010 Belkin has not provided drivers for windows 7. Seems that Belkin should have provided the drivers for win7 by now... It may never work with win 7.... If you don't plan on "upgrading" to win7 then it's a great card but until they release a driver for win7, it will be useless for me.
Range
This review is from: BELKIN 150N WIRELESS USB ADAPTER (F6D4050) (Personal Computers)
I really do not understand the people that had range problems with this little jewel. I have a 4 bedroom house and have used this from one end (where the sender is) to the other with very reliable service. Maybe the problem is with the sending unit with the "nay sayers".

Do not buy any Belken product. They do not stand behind their product-they charge more for technical support than what it costs to replace some products new. by como651
Excellent, especially for use with WD media players
This product is really good and works especially well with Western Digital media players. The price at $15. by Tim

Save your money. This is not a quality USB wireless adapter. This model stopped working after less than three months of ownership. by silhouette_of_enchantment

150 n router and adapter were not as great as the boxes touted. kept dropping signal 20 feet away through one wall. by Michael E. Garrity
Works on XP But No Win 7 Drivers
I have used this with my XP machines and it works well. It is much better than the Cisco Linksys products which all have poor software and short range. by Dr. Terrence McGarty
Good adapter, with no frills
I had a huge dissatisfaction dealing with USB adapters in Vista x64. Tried two Linksys which exhibited the same errors, and after this Belkin worked for more than a day I thought... by :: ultranol ::
Bogus N, Buy a different adapter!
I bought this adapter to upgrade from my G adapter in my Dell D630. This Belkin adapter is slower, and less sensitive than my old one. by Christopher Klug |
