Customer Reviews

No CD from Warehouse Deals, Inc3
I eagerly opened mine, which I ordered from Warehouse Deals, Inc here on Amazon, looked in the setup guide, and the first thing it said to do was insert the installation CD. I looked through what came in the box over and over and over, but there was no such thing. What am I supposed to do? Judging by the other reviews I am sure this product is amazing and wonderful, but, thanks to Warehouse Deals, Inc, I may never know.

Great product5
I bought this adapter for a windows server 2003 machine and it works like a charm from day 1. I just had to install the driver and typed ssid and wep and its on. I have not tested this with WPA but don't think it would have a problem.

On the side note its a little bulky as it hotspot locator feature but overall great product.

Excellent purchase5
By where it want that go I can see the networks you publish and to sail thus by the network. Very easy to install and to use. Very good sensibility. High security.
