Why don't you tell us what you are talking about, if you want people
to respond? Not many people will bother to go to the website just to
check if they've got a particular product, just for your benefit - why
should they bother responding when you have been so lazy?

Chip by Zydas but who actually made it is a mystery.

If used on XP you need to stop windows managing the connect and use the
supplied sofware. In 6 weeks use, with WEP 128, it's dropped out twice but
just replugging has sorted the problem. Signal level is a bit low 60% but
the quality is fine and as I'm only 25ft from the router it's not been a
problem to me.

I paid £24 and still think it was a bargain.

Looks very much like a Binatone Wireless repackaged version of a ZyXel
stick.
As Zydas is made by Zyxel.

Details on the ZyXel stick are here:

But its a lot more than the binatone "repackaged" version at Dabs.

USB stick may be impossible to position for better reception.
USB adapter on end of 1.2m wire is much better in this respect, but of
course not so convenient to carry with you.
