 The usr2216 wireless cards were crashing my XP Pro ... Strengths: Works, comes with set-up card that is helpfull, and printer support drivers.
Weaknesses: It like USR's other products has little support, terrible tech, no toll free support number, and it lacks the range they state.
Summary: 2004-05-26 15:39:25 The usr2216 wireless cards were crashing my XP Professional computers until they saw this Gateway with my DSL Efficient Network from Alltel plug-ed into it. USR was no help, after $20 of long distance calls trouble shooting the cards with them, I decided enough was enough and purchased this USR8022 just to see what would happen.
I finally had a semi-operable network, no thanks to USR tech with whom I consulted before purchasing the USR2216's, which they had said was all I needed.
The individual computers would not interact but did see the USR8022 and would access my DSL conection if with-in 30' of the USR8022. The computers would only interact before erratically with each other with them situated 6' apart.
In the end they had told me I had an environment problem.
I didn't bother to tell them I live in what is basically a farming community with no sources of interference anywhere near my home which is of brick exterior and also sits over 350' from any other home in the area and surrounded by woods.
I don't recommend USR unless you like talking long distance with un-knowlegeable people who will lie to you at your expense.
D-Link's website was my source of help that worked.
***UPDATE Dec.2,'03***
USR has new software(54Mbps.Upgrades)that has given my cards full proper operation at 22Mbps. now, but the new supported software causes the print server, which did work, to malfunction and the range is still not what they originally stated although it is better.
