REVIEWS:
1) Wireless router connection: I am extremely pleased with this connector.
I have a children"s computer that is now able to connect to the Internet because of this connector.
With all the Children"s games on the Internet, it keeps the kids busy.
2) Always Losing Network; Flimsy: This TRENDnet wireless usb adapter is terrible. I just got a linksys wusb54g today. This "TRENDnet" is flimsy. You can actually bend the USB plug, and sometimes the plastic case comes loose. It is always dropping the connection, it looks cheesy, and the blinking light is annoying.
3) works ok but stops abruptly: works ok but stops abruptly and then needs disconnection and reconnection for restarting the application. gives a good speed. comes with a small extension cable.
4) TrendNet Adapter: Seems to work well so far...extends the range of wifi to my laptop. The adapter is larger than the pictures. It seems rather fragile, that it would bend or be damaged if the laptop is not on a flat surface.
5) keeps loosing the network: i bought this to use in my newly upgraded desktop with windows vista. it CONTINUALLY drops the wireless signal (at least every hour) - when you click to connect to a network it does not find any networks. pulling it out and pushing it back in seems to recover the network almost every time, but this is really annoying to have to do repeatedly. it is not a signal strength issue in general, as another desktop in the same room and two laptops that frequent the room have no trouble getting good signals.
