    Free shipping, seems to be a reasonably priced deal. What are the chances it is compatible with a WDTV-Live? For $12.90 it's almost worth buying and trying…

  • overlook on 28/04/2010 - 22:46

    how come this is up to 150Mbps? isnt wireless N 300Mbps?

    • Store RepGoodBargain @ Good Bargain on 28/04/2010 - 22:50

      This is a 1T1R mode devices.
      So it's only up to 150Mbps.

      2T2R's up to 300Mbps.

          It is 1T1R. The rep. already indicated that.

          A lot of the manufacturers are selling USB adaptors this way. 1T1R are being sold as wireless N. TP-Link and Asus also sell 1T1R adaptors as wireless N.

        Gosh… how many posts do you plan to do on this…

        The rep. already indicated 1T1R…

        Given the price, plus the likelihood that it will work on a number of media players (to be confirmed), it is a good deal.

        You want a 2T2R for this price… then.. you need to wait.

  • dnnnnnnnnng on 28/04/2010 - 22:58

    Davo1111 - I don't see how it is a 'lot' to ask, the WDTV Live doesn't require extraordinary measures for USB wireless networking devices to be interoperable with it - in fact, that would surely be a significant selling point for this product if it was compatible.

    I am aware of the WD-published list of compatible devices, however thank you for posting it up for the information of other community members.

      • dnnnnnnnnng on 28/04/2010 - 23:10

        I am currently running version 0.4.1.9-6 of WDLXTV, however I haven't read anything to indicate this firmware will increase any likelihood of compatibility with non-endorsed wireless devices. The proof will be in the pudding whenever I receive my delivery…

      write speed should be around 3-6Mb/s (lower write speed on this usb flash, but it has higher read speed)
      read speed around 13-18Mb/s

      Not a bad value for this read speed IMO :)

        Just to be clear, when you say mb, do you mean megabit or megabyte? If its megabit, then the transfer rate would be 375kb-750kb/s.

    Guys this is not WiFi N Certified.

    N 150 is not to made to the standard. This is why any router advertising N 150 does not have the 802.11n certification because it's just half of what N should be. This is also why all the N 150 devices and routers are only 802.11b/g certified.

    N is rated at 300.

    Advertising N 150 as 11n is false advertising. The best you can advertise it at is N 150. You can't say 11n. It's not 11n.

    It might run at 90MBPs which is fine - but you won't get the same range as proper certified 802.11n this goes for speed too.

    The worst part is - this adapter is not guaranteed to work using the N protocol with all routers!!

    -ve from me this is only b/g certified.

      Asus sells similiar devices… Netcomm does it, Belkin also does it.

      1T1R adaptors will work with wireless N routers.

      Also, wireless N is not limited to 300 (2T2R). It can go up to 600 (4T4R).

      Since you read articles written by Tim, you would know that he actually prefers 4T4R over 2T2R.

      If you really want to follow Tim's recommendations, then you should get Wireless N 600 dual band devices, forget about wireless N 300.

      Manufacturers are cutting corners. 2T2R probably will become the mainstream (due to cost reasons). 4T4R routers are expensive at the moment.

      There is a good chance these Ralink 1T1R adaptors will work with certain media players… and those media players only support very limited number of wireless chipset. 1T1R crippled wireless N (or N-/G+ whatever you prefer to call it) still beats wireless G.

      It’s still under draft.

      FYI This is wrong. 802.11n being a draft has nothing to do with n draft certification. Read the certification article here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30804/100/

      GoodBargain: Most of the e-store advertise in this way, with “11n”

      So you are justifying your activity because other stores are also doing the wrong thing? That doesn't make sense.

      • netsurfer on 29/04/2010 - 10:59

        Mate… about the yellow box, think about it…

        Belkin is basically saying… you'd better buy Belkin products. That's expected. They would prefer you to buy Belkin products.

        Draft N or N device compatibility… it is probably still a bit of a mess at the moment. It has nothing to do with 1T1R vs 2T2R vs 4T4R (or the Intel combinations).

        Even if you get wireless N 300 devices, if they use different chipsets, there is a chance that you will not be able to get the best performance throughput.

      • cwongtech on 29/04/2010 - 17:02

        Good one.
        Netsurfer is right, if you're selling a car, would you say "oh, buy other parties' accessories for the car we sold you, they're better than the ones we sell"
        Of course not, they'd go "I'm not too sure if those parts are compatible with this car.. these are custom made just for these cars, since they're the same branding, they are all compatible!" and obviously nudge you towards buying their own product.

        " we cannot guarantee that competitors’ products are interoperable with N150 at N150 speeds. " - The awesome yellow box, important stuff pasted in here.
        You're pretty smart hey?
        I'm sure Shell cannot guarantee that BP fuel are interoperable with your car at optimum speeds. If you have one that is.

        • [Deactivated] on 30/04/2010 - 17:58

          That's fair enough but it's still not certified 11n draft - that's the main thing.

      Labelling something as .11n "draft" is actually misleading in the sense that there were 11 drafts altogether - which version of "draft" would you be referring to?

      Sure, that is called an ad-hoc network. You might need to learn a bit about networking though.

      you could setup for sharing on 1 computer so that the other computer could access, this doesnt need router to transfer file within this 2 computer.

      IP must be the same.

    • Store RepGoodBargain @ Good Bargain on 29/04/2010 - 18:21

      For PS3 and Wii, you need router to do connection, maybe if you know how to set the configuration right on the PC with the USB wifi, it might also work (more complex). For laptop, it should not have problem to access using the sharing in PC using the USB key. Generally, USB Wifi is acted as router to function.

      Agree! N150 is fine. I'm happy with that.

      But even though this is allowed - it's still purposely done this way to make people think they are getting 802.11n.

      Similarly G+ had these problems too. Very annoying.

    Great deal! I don't need this for my lappy but ordered 2 just in case, can use as a gift too :D

    Noob question. I've plugged this adapter into my Astone AP-300. Do I need a router to access the Astone from my PC?

    If I've got an OPEN824RLW modem router, will this do it?

    Cheers

      It all depends on your Astone player firmware? :)

      I believe some have tried it and it works fine on WDTV Live.
      Should be compatible with Astone as well.

      Cheers

        It "kinda" works on my WDTV Live … in that it connects to the network and gets an IP etc … but it is sooooo slllooowwwwwwwwww that it's unusable. In trying to stream a 350MB video file … it takes approx 2-3 minutes for the video to start playing and then only plays correctly for about 20 seconds.

        It's the only USB dongle I've tried on my WDTV, so don't have another one t compare it too however …

        FYI I tried it in my Astone AP-360T and it DID NOT recognise it …

    So, this works just fine with WDTV Live - very happy with it so far!

    • sloppy on 10/05/2010 - 10:41

      not yet… payment accepted on 29/4, received "shipped" email on 6/5 but no tracking # so far.

  • doctorwatson on 10/05/2010 - 17:58

    Received item. But not working in windows 7. Device is detected but still not working. Any suggestions?? Probably a complete waste of money.

    • Store RepGoodBargain @ Good Bargain on 10/05/2010 - 18:33

      May i know what's the problem?
      Why is it not working? any error msg?
      I'm sure it works on Windows 7, i've one on my w7 desktop.

      • doctorwatson on 10/05/2010 - 21:30

        its not detecting any wireless network. The wireless network icon says its disabled. When i try to enable it, its still disabled.

        • Store RepGoodBargain @ Good Bargain on 10/05/2010 - 21:46

          It should be a plug & play device on Win7.
          We encountered few similar problems in the past, it might be a faulty unit.

          Any other laptop/PC with you? Can you try it on other devices?

          We could have a warranty replacement for you immediately, please contact our staff through [email protected] for warranty issue :)

          Cheers
