I can't believe how well this adapter works. I bought it for my ASUS netbook... the range on the wireless adapter isn't fantastic and won't work in our basement family room. (the batcave) Even my regular laptop only gets one bar in the batcave, but the netbook couldn't even pick up the signal from my router on the main floor. I tried a Belkin extended range wireless usb adapter. It was no better than the wifi adapter in the netbook and the driver install blew away the setup for the internal router in the netbook without warning. After a quick system restore, I repackaged and returned the Belkin and ordered the GSky with panel antenna. I just installed it in less than 5 minutes with no harm to my existing wireless adapter setup and the range is unbelievable. I am getting all bars (excellent signal) in the batcave. I can't wait to try it downtown to see how many signals I can get now. If you have a basement family room... this is the $20 answer to your problem. The range on this thing is fantastic and so is the price.

I'm an IT pro, and I have to say this a great little adapter. I've bought two of them now, for situations where a little extra reception was needed. Drivers for Windows 7 are indeed available for the Realtek chipset used in this model. Google is your friend!

Hi,

I recently purchased this for my machine after reading that it worked on other Windows 7 computers. Windows 7 did find drivers after doing an automated search online. But whatever drivers it found were terrible, using [...] I was showing less than 0.5Mb/s where my wireless laptop next to me was showing over 10Mb/s. So I decided that I should download new drivers from the manufacturer. I went to [...] and downloaded the driver package there and unrar'ed it and inside was not drivers, but a website proposal for law services. I finally tried installing from the driver CD. At first I got an error saying "Operation System not supported" but Windows informed me that the program didn't install correctly and offered to rerun it with different settings. This time the drivers did install and my download speed went up to where I expected it. It appears drivers for Vista or XP will work fine.
