Wireless USB

I like the linkstick and it works great when my Blue-Ray is not near my router. The only thing I do not like it the cap for the USB plug does not fit snugly and tends to fall off. Tighten the cap up and this is a great product!
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: loose cap
I would recommend this to a friend!

This little piece of gear is an excellent item to have if you're running a home network. It allows me to show video's that I have downloaded as it identifies my computer on the network and I am able to choose it as a source for Screen output. Just outstanding!!
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you are going to have a SMART TV, you'll need to link it up to the internet! This is tool you will need. It was affordable, easy to use, set up, and reliable. I have not had a single issue with its use since install. Do not hesitate to get it.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

This works but just barely. It needs a better replacement.

I run a wireless network using my 2Wire DSL modem/wireless router from AT&T. I've never had any problems with any wireless devices, but using this stick with either my new Samsung C5900 Blu-Ray player or my new Samsung 8000 series LED 3D TV is just painful. The reason is mostly that I like to run a WPA-TKIP encrypted wireless network, which is apparently asking too much from Samsung's equipment. I can get a stable connection if I turn my encryption off, but I refuse to run my network that way. If I bump my encryption down to WEP then I can get better results, but still not good enough to keep a connection. The TV is more robust at this than the Blu-Ray player, so the fault may all lie in those products and not the wireless stick, but since this is the only way Samsung wants you to operate their equipment on wireless, I have no other way to test that theory.
I have stopped using the stick altogether in favor of a Rukus Access Point and Host Station pair. I put a Netgear 10 port Ethernet Switch behind my entertainment center and plugged my TV and Blu-Ray player, plus an older DVD player, into the switch and connected the switch the the Access Point, and now I get flawless high speed streaming and the best point is that I get to keep my WPA-TKIP encryption active on my wireless network.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Works very well...can watch HDX movies on Vudu without any lag

I have recently purchased a Samsung LN46C650 46-Inch LCD HDTV, and got the wireless adapter with it. I had little expectations, and didn't believe I could watch HD movies using the wireless, but wanted to give it a try anyway. My home network is configured with a Linksys router on 802.11 G. Install was easy (manual config, my network is secured using WPA2). I was surprised with the wireless performance. Yesterday, I watched Avatar on Vudu in HDx. No lag. No performance issue. I then plugged a network cable to look at difference. Wired, menus are loading more quickly, but experience watching a movie is the same. I recommend the device. I read a few online reviews where people expressed they had issues. I think most people may experience problem if they have a bad network coverage (in a wall corner, enclosed in a cabinet, etc.). If you have a large home, consider using a repeater nearby. Bottom line, as with any other wireless network adapter, if you have a decent network coverage, you will experience great performance!
I would recommend this to a friend!
