This is great for anyone who needs thier signal boosted, or dosnt have an internal Wifi adapter. I really love the meter long external USB stand. I work in a large condominium building and picking up wifi can be tricky in my location. Ever since buying this product, I have mobility with the extension stand. It definatly boosts my signal and has great connectivity. Lets face it: Not all laptops have the best internal Wifi. (even mine). I have a great PC, but this tool helps me get a connection and stay connected.

The Good - Extension cord comes with it so you can position device for best reception possible. Ive seen pretty high transfer speeds. the bad - overheats/overloads quite easily. If you run a torrent program for instance and get too many connections.. it just overloads and loses connection. I find myself unplugging the device and replugging it in to have it re-detect the wireless signal quite often....even just regular web browsing. This happens on xp,vista and win 7 and connecting to a linksys router. I do keep my pc on 24/7 so that may have something to do with it. Id think maybe I just got a bad device but to be honest.. every linksys product Ive owned seems to have problems,, be it a laptop card or whatever.. Its really quite aggravating actually. I think this might be my last linksys product I buy.

I had a lot of problems getting my wireless network to work. The fault was mine rather than the product. However, the support provided by Linksys was available any time I needed help and the various people assisting me the numerous times I called provided EXCELENT assistance. I would recommend a Linksys product just for the support they provide.
