Reviewer: RSV,
I own a computer that utilizes Windows Vista (64 bit) and was not having success installing wireless adapters from two reputable companies. At this point I was ready to cut open walls and run the ethernet cable to my computer. I mentioned the problem to my computer geek cousin and he told me to purchase a medialink wireless adapter as it supports Windows Vista 32 and 64. So I googled the wireless adapter and found that Amazon carried it. So I went to Amazon.com and there it was in the medialink adapter's product information, compatible with Vista 32 and 64. At $29.99 ( $10.00 cheaper then the previous two adapters), I thought it was worth the risk. I recieved it two days later and proceeded to install the medialink wireless G USB adapter and again no success. At this point I'm ready to punch a hole in the wall out of frustration. I finally decided to contact Mediabridge to convey my dissatisfaction. The phone was picked up after one ring and a customer service person rerouted me to technical support. Technical support picked up after one ring and I'm thinking to myself, this is amazing, no machine telling me to push buttons. After running several test on my computer with technical support, I still was not wireless. The tech support person, who was professional and knowledgable, recommended trying their wireless-N USB adapter. He said Mediabridge will ship it out right away at no cost. I received the wireless-N adapter the following day (again,amazing). I install it and within five minutes I was wireless. The installation was a snap. I'm on the internet several hours a day and I haven't had any problems at all. I forget sometimes that I'm wireless. At the price Mediabridge is charging for their wireless adapters, this is a steal. Kudos to Mediabridge for backing their products and lowering my blood pressure. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a quality wireless adapter at a great price.
Compatible with WD TV Live

I purchased this adapter with high hopes that it would somehow magically work with my Western Digital WD TV Live, despite my knowing that it was an unrealistic expectation since the dongle comes with it's own drivers. At best, I was expecting to have to run some home-brewed firmware on the WD TV in order to get this to work.
Lo and behold, I plugged it in and it was recognized within seconds. In under a minute, the box was connected to my network and I was streaming YouTube video to my upstairs bedroom. I was absolutely amazed.

This dongle is not yet listed on WD TV Live's supported device list, and I've found no previous posts or reviews confirming this compatibility. Hope this helps those looking at this for the same reason that I was.
Finally! A product that works with Vista 32-bit & Verizon FiOS!

I recently upgraded my internet connection with Verizon FiOS. I am running Vista 32-bit OS and am aware of all the online connectivity issues with this particular operating system. When I was using high speed cable, my wireless connection to my PC was via a Linksys Wireless G USB Network Adapter. This USB Network Adapter worked fine until I got Verizon FiOS.

My router was changed from a Linksys Router to a Verizon UltraLine Series3 9100EM router. I could not figure out for the life of me how to get the Linksys Wireless G USB Network Adapter to get a high speed connection. I had no problems connecting, but the speeds that I was getting was actually dial-up speeds! My connection speeds were ridiculously 7kbps to 28kbps at most! Most websites were not accessible to me because of the long wait. YouTube videos were impossible to watch. Even sites like eBay took a while just to output the whole page if the auctions were picture heavy.

I decided to take a chance with the Medialink Wireless N USB Adapter. The installation was like cake. I removed my old USB adapter, inserted my installation CD, installed the software, plugged in my new USB adapter and at first I saw the same speeds of 7kbps to 28kbps for the first 5 to 10 minutes of using it. Then all of the sudden, I saw a tremendous spike! My speeds are almost identical to my pc that is directly connected to my router downstairs. I now have FiOS speeds that I paid for. Everything for my online experience is now lightning fast again.

Finally, a solution to having Verizon FiOS and using Windows Vista 32-bit OS! For anyone looking to connect a second PC to a FiOS wireless network, this is a great solution. Thank you so much Medialink!
Excellent wireless adapter

Very easy to install. It took me less than 10 minutes to install it on windows XP. It comes with an usb extension cable to put it above the desk. I use WPA encryption without broadcasting SSID and it works flawlessly.

Highly recommended.
Works well!

This Medialink Wireless N Adapter works really well! I'm running Vista 64-Bit with a Netgear Rangemax N150 router (which is downstairs) and I have this adapter plugged into my upstairs bedroom desktop PC and I get great signal strength and internet speed. It comes with an installation CD and a user guide that were very user friendly even though Vista pretty much did everything automatically and the little docking station it comes with sits nicely on the desk next to my monitor and doesn't take up too much room. The price is more than reasonable and it even looks cool. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend this adapter to anyone.
