Advantages: Great network communication, very fast
Disadvantages: Big antenna

...they easily connect to my Linksys router and give the computer the best network connection I have seen. And it handles great too, as I push a lot of bandwidth in and out of my four computers monthly and I was quite surprised that none of them have given in yet to my excessive usage. The only thing I wish would be different about this guy is the big old antenna. To me, it just looks too big and kind of dumb. It would have been a lot nicer if it were ... Read review

Setup took me about a day because I had no clue what I was doing and was trying to look up info on our desktop internet to find out what I was doing wrong. There were not many directions that came in the box. I have been set up now for over a year and couldn't be happier. I have never had to reset it and have never had any problems. ... Read review

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 ...

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. ... Read review
