This review is from: TRENDware 11MBPS WIRELESS USB ADAPTER ( TEW-229UB ) (Personal Computers)

I needed an easy way to add a couple old towers to my home network. This product filled the bill. Small, inexpensive, and easy to add wireless capabilities to some old machines without having to crack the cases.

Be sure to follow the instructions carefully -- install the software and drivers off the CD before attaching the adapter to your USB port. But otherwise, everything works like promised.

The product comes with an A-B USB extender cable, and its all packaged nicely. For a product at this price point, I would have expected corners to have been cut, but I saw none.

I highly recommend this product.
