Garbage
I bought this and returned it 3 days later. It had terrible signal strength and would go in and out connection. When returned they of course could not find a problem with it and charged me a 15% restock fee.... Very disappointed with the product and the service at the London store. Bought a d-link at a different store and it works flawlessly.

Works with most OS
I have two hard drives, one with Windows XP and one with Linux, and it works great with both. It has a problem connecting every once in a while, but for the most part its a great product!

Horrible
Once fully installed and drivers updated, it cannot hold any decent signal, assuming it even stays connected. Would not recommend, go with linksys instead.

Didn't work with Windows 7
I installed the drivers from the CD and then installed the card, just like the manual says. The computer recognized the card, but the Trendnet utility which is supposed to allow you to connect to the network didn't. I went to Trendnet's website and downloaded a new driver, but it didn't help. I finally gave up after an hour. I have since installed a network card of a different brand and it works fine. The Trendnet card was dead right out of the box.
