So Small, So Cheap, Yet Works So Well, February 24, 2012

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Got this 802.11n wireless USB adapter for a slightly older laptop that came out just before 11n was standard. The fact it's so tiny means no worries about knocking it out or around when moving the laptop. I was afraid that would mean spotty or poor performance, but that's just not the case. It reports the signal is stronger than with the 11g connection.

Installation was simple. Switched off the internal G wireless, plugged in this tiny adapter and loaded up the software. No issues at all and was up in less than 10 minutes. This was the last non-11n device I had, so now I've locked the router into 11n mode only. The throughput is noticeably faster for all devices - not just the laptop.

Pardon my tech ignorance, BUT, will this allow my downstairs DESKTOP computer to receive WiFi from my upstairs WiFi router?
