Easy to install, works perfectly!
I recently purchased this to set up an N router/adapter combo (instead of the Netgear G setup we had), on 1 Desktop and 2 Laptops in our home. This was very easy to install, and the signal strength/speed has increased significantly (we are in a 1st floor apt, and had trouble getting adequate signals through the walls of an 1860 sq foot apt). Excellent product-highly recommended!

Great Range and Easy Install
I installed this on my computer with Windows Vista Enterprise in a few minutes. The system has good range and fast speed. It comes with a usb extension cable with a stand on the end that allows you to place the adapter wherever it gets the best reception.

Another great Linksys product.

Linksys WUSB600N worked perfectly for me.
Linksys WUSB600N worked perfectly for me.

Workstation: Windows Vista SP1 64bit
Location: 2nd Floor, Router (Linksys WRT54G v5) 1st floor.

1) Download latest driver from Linksys site. I never use the old drivers that comes in the box.
2) Plugged in the WUSB600N
3) Provided driver when Vista asked for it.
4) Open Connect To Network, added WPA2 Key
5) Started surfing the web :-)

I'm easily getting better performance out of this USB adapter then I got from my Card Bus Cisco AIR-CB21AG. Both are using 802.11g, not .11n

Awesome
i have been using this product with my 3yr+ desktop for about a month and i have been impressed all the way. installation was quick and painless. it connects to my WRT160N and 270Mbps at about 15m none line-of-sight and it even sees over 5 other wireless networks around me, most of which are wireless G and over 30m away. i can only use the 2.4Ghz frequency cause that's all my WRT160N can do and i just hate that my installed easylink advisor software did not allow the bundled WUSB600N software to install, it only just allowed the usb driver. all the same, this adapter works great and i'm suprised some customers are having problem with it, they really shouldn't be having any problems

Beta Product
I was very excited to move into the world of *faster* wireless connectivity with the purchase of three WUS600N adapters and a Linksys WRT610N router. I figured that any cross-manufacturer incompatibility issues would be moot if I used all Linksys products. I was upgrading from a WRT54G (I think that's the model - it's a combo wired/wireless 802.11g router from Linksys). I am running a HP Pavilion Vista desktop (directly downstairs from the router), a Gateway XP desktop (also directly downstairs from the router), and an XP Acer laptop (anywhere from the same room to four rooms away, about 30' max range). I don't have any cordless phones or anything else that takes a wireless signal. I live in a suburb with quarter acre lots, and to my knowledge, there's no big issue with interference from anything in the area. Here's my experience:

Out of the box, the laptop didn't work at all, the Vista machine connected great and continues to have great connectivity (184 MBPS, I believe). The XP desktop had reasonable connectivity, but tended to hang with connections, and I've started getting memory allocation errors at odd times (could be a coincidence, but nothing else has changed since I installed the drivers for the adapter). The laptop is an absolute disaster. I couldn't get a connection at all. I disabled the internal Broadcom wireless adapter, then changed to 40 MHz wide channel for both 5 and 2.4. This permitted me to finally connect, although the signal strength at both 5 and 2.4 are far weaker than my old router. I had issues with dropped signals, and it seemed like I had to constantly refresh the connection and reenter the security passphrase to get back on line - annoying!

The latest/last straw has been that my latest Windows "Automatic Update" (just a couple days ago) seems to have killed my ability to connect at all. I can't find anything on this anywhere - I have not dl'd the update for the XP desktop out of fear that I'll lose my connection there as well. Grrrrr.... So... I think I'm going to can the adapter, or at least using the N protocol, and revert to G again. I have to say that this has been a very frustrating ride. I've wasted a good deal of money in the hope that getting name brand stuff (which is not my usual MO) would minimize the risks of problems. Not the case. I am also seeing the down side to being an early adopter.

I'm not sure if it's the router, the adapter, or the combo/both/either, but this package is without question *not* ready for prime time. Wait a while for the final protocol to come out, and wait for some reviews confirming compatibility across platforms, systems, and different ranges. I'm hopeful that a firmware update will cure some of these issues, because I don't really have the time to fight with compatibility issues. I've had the set up for less than a month and tried all kinds of things to make it better, but I'm thinking about returning everything - it just doesn't work.
