I jus bought a Live Hub and was thinking of buying a new Wireless adaptere but I had this one lying about doing nothing so thought I would try it.

It works great don’t know if my speeds are good or not getting about 1.5 to 2 mbs/se but I’m very happy with it.

1.5 mb/sec is worthless for streaming media.

Are we talking 1.5 mbps or 1.5 MB/s ? My wireless setup is G-config using an airport xpress on the HUB, and I get around 1.5 MB/s - which is fine for streaming most videos, except for high-bit-rate HD probably (havent tried)

Wouldn’t that depend on the media? Shouldnt be an issue with standard definition video, pictures, or music…

To an extent, possibly…   DVD requires around 10 megabits per second.   Most of my SD MKVs are between 1.5 and 2.5 megabits per second…

this works real good and very inexpensive

Devices that work are not always on the list. It all depends on what chipset is in the adaptor. All that WD are saying is that they have checked the ones on the list and found them to work.
