EDIMAX EW-7711USN High Gain Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 150Mbps Wireless Data Rates WPA2 EDIMAX EW-7711USN High Gain Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 150Mbps Wireless Data Rates WPA2

Pros: Install on Win 7 was pretty simple

Cons: When installed on the rear of the computer was only getting B to low G speeds (13-33Mbps) installed it in the front port and achieved G speeds (53Mbps), but no higher, and network is set to N only? my PCIE card by contrast gets full N speeds 130Mbps. It is a pain having this giant antenna stick out of the front of my computer to get it to even work halfway decent. you;d think for a so-called "high-gain" antenna it would work from the back of the computer where it can be "hidden"

Other Thoughts: very disappointed in this product as it is not even as strong as the G USB adapter it replaced. (Rosewill) may end up sending it back and get a PCIE card instead

Pros: So far, so good. It replaces a house brand broadcom card in a client's computer. Working well on a different floor and through a few walls.

Cons: It installed Google Chrome without permission. No checkbox, no notification, just installation of Chrome. Regardless of the opinion of the browser, that's low.

Pros: Plugged it into my Win7 64bit and it automatically installed itself and started working. I did have my computer hardwired with a network cable at the time so I'm not sure if I would've had the same success without having it already plugged into the internet. Also has a good signal range.

Cons: none

Pros: Works well, excellent signal strength compared to it Best part was the Edimax support.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Had trouble installing at first, contacted Edimax support via email. In two email exchanges they correctly identified my problem as ZoneAlarm. With Zonealarm uninstalled, the Edimax adaptor installed flawlessly. Now, with ZoneAlarm re-installed everything is working great.

Pros: plug in, install drive and it works
pretty fast

Cons: not the strongest signal if its just sitting on the computer on top of my desk
USB extension cable is a little short but I can find my own later. if i get a longer cable then i can wire it to my bookshelf for better signal

abysmally ugly and ruins my color scheme of my set up completely. wish it was black.

Pros: Plug n' play with windows 7. Good overall signal strength. USB extension cable helped get the best signal...

Cons: None at this time.

Other Thoughts: I would buy another of these if needed.

Pros: This is the fourth wireless adapter I've bought from Edimax and the best so far. Plugged it in and away it went on my new machine.

Cons: No problems so far

Other Thoughts: Intel i5 2500
ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 motherboard
EVGA GTX 560 Ti 448 core video
8Gb Crucial ram
running Windows 7 64 bit

Pros: Easy setup. Can be run on a USB extension - I have my laptop in a metal cabinet and the antenna on a pole 5 feet above the cabinet. Very cool software comes with it. Increased my WiFi speed on my b/g notebook. Very cool. Luv it.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: As always - NewEgg shipping is sooper fast.

Pros: I do not like to install the 3rd party software. So I plugged it in and was able to load the driver from the disk on a xp machine with any 3rd party wireless manager. The shell shocker deal was to good to pass up.

Cons: None Really

Other Thoughts: Wait for the shell Shocker. It is a steal.

Pros: Works great for me.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Should have purchased more at this price.
