I plugged it into my 3 year old XP machine, and it worked perfectly within five minutes.
The speed fluctuates some, from 15 or 18 all the way up to 50, but that's more likely to be influenced by your position/router than the USB dongle.
I was worried about buying one of these, but I'd recommend this as a brilliant and cheap way to bring wireless to your desktop.

The reviews of this product suggested it would be problem-free, easy to use and install. They were right!!!!!
I am by no means a computer wizard nor am I a luddite but I generally find the level of service/product in the computer industry tends to be, at best, very variable. Although the reviews were very favourable for this product and were the main reason that I selected it, I was still more than a little nervous about installation etc. My fears were unjustified, as one reviewer said the 'definition of 'plug 'n play'. Simplicity itself. If you need one of these gizmos then you colud do a lot worse than this little chap.

This is, undoubtedly, the best wireless USB adapter I've had the honour of using.
You simply plug it in; plop in the CD; and XP picks it up automatically and installs it. Done and dusted in under 2 minutes. All that's left after that is for it to pick up the network - which is instant - and connect to it. I was pleasantly surprised when I was presented with a 5-bar signal; full connectivity; considering a) there are three walls and various other wireless products seperating my computer from my router, and b) my previous PCI adapter (the Netgear WG311) could only fish up two bars and kept producing fluctuating speeds.
I've had nothing but good from this adapter, running on XP Pro SP2. Best signal I've ever had; no connection drops; handles multiple downloads well; visually attractive; truly plug'n'play; and last but certainly not least... it works!

Good
Works great, shame they can't make it less in length though as it can be a bit 'wobbly' due to this.Otherwise good though.
