What's great about it: Easy to use, works very well
My wife and I moved our computer to the upper floor of our split level home. Unfortunately, we were unable to move the router so I needed something that could connect wirelessly to our router, which was staying on the lower floor.
I went to Best Buy and an associate suggested this adapter to me since I already had a Netgear wireless router connected to my cable company's router. I plugged the router in, followed the simple installation instructions and was online in minutes. I haven't had any problems with my internet connection. It's as fast as it has always been and I've been able to stream music and videos without a problem. This was a great value and I would recommend it to anyone.

What's great about it: Easy to install, works great with wireless network, can sit on desktop in it's cradle
What's not so great: nothing
Really like my Netgear wireless adaptor. Previously had a Belkin plugged into front of computer and it broke when computer was bumped. This one seems to have a stronger signal and has a cradle on top of the desk to sit in. No worries about bumping it.

What's great about it: The included stand, Price & set up.
What's not so great: Nothing really
I installed it on an older computer that had Win XP and only 384MB of RAM. Set up was good (considering it's Win XP) but the speed was very slow. I upgraded the RAM to the motherboard's max of 1.5GB and it loads pages at a more tolerable rate. The WiFi connection has been very reliable. I use this on a desktop in my basement. The wireless router is in my living room the next floor above me. I recommend it.

What's great about it: stable connection and range
What's not so great: Netgear software not so easy to use
My only advise is to use the windows driver on the installation disk, not the setup wizard. I do not like the netgear software. Windows driver works very well with this product. Just choose the "Windows stand alone driver" which is option 2 on the setup disk and all will be well Works well with XP and above.

What's great about it: Absolutely nothing.
What's not so great: My computer would not work wirelessly.
My computer went nuts when I installed this. I had all kinds of problems as soon as it was installed. Files did not work right. My computer would get a blue screen, and I'd have to reboot. The printer wouldn't work with it either. When I hard wired the computer back to the router, I had no more problems.

This is very easy to use and to install. I sometimes have a hard time keeping connection during bad weather. For the most part it works quite well for us. This is the second one we have purchased for two different desk tops.

I got tired of having an ethernet cable runnig across the room to my desktop, so I picked up this WiFi adapter. Though it's only about 10-15' away from the router, I get a perfect signal with no discernible loss of speed (I'm still running at 15 MB/s). Totally happy with this purchase.

What's great about it: Solid connection
What's not so great: N/A
I had a different usb wireless adapter that started having more and more dropped connections (at least hourly) that required a system reboot to remedy, so I looked into a new one and bought the WNA1100 (N150). It's working great. One terrific feature is that the software tells you the channel numbers of all wireless routers in the area. And guess what - my router was clashing with 4 others. That might explain why I encountered so many drops with my other adapter, but this Netgear - even while using the overloaded channel - never had a dropped connection. My old adapter would probably work fine if I were to try it on a non-congested channel, but its software didn't provide any insight of the occupied channels. This one does that without any extra digging.
I would recommend this to a friend!
