Pros: Neat holder to get the wireless above the desk top

Cons: Terrible setup when compared to Netgear

I bought the Wireless G USB adapter because it can be extended above the desk top to get the wireless signals away from the PC cabinet. Also, the G mod is faster but other than this, I see not other advantages.Con: The software setup is terrible if... you try to use WEP Security. First the type in the instruction book is useless and there is not a good explanation of the security types.Next the Wireless Monitor screen is so tiny that I find it hard to read, very poor. Besides it is very confusing. I still cannot get it to work with 128 bit WEP encryption.In comparison, the Netgear WC111 USB stick was setup in a minute. All of the required setup information is on one big screen. WEP encryption was a snap, very effortless.Overall, pass on this product. Read more Less
