I have had nothing but bad experiences with Linksys wireless adapters in recent years, but I've never dealt with their USB offerings so hopefully this is better.

They are bad. I had both 2 x AE1000 and 1 of these and constant drop outs, disconnects, etc. I gave up and bought some from TPlink and have not had an issue. All 3 of mine worked for about 6 months and then they really started to get bad.
 
I have 2x AE1000 and they work fine.

These are not AE1000 adapters. They are AE2500 RM
 
damn.. just picked this up from newegg a week ago, got it refurbished for around $9. Only if I waited...
This is working great with my Cisco E2000 DDWRT, 300Mbps solid connection all the time. Only had it for a week so we'll see.
 
I have terrible luck with wireless on a desktop. Tried both a USB adapter and a PCI card with a bigass antennae, but failed with disconnected and very weak signal pickup. This is manhatten.
 
A quick google search shows lots of problems running this on linux, even using ndiswrapper. Also there are no OSX drivers either.
 
Yeah, I'd have grabbed one as a spare. Would be handy to have around the house. But a quick google hunt showed it's hell to get working with Linux, and I'd want to keep around in case I needed it on a secondary box/ Raspberry Pi eventually/etc.

I'll wait for one with better Linux compatibility.
