Wow... sounds like a good deal. Anyone used this one before?

 

[Evadman]

This one is $2 shipped and is smaller. No idea how well it works though.

Wonder if I should replace my old WUSB54G that someone makes my mouse skip when I'm downloading large files.

Does penny-size = crummy reception?

Does penny-size = crummy reception?

i got a similar one, airlink101 golden 150, also from meritline.com. amazingly, reception is great! however, i couldnt get it to work in windows 7 64 bit. im thinking it's windows's wifi connection manager??? is there a better program for managing wifi?

Hmm... that's a bit disconcerting, since I run Win7 64-bit on all my machine. Guess I'll find out here in a day or two.

Guess I won't buy one then. My old one didn't work originally in W7x64. Had to connect with a wireless bridge and use Windows Update to get a working driver.

I'm assuming you're all using the win7 x64 driver from the airlink101 website?

i contact tech support and they suggested i get the driver here: http://www.airlink101.com/support/index.php?cmd=files&_a=download&id=417
it still doesnt work.
works great on my win xp machine though.

Try the Windows 7 driver from here. It's a newer driver than what's available from the airlink101 website. According to the release notes, Windows 7 compatibility has been improved since the version of the driver on airlink101's site.

Deal is dead with both coupons.

Got mine today. Unboxed, plugged in, Win7 64-bit installed the driver for it in about 30 seconds, connected to my router about 30 seconds later. Posting from it right now... working fine.

Just to give others a heads up, there's even newer drivers available from the realtek website (dated 03/31/2010) here. The chipset is RTL8192SU.

Realtek chipset? Nice. I might snag one later, even though the coupon code has expired.
