where do you find all these deals? email?

I have never seen a newegg rebate before this is interesting. I wonder if they pay them quicker than a normal company

newegg rebates are good.

Got this from 1saleaday for $10 now its $3AR w/ 1 yr warranty. In for another just to have a spare.

Medium Rare Please
 

I prefer mine with a little A1 sauce and maybe some steamed asparagus on the side.

I considered buying one of these because of the dual-band support, but it has horrible reviews. I bought a different dual-band model on ebay and the seller sent me the wrong model. Well, now I have a reason to try this one out.

30% 1 star review, $10 rebate, pass.

works well have one from an earlier NCIX $5 deal - no stand with this one unlike the AE-1000

Great price. I have this and its not bad adapter. I have it connected to an E3000 router with dd-wrt.

I never had one disconnect so people with issues usually involve their network setup.

Why would you connect this adapter to a router? Isn't it for a device that doesn't have a wireless card?

OK. Why would one need to plug this into a router?
Isn't this supposed to go into a PC without a wireless card? Or am I missing something :please2:

pretty crappy ratings. I'm surprised it even has 5 ghz

Nice needed one for my Raspberry Pi.

I have two, one on media server and other on pc to stream MKV movies over 5ghz signal and works great no buffering or video skipping. Also got their Cisco WET610N-RM over 5ghz and connected my PS3 (COD BO2) for better wireless performance because there are like 30 homes on 2.5ghz signals on all bands interfering with mine.

Believe nycdude was saying that he's got it *Wi-Fi* connected to his e3000 router.

haha ya that makes sense

:thumbup:

uh ... oh... will this support R-Pi? I have my Pi in the mail :) Drivers???

im eating steak and eggs for breakfast in thanksgiving day....yay

will this work for a panasonic viera that is internet ready? i dont feel like running the usb cable from living room

crap why isnt the warranty available for Florida residents

Great, got 1 for linksys product trial.

Solid deal for dual band adapter, thanks.

yeah a lot of bad reviews on this one

Thanks OP! In 4-1. :woot:

Google has 4 star review on this so not to bad with over 200 reviewing it

I have one of these... FWIW

I can never tell if it's my internet going out or this thing that's unstable, but I get frustrated pretty frequently with my connection going out for short periods of time.

For three bucks, buy it as a spare. Look elsewhere for a more permanent solution.

Other items to consider is the physical location of your router. Move it to a different location and test the signal; things like heaters, fans, microwaves, walls anything emitting energy will slightly interfere with your wireless signal. 5Ghz will have a shorter range than 2.4Ghz.

does this offer any better wi-fi speed when the router used is a wireless-G

warning: i bought a refurbished version of this and it SUCKED, the range is ridiculously low. so i went on amazon and bought one of these [amazon.com]for $30

Does the fact that it is refurbished make the rebate harder to get?

doesn't matter. oos now.

If this is like the ae1000 be warned:

There is no way to select the frequency if an SSID has the same name on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

Phrased another way: You cannot manually select the 5ghz band SSID if there is already a 2.4ghz SSID of the same name. Since many corporate environments have their networks setup in this way, this may be a big deal to some.

use a1000 gave me 300Mbps 24/7
now let me get my newegg foo young cooking :lol:

Used to connect a non wireless computer to a wireless router. I use one of these for getting internet to computers I am fixing that do not have wireless. It is super fast and works great. My only gripe is that the drivers are not integrated into any Windows OS including 7 so you must install the drivers from the CD that comes with the adapter in order to use it, other than that it is a great deal at $10 and a steal at only $3AR.

gone..

Darn back in stock but $9.99 after rebate now :(

they love to play games

Update: $19.99 with a $10 Newegg rebate card.

According to the warranty terms...

"8. CANCELLATION AND REFUND. You may cancel this Contract at any time for any
reason. If You cancel this Contract within sixty (60) days of the date purchased You will receive
a refund of the full purchase price less any claims."

I'm thinking I'll just test it out a bit and apply for the $6.99 refund. That would make this better than FAR by a few bucks.

Agree, I got a refurbished one as well and it is the Sh*ttiest adapter ever. If you're looking for an adapter for a desktop and don't mind the size, get this Rosewill RNX-N250UBE [newegg.com] the range is amazing, 5 bar signal from the corner of the house to the router thanks to dual antenna!
