Product DescriptionTime to move up to the 'N' degree. That's 802.11n wireless networking. It's an emerging extension of 802.11a/b/g. It employs MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) spatial multiplexing techniques which greatly increases speed, coverage and the reliability of the wireless network and works with all 802.11n equipped devices. The N Wireless USB Adapter connects your desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network. It delivers greater range and faster speeds, N offers an excellent solution for sending large files such as video, music, photos, and documents among the networked computers in your home. When used as part of an 802.11n WiFi system, downloads and data transfer are far more rapid than previous 802.11 version standards.

bought one from BestBuy for $80.
bought another one from Fry's.
bought another model N1 Mimo which was $99.
so, i have 3 of the Belkin USB wi-fi.
don't mind about the price if it works but it doesn't.
the Belkin cannot connect to Kyocera KR2.
i spent several days troubleshoot both KR2 and 8053.
finally, the conclusion is the Belkin doesn't work.

Rating: - Terrible product and terrible service
Please never buy Belkin product. I had terrible experience. They sent me a fault device and took me almost a week now still not able to get it resolved for me. Their technical support and customer guys are absolutely helpless and hopeless. Please learn from my experience and never but their products. Please tell your friends this as well
Rating: - Connection is very bad
the wireless N USB was kinda cool because its so easy to install. But the actual connection is weak. I later compared my wireless laptop and the desktop which was connected to the wireless USB. the result was interesting, my laptop had 100% connection while the wireless usb remained the same 10% connection or no connection at all.
I highly recommend against buying this.
Rating: - Strong signl, but becomes idle after sometimes
The adapter always shows good or very good signal.

If you ping some website & monitor it activity, you can see that after sometimes it shows "request times out". It starts working automatically after 1 mins or so, sometimes more than that. So, this is really annoyimg.
It is also sensitive to the distance & the position of the router.

Unlike other reviewers experiences, the installation went smoothly and the software has played well with my computer so far. No problems with installation, hibernation, or glitchy software.

The only thing that remains is seeing how long this ... Read More
