MediaLink MWN-USB54G Wireless USB Adapter Review

I've had the MediaLink MWN-USB54G wireless USB adapter installed on two Windows XP computers for the past four months. Since that time neither computer has had a dropped connection. I can't say how this adapter will perform under extreme stress as I seldom use my computer for reasons other than work which does not require a high-performance adapter.

I wanted a wireless USB adapter that would provide a solid wireless connection with the router and this adapter has performed flawlessly for me.

According to the MediaLink website the MWN-USB54G wireless adapter offers the following:

• complies with 802.11g and 802.11b standards
• wireless transmission rates of up to 54Mbps
• include 64/128/152-bit WEP encryptions
• include 128-bit WPA encryptions
• auto detects available wireless networks
• guaranteed compatible with all 802.11n routers

Recently I was interested in purchasing a third MediaLink MWN-USB54G wireless USB adapter but couldn't find any for sale. I had purchased the previous two adapters at Amazon but it is no longer an active product on their web site, or any other online tech supply store I checked.

As the MediaLink adapter appears to be no longer available, I purchase a Zonet ZEW2500P wireless adapter. You can read my review of this adapter by clicking here.
