I have another USB wireless receiver that is much larger.

I have another USB wireless receiver that is much larger and bulkier. Star Tech doesn't bother my laptop but has less range but works great 90% of the time.

Pros
  • network adapter
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Linux drivers are broken

I bought this for a Linux set top box that needs a network connection. I downloaded their drivers from their website for this article and followed the instructions. After three rounds of tech support, they keep asking for more information, not just saying "bring it back" or "this port doesn't actually work with Linux".

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great USB Wireless Adapter

Very easy setup after downloading the drivers. The disc that came with the drives was defective. On a positive note, tech support was very responsive and directed me to a link where I could download the necessary files in a zipped file. works perfectly. The interface for viewing wireless networks available for downloading a password and saving profiles is much better than the one I used before (Netgear). and so much less that I no longer worry about getting hit and breaking the connector on it…

Pros
  • USB Network Adapter
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
