Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Having tried a number of different wireless network adapters that connect to the computer via the USB port I have found that this type of device is much better. It is more reliable; and faster to give you a connection when logging into Windows. This adapter frees you from problems with sleep mode, screen savers, etc. that USB type adapters may have. If you use Linux, Mac OS, etc. this device is a nice solution as well. The installation program is slightly buggy, but I was able to get the device configured and it has worked flawlessly ever since. If you have a device that has an RJ-45 Ethernet port and you want to connect it to an A, B or G wireless network this is the best way that I have found. Internal cards that plug into the PCI or PCI express ports are also reliable and might be better for online gaming. But I occasionally like to be able to move my adapter to other devices that have RJ-45 Ethernet ports like Game Consols, other computers, etc. Many other companies make similar adapters that only use the B & G type networks. This is the only device that I could find that can use type A networks that I use. You can only connect to one router or access point at a time. The only gripe that I have is lack of some encryption protocols. I live in a rural area so encryption isn't too important to me. The encryption types that this device support are dated and insufficient for important business use in a location that would be prone to wireless snooping.
