Pros: easy to install, and it works fine on USB 1.0 port, not 2.0
Cons: LED lights are on underside of adapter, so they are not visible, as this is the only way it will go into the USB port
Overall Review: OK overall, it enabled me to quickly add network capability to an older desktop with no available slots for a card
