DOES NOT WORK ON A MAC!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave it a low rank so that it hopefully pulls up easy for others. Product might be ok, but BestBuy does not specify system requirements, so I winged it. Bad move.

- Pros mentioned:Size, Speed
Very Good Field Replacement
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off I will say this connected so fast with HP Pavilion that it was almost instantaneous. I couldn't believe it. I was able to connect to the adapter right away without having to add the software or anything. The size of this thing is great as it's not as bulky and doesn't have any wires coming off it like many of the others out there. It seemed to hold the connection speed a bit better then the laptop internal card which helped. The range of the adapter was pretty good as our wireless is all the way on the other side of the office. This would be an excellent field replacement for any nic cards that are going out or for towers that didn't come with wireless stock or if you wanted to upgrade the wireless speed. I have received a free sample from Linksys in exchange for My honest feedback.
