Advantages: easy to use Disadvantages: occasional connection disruption, feels cheap
This is a ok adaptor. ITs very easy to install on your pc, jsut put in the cd, plug it in, install it and your off. Once its connected theres you just need to conmnect it with your wireless router, but thats pretty easy to.
The downside to this little device is that sometimes you'll randomly loose connection to the internet, and then connect agian ten minutes later. Although this happens occassionally it is very annoying and disruptive. Also its ...

Advantages: fast speed high connection and signal strength, eay to use CD Disadvantages: overheating, breaks down quickly quite quickly
Again, this was first a birthday present for me and it was the only way of recieving broadband in our home. A wirless adaptor by the way is something that recieves wirless signal from a wireless router so you dont have to limit a modem to one computer, but can send out signals to those in the house around you, and this thing picks these signals up.
Allthough the wirless adaptor was not plug and play (but most adaptors aren't anyway) it had a clear ... ...system spesifications and showed if you actually met them or not and then continued atomatically to the setup screen. Only after this were the other options accesible on a menu screen. However it does not start the installation process again upon insertion of the disc in to the drive like some programmes and usually your main goal when you put a CD in to the computer for the first time you generally want to install the programme and not download ...

Advantages: Good signal quality, good value for money Disadvantages: Occassionally signal is interrupted
Having owned this for over a year I am generally pleased with the good quality internet connection this allows me to pick up.
This is about the size of a large pen drive, and it weighs very little. Although it is plastic is is fairly dutrable, but I don't really think that that is a necessity in wireless adaptors.
This also comes with an extension if your need that extra range, which is easy to connect, and is a fairly longf cable.
This looks ... ...the driver for this on your pc, and yes it does work with Vista.
Occassionally I have had problems where I've been randomly disconnected from my access point, but a quick plug out and in usually sorts this out.
Overall I'm pleased with the item, and I think it is good value for money. ...

Advantages: small, USB connectivity, solid product Disadvantages: None
The D-Link AirPremier AG DWL-AG132 Wireless 108AG USB Adapter is small but does wonders for your WiFi needs. First, primary reason why I opted for this reciever is its USB connectivity. The PC I was going to you use this didn't have any available PCI slot so I have to go for this one. And I am pretty pleased with that decision. Being an USB device offers a lot of advantages. This means you can install and use this on several PCs by being just a plug-and-play ... ...around different PCs or laptops. Signal for this is good. Speed is within specifications. Used it about 60-70 feet away from router and signal rating is between very strong to excellent. Though I have seen some that are stronger (PCI cards), you shouldn't have any problem using it within the house. Unit construction is pretty sturdy too. This usb adapter by the way comes with an 2-feet extension dock which comes handy if you don't want to plug it ...
