Newer single chip (Ralink RT3070) stays cool to the touch. Version 1: Larger, old style gray adapter with a black cap. Overall Review: There are two versions of the Linksys WUSB100-RM. Installing the latest driver from Ralink as mentioned under "Pros" fixes this. This package supports the following driver models: Linksys WUSB100 RangePlus Wireless USB Adapter. With that driver, no wireless networks are visible. The 3.0.3.0 drivers that are installed by Windows 7 64-bit automatically or from linksys' support website did not work properly for me. They work at up to 150Mbps in 40MHz mode.Ĭons: Crummy driver support from Linksys as usual. These are actually 1T1R Wireless N adapters but are not certified as Wireless N for whatever reason. Most people are now receiving version 2 adapters. The same driver works for both version 1 and 2 of this adapter.
