Best Wireless USB Adapter

Rambaud · 31 Jul 2006 at 07:45

I am using a BT Voyager 1055 adapter at the moment (bought to go with a BT Router), but need to buy another one.

OcUK have the Belkin at £17.92, and a Netgear at £37.54.

The Voyager 1055 is ~ £25.00.

Any recommendations?

I have been using the wireless adapter from belkin and not had any problems with it. If you only have a 54mb network and don't plan to go much fater anytime soon it should be fine.

Thanks for the input.

54Mb seems lekly to be fine for the moment.

I shall be sending the Voyage 1055 back, and get 2 x Belkin - unless there are any better options.

BTW, BT Broaband charged me £50.00, when the 1055 is only £30.00 in the BT shop!! :confused:

The best usb wireless adaptor is the Hawking satellite dish, which has an 8db antenna

Although meant to be preety good, it's a bit on the bulky side.

I went for a couple of US Robotics 802.11g 54Mbps dongles - mainly for the 2 year warranty.
