usb adapters

We purchased the SS1022 USB Adapter for the PC in our guest bedroom after failing to get a Linksys internal wireless card that would keep a signal. Despite the computer being just 1 wall (and less than 15 feet) away from our network's Wireless Access Point (WAP), the internal wireless card failed to perform. We were attracted to the SS1022 adapter because it's external and could thus be repositioned easily for better reception, unlike the internal card's tiny external antenna extending from the CPU (on the floor, beneath a wood desk).

Installation of the SS1022 went without problems, and we now have a fully Internet-ready guest room PC for visitors to check their email or play multiplayer games with us, all wirelessly!

No more wires!

I needed a wireless adapter for two different computers - one new XP laptop and one PII desktop on 98SE. I tried a NetGear MA101 and spent most of a day with two professionals trying to get it to work - no luck. Then I bought the Siemens SS1022 Wireless USB Adapter and had both computers online wirelessly in less than 40 minutes with 128 bit WEP enabled. The adapter is about 30 feet and two walls away from a NetGear MR814 Access Point. The adapter comes with a nice LAN utility which shows up as an icon in the system tray when the adapter is plugged in and disappears when you unplug it. Great item and easy to set up and monitor.

I bought my SpeedStream Wireless USB Adapter almost an year ago. I had issues about the reception, because I already tried the NETGEAR one. I had no reception with the Netgear products and when I plug the Siemens one, I was surprised. I got 60 to 66% signal against 0% by Netgear.
Bottom line is that I advice you to choose this product if you want to be most satisfied from using your internet, or network at all!
