I bought this at outpost.com a couple of months ago. It is very
convenient and works as expected. If your USB ports are very close to
each other, this will make adjacent USB ports unusable due to its size.
However, it comes with a cable. If you use the cable, there is no issue
with the space.
My router is D-Link and I have enabled WEP. This works fine with my
current setup.
Sometimes when I restore my computer from standby or hybernate mode,
the network is not recognized right away. Given enough time (few
seconds to a minute), I suspect that it will work. I get restless and
force the connection (via a few easy mouse clicks). I have absolutely
no problem with that - but the expectations of my family members are
higher than mine.
The distance between the router and this device is considerable in my
setup (router stays upstairs in a room). It used to drop connections
very often when used with one of my computers. I moved it to another
computer now and it works very well. Both these computers are
downstairs.
Over the time, I have come to like this product very much and it work
well.
