I guess its good for the price...
well this product is some what ok, it says that it is meant for large homes... i have a large home, with the router at one end, and my pc at the other and i get either one or two bars of connection. Im going to convince my parents to let me move here desktop+router downstairs(right under my room) and it will be perfect. With my computer right next to the router, i get AMAZING performance! better than wired connection! If there is a decent length between your pc and the router, this thing is a boss!

Fairly good product for the price
Good product overall - much better signal and reliability than the usb I was using. The antennae on back are close together which makes spanning them out difficult - and the gui interface has VERY limited options. Notwithstanding though I would recommend this product.

Perfect for wireless gaming
I put this in my sister's PC so we wouldn't have to run Cat 5 through the walls. Installation was a snap, and the signal is very good. It actually gets a better signal from across the house than a laptop does sitting right next to the router. The card itself is quite large and feels solid and well built.
