I purchased this adapter because I have several computers, and one of them is a desktop tucked in the corner of my house. I figured a USB adapter would to perfect for this computer because I didn't want to "open its guts" and install wireless hardware. I also thought it would be great to be able to easily switch this adapter to my three laptops whenever I needed it.
This product did accomplish all the above, but in the end, I purchased two card bus adapters for two of my laptops for ... Read More

I did however get the DLink Xtreme router, and am so far very pleased with it, even though all my ... Read More
