SUPER FAST SETUP AND CONNECTION TIME!!! . I'm happy I didn't read the reviews before buying this amazing adapter, because I now own one of the best USB network adapters money can buy! I do have to say that I did buy the lower grades of Belkin adapters and they were in now way comparable to this model... I'm averaging twice the network speed and blazing through internet sights like never before! I have been using the adapter with no problems what so ever with a netgear WNDR3700 N600... I will report back if I experience any adverse reactions to my computer/and or operating system. I'm not a computer network expert or wiz but rest assured that you do not need to be one in order to maximize the full benefits of this unit.
Thank you

Belkin Play Wireless USB Adapter (F7D4101) Reviews
Great wireless adapter . As a computer expert I had quite a difficult time getting this device to connect to my Belkin router model F5D8235-4. I could not set it up manually they way I usually do. Instead I was forced to broadcast my SSID which I normally don't do and use the WPS method of connecting. This should actually be easier to setup for most people using that method anyway. All you do is press the WPS button on the router for more than 3 seconds. Then press the button on the wireless adapter to complete the automatic configuration. I still had to put my key in manually but it connected fine after that. I'm very happy with the speed and performance of this adapter while it is connected. One more thing: I'm using the 802.11n mode only on my router since I only have this one device on my network right now.

Belkin Play Wireless USB Adapter (F7D4101) Opinions
GREAT BARGAIN FOR THE PRICE!!! . Title says it all. I almost purchased the exact same item at a retail store for 3x the price I paid! The only thing that bothers me is that it is so bulky that it blocks my other USB ports, but if you a attach a USB extension cord you're good to go! When it comes to portable USB adapters, the penny pincher can't go wrong with this one. AMAZING VALUE!! Best quality for less. Speed Test clocked me 12mb p/s while I was getting 13 wired! Tell me that's not something good?! Plus Password free configururation using the WiFi button (with matching router). So satisfied with this product that I bought 2!

Belkin F7D4101 . I had trouble receiving an adequate signal on my laptop when at any distance over about 20 feet from my AT&T "2 wire" router/modem. The Belkin adapter now gives me a range of almost 100'. I bought the device with some reservation but thought I'd try it. I'm impressed. Also highly satisfied.
Cons Review
Buggy!! . This piece of crap not only has problems working with the N600 HD a Belkin product, but it is continually hosing up. You have to disable, wait, and then enable this thing all of the time to get to work. Anytime you re-boot your laptop, close the lid to move to another room, you have to either unplug the adapter or go though the disable, enable thing. Save your money go with something else.
do not buy it . I bought this in walmart, disabled the wifi card in my laptop, installed the driver for the Belkin Play wireless usb adapter, then the adapter. I am using another belkin wireless router (older, 802.11g). Normally my laptop gets excellent connection in my room. I'm using windows 7.
I give the usb adapter 1 star for detecting the router in the first place. Couldn't connect at all, and it would get poor to fair (2 mostly, maybe 3 bars randomly) in my room. To get an excellent connection i had to be in the same room as the router, like another review said, like 20 feet.
Utter junk. Last time I use belkin. Not even gonna bother to see if it works better with the Play Max router.
Returning it ASAP.

Caused my new Dell to crash . As soon as the disk software was installed my brand new Dell with Windows 7 started crashing routinely. I even worked with Dell tech support (at the first level) and they couldn't find a software that didn't make the computer crash. Taking it back. Who's got time for this nonsense?
Extremely poor results when used with Belkin Play Max . These comments apply to using the Belkin Play Max Router with the Belkin Play Wireless dual band USB Adapter (F7D4101). After wasting 7-8 hours messing around with this router it still had absolutely no range on either 2.4 or 5Ghz bands. Both bands start dropping off at 20' even in an open room. Going into the next room or up a short open staircase and I was quickly out of range or this router. Way less range then my old Linksys WRT54GX router. The Belkin did connect at 300mbps on 2.4Ghz and 216mbps on the 5Ghz band at close range but internet speed tests on either band with the Belkin router connected to a Comcast cable modem with a 7' Cat 5e cable were no better than the Linksys g router connected at 54mps. Both gave wireless speeds of about 14,000Kbs down and 2500Kbs up, probably limited by the Comcast connection. For reference, connecting to the Comcast cable modem with a Cat 6 cable directly to my Lenovo T60 tested about 20,000Kbs down and 2500Kbs up. Had to return the Belkin Play Max and am currently back to my Linksys g router because it has triple the range or more than the Belkin n.
