 Works like a charm on old macs November 4, 2008
Laura Serrano (Costa Rica)
I have an ancient G3 iBook, which refuses to retire. Setup wasn't complicated (I have Tiger OS) and haven't had any hang up trouble. Nice little gadget.
 OK September 30, 2008
Patricia L. Barrett (prunedale)
Have a g wireless sys and internal b in my ibook. No appreciable increase in internet loading with adapter and very inconvenient hanging off the side. These adapters stick out and could easily be damaged. at least this one has a u-joint that helps a lot in this respect but had some trouble staying in position set. Not much invested so it was worth a try.
 Stopped working after only a few months September 22, 2008
Joy (Arlington, VA)
I was very relieved to find this product, as I'd also spent a long time looking for a wireless USB adapter that would work for my IBook. It was easy to set up and worked well, until after only a few months it stopped working! I've purchased this item twice and had the same problem both times. Not pleased!

 Not 10.5 (Leopard) compatible July 24, 2008

I am returning it. I have OS 10.5 (Leopard) but the drivers on the installation CD are for 10.3 and 10.4 only. I could not find updated drivers on the Addlogix website. I would have waited for new drivers if I hadn't seen a review from 9 months ago making the same observation.
