What's great about it: Decent range
What's not so great: Slow, Does not reconnect reliably
I intentionally went with the cheapest option available as it is a stop-gap measure, but I'm not sure I got what I paid for. The device states it's an 802.11n device, but I top out at under 2MB/s in synthetic data transfer tests, where other 11n devices sitting right next to this one are hitting 10-15 MB/s. I believe the throughput to be artificially restricted, because I consistently hit 1.99 MB/S from speedtest.net. For reference, I hit 20+ MB/s from my smartphone, 15-18 from a Dell laptop, and 30-50 from hard-wire.
I have also had several instances of my PC not reconnecting properly after waking from sleep. It says the wireless is connected, but that it can't connect to the internet. I'm willing to admit this could be a router issue, but it sure seems to happen more often with this device than it does anywhere else.
Ultimately it is working though, and I have not had range/obstruction related issues. The router has moved around to different places in my home, from the next room over, to up a floor and down the hall, and it doesn't seem to have any problem with that.
For my needs it's fine, it will be thrown away within 3 months of ownership. As a permanent solution, look elsewhere.

This device worked perfectly fine and after just a few days cannot connect to the internet. Please HELP!!!

I have had intermittent connectivity issues as well. I'm not sure if my connection issues are the same as yours, but for me what has worked was removing, then replacing the dongle. Disconnecting/reconnecting to the wireless network has not worked for me.
