Happy with performance for the costJun 01, 2005
By ostawookiee "ostawookiee"
I run a secured wireless network in my home (Linksys Super-G). I bought this adapter for use with an older laptop, which had USB 1.0 ports. On the same network my new laptop's onboard wireless gets 5 bars, this adapter with the old laptop picks up 4. I haven't had any connection dropping problems though. This past weekend I started a 27.3GB set of file transfers when I left for the day, it finally finished 12 hours later. That seems relatively slow, but I never notice much speed lag when I'm surfing the net. I've been impressed with how it's worked considering the laptop is almost a relic; and it nice to be able to get a guest's machine online by letting them borrow the adapter in the house.

inexpensive but with WPA issuesJul 20, 2005
By Dave92270
I bought TEW-424UB (b1 version) few weeks ago; I'm using it under Win2k, with WRT54G router and security features enabled (SSID broadcast off, WPA-PSK on).

The device seems to have reasonable speed when connected, however every once a while the connection gets mysteriously lost or reset, and the adapter connects to (unsecured) neighbor's router instead of mine (despite having much better signal from my router). To reconnect back to my router requires reinstallation of the driver and control utility/application, because the "WPA-PSK" encryption is permanently lost from the selection menu, so there is no way to connect to WPA network again. The device can see my router, however won't let me input WPA key, as if it wouldn't support WPA at all.... The reinstallation of the driver and utility restores the WPA-PSK option; until the next lost connection...this gets old very fast.

I wouldn't recommend this adapter if you want to run WPA secured network; it probably works dependably otherwise.

unreliable and low throughputAug 10, 2005
By J. Yee
I used this for several months before finally giving up and replaced it with a DLINK G122. I installed the TEW-424UB on a brand new XP PC with the AP located 15 ft away. I rarely saw good signal strength and the data rate rarely peaked. All this was acceptable since my broadband connection only supported ~1Mbps anyway. What really annoyed me was the fact that the connection would die 2 or 3 times a day, requiring reseting the driver or sometimes physically resetting the dongle. After I replaced it with the DLINK G122, I saw excellent signal strenght and 54Mbps data rate from the same exact location.

Given the low price and the fact that the TEW-424UB is not even WiFi certified, what I experienced probably should not have been a surprise. My recommendation is to stay far and away from this product.

A good wireless adapterFeb 27, 2005
By nhutch "Askari"
I bought this to give an aging laptop access to my wireless lan at home and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. It came with a USB extension cord which was handy as the laptop I had only came with 1 USB port and was right next to the PS2 port so it would have been impossible to attach both without the extra cord. Setup was fairly easy and I had to download the latest utility from the website but that was no problem. I have not tried any other wireless USB devices to compare to this one but I imagine they are mostly identical in how they work.

Trendnet USB adapter performance Win Xp problem solvedSep 13, 2007
By Bob
I to was at first very dissatisfied with this product and if you follow the instructions by the MFG you will be too. After speaking with a Trednet tech he explained to me that if the driver and utility were on the CD in separate folders that you DID NOT need to install the Trendnet utility for the USB adapter to function in Win Xp.So I uninstalled everything and upon a restart I EXPLORED the install CD, do not let autorun do any install and verified the driver and utility were in separate folders I then plugged in the adapter and let windows install the driver with me selecting the driver to install rather than letting windows do the whole thing and now it works just as well as my Dlink PCMCIA airplus card.So it apears that my issue and hopefully most of yours are due to bad software specifically the Trendnet utility not hardware. Hope this helps many.
