4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Install, Easy to Use, February 10, 2006

Could not have been easier to install - literally just put the included CD in the drive, and plug the device into your USB 2.0 port. Installed and self-configured in minutes. Very small, light, no additional power cords to worry about, no additional software (beyond the automatically installed drivers) to install - quick and easy. Only issue I found is that the antenna is permanent, so you could never swap for replacement/better antenna like you can on some other wireless NICs.

I have had great success with this adapter. It was very easy to install and use. While the antenna cannot be upgraded, the unit has very good range.
