That doesn't seem like a bad deal...

BTW - You're link to "***GET $10 FREE AT OVERSTOCK.COM! YES FREE!! NO CATCH!!*** " is over now... Overstock said ends "7/31" or do you know something different?

 

[GeneValgene]

really have no use for this, but i bought it anyway...maybe i'll just use it for the usb cables haha

they go for around the same price on ebay, but cheaper shipping at woot

 

[dud]

These ar great for the large % of users who do not (or will ever) need the throughput provided by 802.11g.

 

[labgeek]

I think it'll come in handy for temporary access for when people bring me their PCs to "fix".

My bad. I need to change that. They are now giving a $10 credit if you use the "make it mine" feature at their auctions.

My kingdom for a wireless adapter deal that will work with my Tivo....

 

[GeoffS]

I'm in... hope they don't suck!

Thanks OP! :thumbsup:

 

[SwiftWind]

This should go fast...

Edit: Just as I posted this they went OOS...

 

[labgeek]

<-- is IBTWSO ( In Before The Woot Sold Out)

 

[SwiftWind]

I did some checking...this is a good deal. cheapest I spotted on froogle was 24.99

I wonder how small these things are and what kind of power they have compared to wireless cards.

 

[mrrman]

Yep that's what was posted 2 hours ago...

#1 It's D-Link
#2 It's 802.11 B

Either one of those alone would make this NOT a hot deal. But since it's both together, this is one of the worst deals ever...

i've been using d-link for the past 10 years, and no problems with any of their products

 

[Brutis84]

I got in before OOS, can anyone elaborate on if these are usb 1.1 and would that limit the 11mbs 802.11b speed?

 

[DongTran]

damn I needed these too

 

[gorcorps]

Grrr... I needed badly.

Nothing. Been using D-link for years and I'm amazed at how well things work for such low priced equipment.

Correct me if I'm wrong but:

USB1.1 TM*: 12Mbit
802.11B TM: 11Mbit

*TM=Theoretical Max

Yeah, especially considering you'll get nowhere near that with 802.11b, you're fine. You can easily download at 500kb via USB1.1

Shouldn't be an issue.

 

[thujone]

damn... could have used one of these. just moved my computer desk in the other room and now have a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long coax cable running in from the living room for my cable modem

 

[TuxDave]

Dammit!!! I needed those...

 

[SemperFi]

After going to compusa yesterday for the $9.99 motorola and coming back empty handed this would have made up for it. Too bad I didn't get home earlier tonight.

 

[Miramonti]

Maybe I should have jumped on this. No need for one now but ya neffer know...
