Before buying this product there were always certain places at home where we lost signal from the wireless router when using the laptop. I have to say I bought this adapter more in hope than anything else, but im very pleased with the results. I can now say that there is nowhere in the house now that we dont get some kind of coverage and the best thing now is I can sit out on the patio and use my laptop. Easy to install too well well done Edimax !

(What's this?)
Tested on?
Compaq C700 Presario note book PC (with inbuilt Wi-Fi turned off)
What does it do? What's it for?
USB dongle for PCs/Macs that don't have inbuilt Wi-Fi to connect to wireless networks.
What's in the box?
· Installation CD.
· USB extension cable with an USB desktop mount/stand (primarily needed for a desktop PC).
· USB Wi-Fi dongle with short aerial.
Installation:
Turned off Wi-Fi on my notebook PC and installed dongle into a USB port. Found New Hardware wizard prompted me for the installation CD with drivers. Inserted CD and followed the prompts. Software couldn't find the driver, so not so easy after all. While I was wondering what to do next, eventually an Ezimax install wizard from the CD started and installation proceeded.
A user manual and quick guide are provided on the CD.
Use:
Scanning for Wi-Fi networks located far more than my inbuilt equipment. Located my network and added my network key and quickly connected. A wireless utility shows network strength, status and signal strength.
Even though I was connected to my network, initially there was no internet access; no e-mail or web browser. A reboot fixed that issue.
Web browsing and e-mail work normally and the signal seems robust. Taking my notebook PC outside wasn't an issue and the signal remained strong and robust.
Uninstallation.
Even though this is a good piece of kit, I didn't really need it on my notebook PC. From control panel I was able to identify the Edi Wireless LAN software and click uninstall. Windows security checked I really wanted to do this and an uninstall wizard did the rest. A reboot was required afterwards.
Conclusions.
Fit for purpose, easy to use and seems to have better reception than inbuilt Wi-Fi LAN cards. Recommended.

(What's this?)
The Edimax is of a higher quality than I'd originally expected; in fact it is quite impressive. The adaptor itself is completely contained within the USB stick and aerial so there's nothing else to clutter your desk or carry around. However, it is also supplied with a smart extender unit which you can place up to 1 metre from your computer to extend the range of the adaptor. Both are made of `iPod white' coloured plastic.
I have been using the Edimax adaptor with a one year old laptop computer which is running on Windows Vista, and a Netgear DG834N router. The laptop has it's own built in wifi too which has allowed me to compare the Edimax against it. Installation was fairly simple following the supplied software cd, and in my viewthe Edimax software is actually better than the standard networking software as supplied with Windows Vista. It gives a far better idea of what's actually happening with your network than Vista does and for that reason I'd recommend installing the Edimax software too.
As far as increased range goes I found that it wasn't massively better (when connected straight into the laptop) than the built in equipment in terms of detecting the signal. The difference does come in making the most of that signal though, which is where the Edimax shines as it maintains a better transfer rate than normally achieved when the signal is weak. It is certainly far better than the other USB adaptors I've tried in terms of performance and also in terms of appearance.
