When your laptop's built-in wifi card dies, just buy one of these instead of spending over $100 at the shop fixing it. Great backup wifi card.
Rating: - Pretty Good
This product works well, easy to connect, and is reliable. My only complaint is that the lights are there for show and don't really do anything. My last one blinked as it received and sent information, kind of like a hard drive light works. I like the durability and style though
Rating: - Great deal and signal!
I bought this wireless adapter even though my older Dell has an internal wireless card. I had purchased a wireless g router about a year ago and just felt I could make do with 10mbps that my internal wireless card allowed. My internet was lagging so I did some research and found this card real cheap!
Shipping was on time and no problems with my order.
It is new in box so I just unwrapped, installed drivers and software, rebooted and plugged in the card...viola!

Rating: - Very hard to setup, but once setup, would work great
I bought 5 of these cards for 5 laptops and 3 of them r working after lot of work, but 2 of them r still not setup. And so they r not working. So basically its just about the luck to get it get it setup.
But once setup, it works great.
Rating: - Works well, requires a software utility to work
The Setup was a bit odd as you need to install the software utility before installing the card. Reports connected at 108Mbps because a I have a DLink router that also supports it. You cant' the part that sticks out of the laptop feels a bit flimsy, but it'll probably good enough.
