I bought two of these units at the same time, one works good, the other works for about 25 to 30 minutes and gets very hot then shuts down. Packaging is the enclosed plastic that you have to cut apart to get into then throw away after packaging everything comes in today, and returns are not accepted without original packaging, so I am out of luck. All I can say is you have a 50 50 chance of getting a working unit, if you can deal with that then go for it..

This is probably a good item, but the one I received would not work on any of 4 computers.
In properties for the Driver it always said:
Can Not Start (Code 10).
The manual that comes with it is very inacurate.
It says to install software first using Autorun or click on Setup.Exe. Problem is that the disk does not contain Autorun or Setup.Exe. The device must be installed and the Found Harware must find the files on the CD or get it from Microsoft Update. I did this many time using both methods. It installs but does not work.
works fine

Need to download the driver for Windows XP in order to work properly. Once the driver is installed, it works fine.
Not quite what I wanted - NOT GOOD for Vista

First let me say that if you run WIndows XP this product works fine. Exactly as advertised and a fast sure connection.
However if you run Vista the trouble starts. I purchased these adapters to provide jumbo frame support for 2 HP desktops running Vista. ALthough the drivers on the disk and on the website show that they support Jumbo frames they ONLY support Jumbo Frames under XP, NOT Vista.
Drivers were stable and functional. I did achieve gigabit speeds in both Vista and XP But I have other adapters that support JUMBO frames and get a 2-3 times improvement in throughput using Jumbo Frames. I am NOT satisfied with this product.
Works great

I am loving how fast it works with my satellite connection. My computer gives me the blue screen of death when I start it sometimes and I have to reboot. It does that if my external hard drive is plugged into the usb port when I start it too. Takes longer to start but works great when it gets going. Anyone have an idea why this happens. I still love the thing. Couldn't get by without it.

What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
