Product Description
The Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your desktop or notebook computer. Just plug it into your computer's USB port and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access. The Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios for each band, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. And with Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G, -A, and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much radio band Dual-band wireless networks operate in both the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz radio bands at the same time, effectively doubling the available wireless bandwidth. For instance, you could set up your network to handle video streaming on one radio band, and use the other band for simultaneous data transfers - avoiding any interference or collisions that would degrade the video performance. The Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter allows you to connect using whichever band works the best for your situation. Operates in the 2.4 and 5GHz radio bands - choose the one with least congestion in your area Also connects to Wireless-G, -B, and -A networks

wusb600n September 4, 2010
william yost (usa)
background information: i am using cable modem, running windows xp pro sp3, my router is a linksys e3000n.
i was looking at this adapter and the pci wireless card. i was favoring the pci card, with double antenna because i thought it would give me greater range but the adapter gave me mobility.
i checked many of the reviews on amazon, before my purchase. the reviews were mixed.
i decided to go with the adapter. i am more than pleased with the resaults. my remote computer via the e3000n router and wusb600n gives me wirelessly the same bandwith as wired and increased range. it is doing this after going through 1 wall and about 25 feet.
i have had this adapter for about 1 month.
i am more than pleased with this adapter. i can now stream movies via hulu and other web sites and view them on my 50 inch hdtv with perfect video and audio.
 Worked when DLINK DWA160 didn't! August 25, 2010

5 stars to Cisco-Lynksys WUSB600N!!!!!
Been having a huge problem with Dlink DWA 160 HW Ver B1 FW ver 2.00 adapter dropping wireless connection all the time (every 5 or 10 minutes), large downloads fail, web pages stop loading, etc. Using DLINK 655 wireless router. "Received Deauthentication Token", "wireless system with MAC address ... associated, wireless system with MAC address ... linked" entries endlessly in wireless router log. As an IT professional, decided to figure out and fix the problem. On the phone with tech support for hours and hours, no changes. Days on the web researching, lots of people with the same problem, but no fix. Tired of BS from vendors saying its "interference" or some other externel problem. Starting to look like a problem with the 802.11n specification.
Had to buy a new wireless adapter for daughter's computer, decided to try the Cisco-Lynksys WUSB600N, and following suggestions from others, inserted the adapter first, then manually selected the driver location onthe CD. Up and running in less than 2 minutes. PROBLEM WITH DROPPING SIGNAL COMPLETELY CURED. Not a single error in wireless router log for 2 days now, not a single dropped connection, downloaded 3GB file with absolutely no problem at all.

Purchased this to speed up my wireless network reception. I get free wireless from my condo community. Reception has been spotty at best. I installed the Ultra range plus, rebooted my computer and it works great. thought it was a bit costly but since I get free internet service, what can I say. Purchased it at Sam's Club for $59.
 Works fine as a USB network card July 22, 2010

The device works fine, got here quickly and installed easy ... But I just wasn't able to get any more range from it than from my normal laptop wireless or my iPhone :(
