Is this an awful product too or is it just Medialink?

When I first received the router box in the mail I opened it up and was attacked by a swarm of bees. I am not sure if all of Medialink's routers have bees but I would treat them with caution. Also you can get the same router from Tenda for $15 apparently.

I used it on a Windows 7 OS, but Medialink's literature says it works on XP so I would have a high confidence level that it will work on XP Professional. I also have a Medialink router that works flawlessly so I have had good experience with Medialink wireless products.

My experience with the product was not successful. There was a confusing load-up of what appeared to be drivers for earlier Windows versions, then an indication to go to the company website for a "patch". After going through all this, and though the cable DID show up in the "Printers" list as a USB resource, showed itself as linked to my printer (a Canon BJC 80, listed as supported), the cable failed to communicate with the printer. Tech support was abysmal, with the response from Sabrent folks being "try the cable on another computer and tell us what happens". I sent it back...looking for a better option and will probably go with an APC or other better quality adapter and see how that goes. My experience with the product was not successful.

In theory, you can purchase just a single adapter; however, it doesn't appear that Amazon is selling the single adapter anymore. When I purchased mine, they did. I doubt that you can use another brand. Since the Medialink is about half the price of other adapters you might just purchase a second set and only use the one (remote) unit.

That goes back a LOOOOONG time ago. As I recall I had a problem with my application using this device. Not saying it was bad but didn't fit my needs. Sorry.

No. But I really didn't get that far. Their third party software is a kind of a joke and the CD they shipped was corrupt. I just boxed it up and I'm waiting for an RGA to return it. If the company fails to make good on it I'm going to pitch it in the trash. I have better things to do than to look for fixes on the web for known issues. Don't waist your money.

Unfortunately, for me, I have a terrible time with the Creative Zen. Since the interface of the Creative software is very primitive and ugly to use, I've been using my Windows Media Player 11 on my Windows Vista Ultimate. However, everytime I try to sync with the Zen, the Zen's screen would turn black. I could just use manual sync or the primitive Creative software, but why should I? This product obviously has problems with Vista, even with software and firmware updates. I bought this a month ago in January, and I plan on returning this product. Until Creative or Microsoft steps up their efforts to support their products, I suggest staying away from this MP3 (for Vista users anyway).

Hauppauge's software offerings are minimal at best. Microsoft's Windows Media Center is much better, but that's an OS Upgrade. I use Beyond TV. There are others such as Myth TV and some open source versions for windows and linux. As a note, I find that my Hauppauge 1229 requires a near perfect OTA signal to record - too weak or too strong and your recordings fail. My TV tuners with the same antenna are far superior. And, Hauppauge support is ineffective. Bottom line, if you get this tuner and it doesn't do everything you need, return it immediately, because it won't get any better.

The software is a joke. I can't stress enough to look for a different product.

It's probably a simple setting issue within your wireless settings. If if you haven't already done so, call Medialink customer service. They should be able to resolve your problem quickly.

I never got it to work. Period. It is useless. It's one of those prime examples of "you get what you pay for". I say get a really good one with a dongle and a laser pointer. It'll be worth your sanity.

My LinkS Slimport didn't work properly on my next generation Nexus7. It transmitted video to my Samsung flat screen, but no audio. The audio had intermittent "pops" and then quit entirely, stopping the video. Back to the drawing boards with Slimport. This product is either a total turkey, or their quality control on my particular unit is zilch.

It is not worth it.... Do not buy this product... The drivers are not built well and the end result is it LESS effective than most tiny internal cards. This product is NOT worth your time or money
