I bought one because of the low price, but have been very pleased with the results...it has good range and connectivity.

Very good bang for your buck.

Normal price is $14.99, but they are offering $5 off until 08/29.

Here is the link Meritline.com



Never heard of it but at this price it might be worth a try if you need one.

ETA in for 2


Nice price, need an adapter, but... when it comes to wireless equipment, I can't buy something with only one review. Good luck to those that can.


Don't forget FW Cash back.

Technically, you have 2 reviews now.


Does it work for desktop with Win2000XP system? Thanks!


Still working today even though it says expired 8/29.


back to $14.99 BUT: I got mine in the mail and it works very well. My router is upstairs and I plugged this into a desktop inside a computer desk in the basement. No drops, strong signal. Glad I bought a spare, thanks again OP!

It is back to $9.99. Thanks for your review, I ordered one!

Does anyone knows where I can download the drivers from? My CD seems to have some problems and shows up as blank. Try google, but nothing really comes up. Thanks.

Thanks.Download this file, decompress it (pwd: ushawk), mount it with a virtual cd/dvd-rom emulator (such as DAEMON Tools Lite) or burn the ISO to CD.


Why does Meritline charge tax in MA, if their operations are out of CA?


i've been using a pci express version of this inside my desktop for over 2 years and it works really really well. i have no complaints. this price is absolutely ridiculous. good find OP.


Did anyone else find their order cancelled without explaination?


Thanks OP. I got mine in the mail today. Great price to be able to add wireless to my old IBM x20 running 98SE.


Now up to $11.99 FS.


I bought one of these for $10 a couple months ago. I finally started using it recently, and it's working great. Very good deal, IMO. This worked in my Win XP system without me needing to use the included driver disc, so it was completely painless to "install."

ETA: I'm getting a pretty weak signal from this, but it's sufficient for my needs. It doesn't have the range of my old Linksys PCI adapter.


Back to $9.99 again. Bumping...


does anyone know if this adapter works with a mac? Thanks.

Should be according to the spec.

"Operating System: Windows98SE, ME, 2000, XP, SP2, x64, Vista, MAC, Linux "


Does anyone know what chipset this has in it? I'm looking for something to use with Kismet/Kismac.

Edit: Looks like it SHOULD work. http://trac.kismac-ng.org/wiki/DriverComparisonTable


They don't have this device listed explicitly, but all other Realtek8187 chip sets work: http://trac.kismac-ng.org/wiki/HardwareList#USBRealtekRTL8187Lbaseddevices


Does this work with xbox360 ? Thanks for sharing

No it DONT.


802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, REALTEK 8187 Chipset, Support Vista X64, Retail Pack, Item Number: 216-215-001

Back to 9.99 and FS with coupon code HW2162155OFF. Review says it works with Ubuntu so I may be in for 1.

"Cheap way to get the Realtek 8187 into your machine. Usb dongle is smaller than most and fits nicely into cramped areas behind the machine. Immediately recognized by the (Ubuntu) Linux kernel, so nothing resembling a driver was needed. Decent signal stren"

Anyone know of any better deal on a 802.11g Wireless USB2 Adapter that works with Ubuntu?


Thanks just what I was looking for Thanks!


Sigh ... looks like the USB adapter days of $5 AR or FAR are gone (used to be the case couple of years back). Not sure what happened? Did these guys drop production or something? This is the best price I could find. Thanks OP.

I've never seen USB wireless adaptors for $5 or FAR. This is indeed the cheapest price that I know of. Plus, the adaptors work pretty good.
