Great usb adapter!!!!! 5 by .. puffer458 (los angeles usa)
I just bought a computer with windows 7 and my old adapter wouldn't work. Bought this after reading the recommendations and they were right! Loaded right up and boy did it work. Our wireless router is all the way across our house (3500 sq ft.) and got an excellent signal. The best thing is with downloading. I could never get over 400kbs but got at least two to three times that with the new adapter. Get this, you can't miss.

works great 5 by .. M. Blackburn (New Lenox, IL)
Followed the advice of others, did not load the utility software, had to download the xp drivers from website, they were not included on the disk. It definitely has a great range, saw at least two dozen wireless networks after I installed and configured.

Excellent performance, great value 5 by .. Mbirds (Alexandria, VA)
First, the con. It is unwieldy for a dongle. You really benefit from a USB extension cable if you are using this with a laptop.

Now, the pros.

Excellent performance. I installed drivers only (no utility) and let windows manage the device. I get far superior performance two stories up from my basement router than I did with my netbook's built in card. Superb reception as confirmed by a Windows "excellent" five bars vs. two previously, and my DD-WRT router's connection ratings (40 percent vs 17 percent).

As a huge added bonus for power users, it has a replaceable antenna and is ready for your homemade cantenna or a commercial upgrade.

A great value and it runs nice and cool for its power. If you can live with the clunky size, buy it. It is a great mobile adaptor you can easily shift to other PC's and antennas. Though the included antenna works very well.

The best USB network dongle of the 5 I have owned from Belkin, Netgear, Trendnet, and a generic Ralink. When I use inSSIDer or netstumbler, far more networks show up in range. I had issues streaming video on my home network and this solved the problem. It may not be 300M/S but it gives you a solid connection which is more important than rated speed.

Doing the works, but not the magics 4 by .. TT (Boston)
Use it on my brand new macbook pro. The mac 10.6 driver worked.
It did improve the signal but only slightly better than the MBP
build-in wireless.
Next I tried it on an old PC laptop. It detected more and
stronger signals than the PC laptop build-in.

Pros:
802.11n support, working Linux and SnowLeopard drivers, easy to carry.

Cons:
not supporting WPA2 enterprise protocol, plastic structure not very strong


WORKS 4 by .. Charles G. Tucker ()
I needed something a little stronger than the Linksys card that I was currently using. It would drop out occasionally. This little devise has 100% signal strength always and picks up 7 other signals, where the linksys card would only pick up 2.
