These are G adapters, NOT N adapters

These adapters only connect at 54 Mbps, which is the data rate of Wireless G. If they were Wireless N, they would connect at 150 Mbps. Unfortunately I didn't read all the reviews of this adapter before purchasing it as some other buyers reported an issue with 54Mbps/G data rates and not N. To be honest the adapters are fairly easy to install and all work well, but they are definitely NOT N adapters as advertised. Build quality is good, signal strength between the adapters and my new Medialink is excellent - Wireless N Router - 802.11n - 150Mbps - 2.4GHz - NEW design with internal antenna O Mini CD with drivers; The ones I got only have 3 directories for Linux, Mac and Windows. There is only one .EXE file in the Windows directory for driver installation and one ReadMe file. The .EXE file allows you to install just the driver or the driver + the RALINK setup program / network management program. Ralink's setup software isn't very intuitive, so I uninstalled it and just installed the drivers and let Windows XP take care of the connection. Anyway - the 3 adapters I bought are going back to Revain as I already have the G adapters and wanted to replace the N adapters. She. Luckily, Revain has a very easy return process/option and I don't have to pay for return shipping. Kudos to Revain on that one.
