Good range
Reviewed by James. Review Posted 16/02/2007
Nice and cheap and has a very good range. Easy to install but easier to use if you just let windows do it for you.
The signal did tend to drop occasionally, but that could be due to many things.
The long USB cord allowed the device to be move around to get the best signal.

Compact, portable, easy to install and it works!
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 11/09/2005
This is a breeze to install. It came bundled with a wireless ADSL modem/router/firewall (DSL-G604T) so I didn't actually pay the full price for it. The accompanying CD installed drivers on WinXP without trouble. It's currently working on a PC that's about 25ft away from the router, with two old walls between, and signal strength is strong to very strong in its present location. Recommended.
