    I bought it because I live a mile from the store. It installed quickly and worked well but I believe it was overpriced.

    Worked really well for a few months and then the signal got very unstable. Thankfully I finally moved into a house that I could run a new direct line to the PC so I didn't have to use this anymore. Was shocked it didn't last very long (3 months tops). Definitely a terrible value. Go get a PCI wireless card instead!

    This thing worked great when I got it. 3 weeks later it started dropping it's reception regularly. I am going to take advantage of the protection plan I bought for it.

    Almost impossible to follow the directions for set up, and then it did not really help with my intermittent internet service problem. When I talked to a customer service person later, he suggested it was not a good solution to my problem.

    It worked fine for about a month and then stopped working all together. The program would not opemn once the problems started and it stopped locating the network. Whne it worked it was great. Tried this and the Netgear powerline 1000 and both have had problems.

    USB - WIFI mini adapter

    We went with this NETGEAR WiFi adapter because it was NETGEAR, and it would be a quick, easy install. We’ve always had good luck with NETGEAR products, they are typically very reliable and priced competitively. This time it did not hold true. I needed to be able to stream 4 of the local hockey teams away games over the course of two weeks for a large group of fans. Lasted for 3 games, just stopped working mid-way through the 4th game. Very disappointing!
