  In my house, we are cursed with what I believe is the worst internet service in the entire state (we are the furthest from the nearest DSL hub, so we get the slowest connection out of all the customers) and on top of that, we have very thick walls and not the best wireless. If I could fix those issues I would, but I am a tenant and have no such power. So, to ensure I would at least get the best service possible, I bought this little guy. Let me say, WOW! My internet is faster than those closer to the wireless source. It picks up the signal perfectly and is much better than a wireless card (which is what I used before). What makes it really handy is that by using a USB extension cord, you essentially give yourself a highly adjustable antenna. It has helped so much, that I got a different model of the same brand for my boyfriend for a present. He loves it too! Can use the internet on his bad laptop for the first time in a year. This is a great product, try it out!

  I bought this usb wireless adapter to replace the failed one on my HP tx1000 laptop.
  
  This item installs easily & connects well – I connect at between 84k & 124 k at opposite ends & downstairs in a large house. Its distance is limited as you might expect & rarely can i see the neighbors wireless. But for $21.00 it was perfect for me…

  I’m glad to provide a first review for this item. About one year ago, I bought a TrendNet Wireless G PCI adapter for a desktop computer. It was my first experience with the brand and I was very pleased with the quality, compatibility, and ease of set-up.

  I again decided to try another TrendNet product after a successful first experience and am very satisfied with this Wireless N USB Adapter. It was set-up in about 5 minutes, probably less. Using Windows Vista, I installed the software from the CD (as stated in the quick-set-up directions). After the installation, I plugged in the Wireless N USB Adapter, it took about one minute to setup the security on the network, identify, and connect.

  This was all done on a desktop computer. It works great and there is a noticeable difference over the Wireless G. The quality and reliability of their products are outstanding. I was also fortunate to purchase it for about $23 through Amazon.com. I see the price has gone up at least $10 or so, but it’s still a great deal.

  Bought this because I wanted to receive AT&T WiFi from Starbucks about 100 feet from restaurant patio where I breakfast.

  The built in AirPort card in my Powerbook barely connected and often dropped the signal. This Trendnet adapter does much better. Where the AirPort card (barely) found the one AT&T Wireless, the Trendnet is finding at least six signals. The provided short USB extender cable is bendable so it can be used to aim the Trendnet at the WiFi source to get a better signal. I was surprised how much stronger the signal could be made by just a small adjustment in the position of the adapter. Vertical? Horizontal? Left? Right? No problem.

  WARNING: The SPECS are clear. This adapter does NOT receive WiFi on the 5 ghz band where I’ve set my home Airport Express. As there are only a couple of adapters that will even work on Mac, wasn’t much choice for me. But if you have a Windows machine, you might be able to find an adapter which does both 2.4 & 5 ghz.

  The built in AirPort card is much easier to “manage.” This one takes a bit of “twiddling.” Well within reach of anyone who has a computer, but if you’re just terrified of anything that doesn’t work exactly right out of the box, find a friend who can help!

  I bought this in hopes of using it with my Macbook, but does not work. Works great in Windows though. I tried looking for drivers for this particular product, but no luck. The inclusion of the extension cable is the best part. Allows you to move the adapter around to get the best signal or you can just plug it directly into a usb port without the extension. Love the option.

  I purchased this adapter to replace a 802.11g internal card in my PC. I have a Netgear 802.11g router and was hoping that this adapter will give a better coverage and a faster speed. But thats not the case. Although it works fine and doesn’t disconnect like my old card. The next step for me would be to buy a 802.11n router and hopefully that should resolve the speed issue.

  I purchased this for my son whose computer is sitting on the 2nd floor of our house in his room. He had a D-Link 802.11G USB network adapter. Our house has an Apple Airport Extreme wireless router which supports 802.11n.
  
  My son’s signal strength has always been poor in his room, ranging from 2 to 3 bars (out of 5). He plays World of Warcraft regularly and uses Voice over the Internet and has complained regularly of the connection problems he has faced. I saw this on sale during the Black Friday sales and I grabbed it up for his birthday. He was quite happy to see it and he plugged it in, configured it and now has 5 bars of connectivity! Nothing else was changed in his setup or positioning of his computer. I am very happy with this product.
  
  CONS: I would have given it 5 stars if it had a USB base and extension cable like the DLINK has. Instead, this ships with a little 3″ cable to extend the USB port out for this adapter.

  Installation was quick and easy and the price was right. This wireless adapter is worth buying.
