Heat Issues.......2007-12-17
As always, a crucial point to look for as a gamer is whether or not a wireless adapter will have heat issues down the line. I had this product for nearly fourteen months, and out of the blue it started getting heat issues, giving me 1.0mbps for hours on end if I was on Warcraft or even surfing the internet. After reinstalling the driver, I had about 36.0mbps to even 11mbps with a perfect signal, clearly indicating that it had heated up, or started working improperly. All my anti-virus scans and my spyware scans came up empty (as they should, since I do them regularly), and I have concluded that this heats up.
Simply stated, it heats up quite quickly as other reviewers have said, it is too fat, and that 1.0mbps stuff annoyed me.
Buy Linksys or D-Link instead.
No problems at all.......2007-10-29
I have this and use it with the matching router. I think if you do not have the matching router it may not be the right item. Many negative reviews, but few if any negatives with people using the matching net gear router. This is in my daughters walk in closet as far away from the router as can be and behind as many walls as in my house and still gets a signal strong enough to work. Just beware if you are using any other router than the net Gear wireless 824 V2. 4 star because it does disconnect about once a week.
Not bad.......2007-09-27
It was a little tricky to get it to work. Because, the first time I (unknowingly) was picking up a wrong signal. When I called Netgear, they were helpful (although I had difficulty understanding them, they are in India.) A couple of months ago after a bad rainstorm I completely lost my connection. I called Netgear, but they told me the problem was with my router. So I called Linksys and they told me that I needed to set up a new network. Apparently they claimed that it was "erased" and my connection from the router to my adapter was lost permanently. But they (Linksys) walked me through the steps; they were helpful but also in India so it was again challenging to understand them. Since I got my new network set up I have had no problem getting online and keeping a connection. Other reviews state that their adapter cannot keep a connection for very long. Of course, I'm not a computer expert, but that sounds like either a manufacturer's defect or maybe the adapter or router isn't configured correctlt?
Nightmare! Major issues with connection and overheating.......2007-09-22
Oh, how I wish I would have read all the reviews before buying this thing. I had a terrible time getting it to connect with my router, but eventually got it to work. I noticed the device ran quite hot (within in minutes of being plugged in), but foolishly ignored it. I left it on for 24 hours and came back to find my hard drive *and* motherboard blown. I can't pin it on Netgear's device, but it sure seems odd to me. After getting a new hard drive and a new motherboard, I am looking elsewhere to find a wireless Internet adapter. Save your $12.00! My little purchase cost me over $200.00, huge data loss, and a ton of time to reinstall it all.
Turns off frequently! Irritating!.......2007-09-08
I ordered this when I got a new Dell desktop and needed to connect with the wireless network in my home. It was easy to set up but that is the end of the good news.
This adapter just randomly looses its connection to the network. In the space of one hour, it will loose its connection at least twice, if not three times. Reconnecting is no problem - I just click on Repair and it goes through the motions and connects back right away. I reinstalled it a few times but the same thing happens.
This is a very irritating feature, especially when I am using Skype! I have had enough and I am ordering a new adapter from a different manufacturer!

D-Link make it pretty easy to get a wireless network up-and-running.......2007-12-14
The G-122 works like a dream with Vista once you can find the driver at the D-Link site. Vista sorts out all the configuration for you.
Also works well with Windows 2000 but you have to configure it using a utility, which is not that intuitive to use - required a visit to D-link support site to figure out how to set up a secured network.
Didn't work on my Windows ME PC when the wireless network was secured but did work when it was unsecured.
Had to change my router to channel 11 to avoid interference from my 2.4GHz Panasonic cordless phone.
Altogether a pretty good product for D-Link.
worked great (for one week).......2007-07-29
Inexpensive ($30) and easy to install on my Dell Vista desktop. Worked fine for one week, then kept having problems detecting the signal from my wireless access point. Coughed up $69 and bought a Linksys wireless-G USB adapter which works almost problem free (at 54 Mbps speed). Guess you get what you pay for....
I think you can do better........2007-07-27
I bought this antenna and the NETGEAR WG111 antenna to compare the two products. The D-LINK DWL-G122 regularly connects at only 36Mbps while the NETGEAR WG111 plugged into the same computer sitting in the same spot connects at the advertised 54Mbps. Perhaps this is just a fluke with my computer or the way the factory default step downs are set up but this is what I have observed.
OK but gave out.......2007-07-22
Signal was okay + spotty at times, had to adjust the adpapter by pulling it out and plugging back in to USB port to reconnect the wireless signal. W/in 6 months, adpater has died. Purchased replacement adapter: Trendnet TEW423PI 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter - and has worked great so far, stronger signal/connection although it has to be connected inside your PC.

Wireless USB Adapter.......2007-11-02
GMP WF748-UI 54 Mbps Wireless USB Adapter
Excellent. I have used this product for at least three years and have been very satisfied with its performance and range. Because of this I have provided it for several of my clients and customers.
A really nice wifi adapter!.......2007-10-09
First off, you DO NOT have to use the wireless utility that comes with it as others claim. Just extract the driver from the CD and point Windows to it when it starts the hardware installation. I keep the driver on my flash drive and have used that to install this adapter on tons of PCs in my office.
Pros: Smallest on the market, handles all encryption types, USB 2.0, good range.
Cons: No cover for the USB plug (no big deal).
I have 2 of these devices and they work great. I can get about 40-50' of range which isn't bad for it's size (what do you expect?)
The thing just works, and is one of the only adapters that can handle WPA 2. For the price, it is unbeatable.
GREAT.......2007-05-12
For the price, u cant beat this deal. the adapter works perfectly and havent had any problems whatsoever. Only thing is u HAVE TO USE THE WIRELESS UTILITY that comes with it. other than that, the thing simply WORKS.
Not the smoothest install and NO rebate!.......2007-02-24
I bought this wireless dongle from a local computer shop in St. Davids, PA in Dec. 2006. The only reason I chose it was because the salesman was hawking its thirty d o l l a r rebate, which would bring the cost down to five bucks. Turns out this thing wasn't even worth the thirty-five I spent on it.
First of all, it's not as easy to be recognized on either my WinMCE (Windows Media Center) PC or my WinXP laptop. It required software to be installed to get it to cooporate. It was recognized, but refused to work, apparently because it doesn't get along with the Zero Configuration of wireless networks on its own. I had to install the software on both systems, use that software, and finally later on was able to switch to the Zero Config within Windows (I prefer that method).
I have another wireless dongle I bought from C o m p U S A (store brand) previously and it worked perfectly so I am comparing this dongle to the other one. The earlier dongle installed smoothly and I could use it right away with no config issues. It was also cheaper. If I have to get another one, I will definitely go back to that store and get another of the same.
My other dissatisfaction comes from the e-mail it took weeks to get back from Gigafast saying they regret that OnRebate has not been fulfilling their rebate requests and that Gigafast has done all they can. In other words, "Oh, well, you're SOL!" Not satisfactory at all. I woouldn't buy another of these even if it was on sale. But I will say that now that it is installed properly it does work fine.
