It works, it works!, August 4, 2008
By user (Panama City, FL USA)
This adapter seems to work quite well, although we have only had it for a few days. Here are a couple comments:
1. Under Windows XP, the Hawking wireless configuration program does not want to connect to weak signals. The Windows wireless configuration program seems to work better.
2. This adapter also works with Ubuntu (Linux) 8.04, using NDISWrapper. The adapter's chipset is the Ralink RT2870. After XP installation, the rt2870.sys and .inf files (for use with NDISWrapper) are available in the Program Files\Hawking\HWDN1 Wireless LAN Card\Driver directory. You can point to rt2870.inf in this directory (on a Windows partition) from Ubuntu's Windows Wireless Drivers tool (or copy the .sys and .inf files to something like a USB memory stick and carry them to an Ubuntu machine). The driver was installed instantly, and the adapter works without rebooting Ubuntu.

Finally something that works as advertised!, August 4, 2008
By user (Florida, USA)
I purchased this last week and hooked it up last night. It worked perfectly for me. Installation was easy and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the settings. I am about 500 ft from the source and it is in a separate concrete building. While I am only able to get about 50% signal strength I think that this is great. I am going through multiple interior walls and two concrete block walls over a distance of 500 ft. With a normal wireless card it couldn't even find a network let alone one strong enough to get a good connection. I also have a friend that lives in a apartment that has WIFI at the clubhouse. She is two buildings away but has a window with a view of the building. She set the receiver in the window and was able to get around 40% signal. Considering that she got nothing before this is good. I would definitely recommend trying this dish.

Works As Advertised!, July 16, 2008
By user (Illinois, USA)
I was a little skepticle about buying this product at first since most products like this are complete wastes of money, but this one works great! It's EXTREMELY easy to install and within minutes I had 5 new connections that I never was able to access before.
Pros: Works as advertised, relatively small, easy to install, works GREAT on XP AND Vista
Cons: somewhat fragile design
Also note that many networks these days are security enabled, so if you're buying this to try to steal you're neighbor's internet-- you MAY not be able to do so without a password. However, this is still a great product.

It Works! Can not get on internet with my new laptop with built in card.But when I hook up This little Hawk,I can!!!!!!!!! ., July 6, 2008
By user (Memphis,Tn.)
I live in a large City ( Memphis Tn.) Without this I can not get on the internet with my new laptop in my bedroom. But when I connect this little hawk,(just pointing toward a neighbors source,)I am on with only one bar showing on signal strenth meter.Took it outside in front lawn and no problem.But if you plan on using it out doors it's not water proof and If you need distance between computor and little hawk you need a USB repeater cable.
