Best reception after testing many others.......2007-08-14
After trying a whole assortment of adapters from a variety of manufacturers, this one, and another one also from Hawking, consistently gave the best results. I have Version Z2, which another reviewer has posted a picture of. I used the drivers and software from the CD in the box. The current Amazon picture is the first Version.
In order to have the adapter that will have the best chance of connecting, I tried many--including Belkin, Linksys, Netgear (several), Buffalo, and Motorola. This Hawking performed the best, and often was the only one that would connect when the others wouldn't. I took the rest back.
I feel quite satisfied with this one, after trying so many others.
Works.......2007-04-02
I live on the first floor on Upper West Side in NYC and it regularly detects at least 10 networks.
Sometimes freezes up, I then shake it a bit and/or blow into it, and it starts working again (I suspect that everything I do is just a placebo, though).
Not having any experience with other adapters, I say it does what it is supposed to do.
HWU54G - G I wish it still worked.......2007-01-30
Hola,
1st, Amazon has 2 different pictures under the item description, the 1st item pictured is actually the HWU54G revision Z, the 2nd picture (the one I currently own) is HWU54G revision Z2. You can view more information on Hawkings website [...].
So this product gets 2 stars for the 2 things that it actually does. The unit does connect wirelessly to your router. I had to use the USB port in the front of my computer to connect to my router because the rear USB ports were too far out of range from my office to the living room
< 8 feet. Connectivity wasn't terrible, but was only 'good' according to windows wireless network detection, for the short distance I was expecting a bit more.
Secondly, the product just quit on me after 1 year. I'm no expert at computers or wireless networking but I was able to figure out the little yellow exclamation point in the device manager means that something strange is afoot. I received the Code 10 error: Device will not start, so I contacted tech support (India) and they told me I needed to update the drivers. I updated the drivers, same problem. India had nothing else to share with me after I emailed them back. Our IT guy at work said these thumb drives used for networking can be a big buggy so I since purchased a more permanent PCI network card that I've not had any problems with so far and connectivity is quite a bit better.
If I'm able to cash in on the supposed 2 year warranty I will edit the post but so far that has been a no go. This product may work well for those traveling that don't leave their computer hooked up their LAN 24/7, but for the money you may as well buy a PCI card (if you have the space) and not occupy the USB port on your desktop.
works fine w/ Linux and Windows XP..........2006-12-16
no problems under either OS, and was especially happy with the Ubuntu Linux compatability....getting many wifi adapters to work w/ Linux is difficult. This applies to VER 2, have not tried VER 3.
you get what you pay for..sigh.......2006-06-30
I'll keep this short and sweet. I know my way around computers and wireless networks. This Hawking USB wireless adapter gave me the following issues:
1) slow to connect, sometimes taking 5 minutes
2) sometimes would never connect
3) poor signal strength
4) it died on me finally!
I replaced it with a US Robotics USB adapter and that adapter does what it should. It connects very quickly once windows boots. It ALWAYS connects. It gives a great speed, and web-pages come up fast.
I don't recommend the Hawking USB wireless adapter. The money savings is not worth your time and heartache.

Sturdy and reliable CD Traveler.......2007-08-24
Case Logic DMP-24 CD Traveler
I am pleased with the high quality of this compact, well-sewn and lined, lightweight case. It can be belted to your shoulder-bag strap, belt, briefcase, or whatever you use, and your hands are free. The CD-mp3 player pouch zips closed to fully protect the player from rain or heat, and the sturdy outside-case plug holds your earphone jack connection tightly in place as you walk or jog. 24-CD pouch zips open for easy access. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is that you do have to unzip the cd player pouch and pull out your player to operate the buttons or view the screen. For my uses, that is only a minor inconvenience.
Not big enough.......2004-05-01
You might think that a case that holds 24 cds would be a decent size. This is not. It is tiny. It only has room for the player and the cds. It has a little pocket for earbud headphones, but I wouldn't recommend using it, because you have to jam them in and they wind up getting crushed. There certainly is no room for spare batteries (except in the cd area, where they will fall out each time you open it; maybe you could stick them in with tape). And heaven forefend you should want to put regular headphones or a car adapter in it, because that is definitely right out. And contrary to the product description, it does not have an adjustable strap of any kind. It has a little handle for hand-carrying, and a little snap-strap (although due to its placement, I'm not sure what it would be good for). It also does not have some features that would be nice, such as a see-through window to see your display, but I knew this when I ordered it.
If all you want is a case for your player and 24 cds that you carry in your hand, then this might do the job. If you are looking for an all-in-one tote for your portable music set-up, I would recommend you look elsewhere.
A great case.......2003-08-18
I bought this case to protect my CD player after I dropped the slippery thing and had to replace it. This case is great. It hold the player securely and is easy for my clumsy hands to hang on to. I also appreciate the storage space for my favorite CDs.
