Rating:  - Worked for only a few hours...
I purchased this product for use with my desktop computer (which does not include a wireless card, obviously).
It worked for a couple of hours, as advertised. But it stopped working after the first time the computer was turned off/restarted. The computer would recognize the USB adapter as being plugged in, but the adapter itself refused to recognize any wireless networks in range.

Rating:  - Worked for a couple of days...
i was very happy when i got it being that most other wifi adapters cost twice this much. it worked right after i installed the drivers from the cd that came in the box. after 2 or 3 days it just stopped working. this is more likely a software issue than the hardware because it was solved with a system restore. but behold the next day when it wouldn't connect. i did another restore and it worked but after another day i realized that it was just unusable.
