Unfortunately i feel the above reviewers must be feeling quite differently about this item - the well documented overheating problems have hampered this usb wireless stick from functioning properly. If you don't believe me just look it up on google - such a shame from a company that makes (normally) great products.

Great adapter which worked out of the box. Of note, the cradle may prevent adequate connection. If you do not see a blue light once you have connected you usb device, it is probably that the connection is not tight. Just chuck the cradle.

Very good product! I bought this under advice from a network consultant. Without a doubt it does everything they said it would and more. I have it hooked to a computer on the first floor of my apartment building, ( my router is on the third floor) and the signal is always excellent. Highly recommended!
