Good reception great flexibility. . We purchased the SS1022 USB Adapter for the PC in our guest bedroom after failing to get a Linksys internal wireless card that would keep a signal. Despite the computer being just 1 wall (and less than 15 feet) away from our network's Wireless Access Point (WAP), the internal wireless card failed to perform. We were attracted to the SS1022 adapter because it's external and could thus be repositioned easily for better reception, unlike the internal card's tiny external antenna extending from the CPU (on the floor, beneath a wood desk). Installation of the SS1022 went without problems, and we now have a fully Internet-ready guest room PC for visitors to check their email or play multiplayer games with us, all wirelessly!No more wires!

Siemens SpeedStream Wireless USB Adapter (SS1022) Reviews
Siemens USB Wireless Adapter works well on 2 computers . I needed a wireless adapter for two different computers - one new XP laptop and one PII desktop on 98SE. I tried a NetGear MA101 and spent most of a day with two professionals trying to get it to work - no luck. Then I bought the Siemens SS1022 Wireless USB Adapter and had both computers online wirelessly in less than 40 minutes with 128 bit WEP enabled. The adapter is about 30 feet and two walls away from a NetGear MR814 Access Point. The adapter comes with a nice LAN utility which shows up as an icon in the system tray when the adapter is plugged in and disappears when you unplug it. Great item and easy to set up and monitor.

The best USB Wireless Adapter . I have used several different brand Adapters, this is the best one. It has much stronger signal than PCI Wireless adapter.
Worked like a charm even on older computers . I bought 2 of these, along with an SMC Barricade router/access point. I had no problem setting them up at all. I used one on a Windows 2000 laptop (an older one without network card), another on Windows XP Home. I recently moved the laptop one to an older P2 Windows 98 SE, and it recognized the network first time. The only issue I had was of my own making. I have both a home network and one using MS Groups. Still, once I figured out my problem, everything worked fine. The issue I had was strictly with directory sharing, nothing else. Highly recommend!
This is an outstanding wireless adapter . I have installed and used three of these adapters on 2 desktop machines and 1 laptop, running Win98, Win2000, and WinXP. The adapter is extremely easy to install, the wireless utility is very informative and intuitive, the adapter has good range and looks good. I recommend it very highly!
Try it and you'll like it . I bought my SpeedStream Wireless USB Adapter almost an year ago. I had issues about the reception, because I already tried the NETGEAR one. I had no reception with the Netgear products and when I plug the Siemens one, I was surprised. I got 60 to 66% signal against 0% by Netgear. Bottom line is that I advice you to choose this product if you want to be most satisfied from using your internet, or network at all!
Make sure you install the right driver . Make sure that you installed the right driver. updated driver is available on the website of the manufacture. On the other hand, Windows XP has a built-in software module to control wireless device. You can choose either of them, Windows built-in software or configuration Utility provided by manufacture, but make sure which one is actived. I just want to tell you that you don't need to feel frustrated if you can't set up your device. You may block the utility that you are trying to use. This is the most sensitive device comparing to other brands.
Cons Review
Never worked . I followed the instructions to ignore the warnings related to the uncertified driver on an Windows XP system and when I tried to set the wireless configuration through the WinXP Zero Configuration Utility, my brand new PC crashed with a memory dump. Repeated tries with different settings etc. gave the same result. Thanks to Amazon's liberal return policy, I returned it and ended up buying a Linksys USB adapter (WUSB11) which worked great out of the box.
Fails when other wireless adapter work. . This adapter worked Ok for me under Win98. PC running 98 would stay connected while two XP PC's (Home and Pro) would frequently drop connections with SS1022. Friends brought over an iMac with a Airporte wireless adapter - it never dropped. Toshiba and Dell laptops with integrated wireless never drop. Email to support@speedstream.com (listed in their documentation) bounces. I've purchased two 50ft patch cables until I evaluate a replacement router.
