Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Adapter (AE3000) (Personal Computers)

I read about the old model some bad things (heating, disconnecting, bad signal etc) so I was affraid to go for Linksys to upgrade my home wireless network to N band, 5Ghz.The fact is I needed this adapter for my wife`s windows xp sp3 notebook. She spends most of the day on internet, wireless.The distance between the notebook and linksys router is no more far than 4m, same room (no stairs or floors).Here are the results:1. Signal Strenght: between 385mbps - 450mbps2. Signal Stability: 100%3. Connection: 100%, never lost it.4. Temperature: warm to hot, but keeps working with no failures5. Installation: I did almost nothing, just inserted CD and after 2 clicks, done.This is the new linksys router I bought together with this adapter: Linksys EA4500 App-Enabled N900 Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with Gigabit and USB.Family 100% happy ! :-)

   Bought this dual band AE2500 adapter to replace my old single band adapter. Installation was quick and painless. Insert CD, wait until it tells you to plug inthe adapter, chose your network and off you go. It probably didn't take me 30 seconds from the time I inserted the CD Rom drivers disk until I was connected.I have a Vizio Dual Band Router which is one of the Best Bang for the Buck Dual Band Routers out there Btw. The AE2500 Found the routher without any issues.The only choice I had to make was at which frequency I wanted to connect. I have tried both 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz and the 5ghz band was over 3 times as fast vsthe 2.4ghz at least in my household. The computer I connected it to is upstairs and the adapter still connected through several walls and ceiling.Overall I am very happy with my purchase. We shall see if it will hold up over the months to come.
