Product Description
Manufacturer's Description

At the same time, CCA technology automatically avoids channel conflicts using its channel selection feature. This product supports 64/128/152-bit WEP encryptions, as well as WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryptions and mechanisms in addition to the adapter's QSS (Quick Secure Setup) feature, allowing users to quickly and easily setup wireless security. This product can also simultaneously operate bandwidth intensive applications such as voice, and video.

It also works well with other 11g and 11n protocol wireless products.

This is an excellent product - really easy to set up and use. The one button click is great to use and takes the hassle out of configuration. Really does have a long range and gives excellent signal strength. Well made and comes with a useful cradle so that it can sit beside the computer rather than sticking out of a USB port. Great value for money and it really does the job!

At time of writing I received a V3 revision of this device (most recent revision at time of order).
One of the reasons for choosing this device was the cradle fitted to a 1.5m cable. Providing ability to move adaptor away from PC/monitor if suffered signal interference.
I downloaded the latest drivers, in advance, from TP-Link website (dated 30 July 2010) instead of using the ones supplied on an 8cm driver CD. And upon installing them I was informed Windows own built-in wireless manager would be used because lack of support for 64-bit operating system by the TP-Link wireless manager (only the driver portion was installed). But I don't consider this a negative.
The wireless strength has range between 3 to 4 bars on average out of a maximum of 5 when connecting to a G router in the same room. Although the router is position the other side of a chimney breast out of line of sight of the adaptor.
Performance has exceeded my expectations playing World of Warcraft. And has not contributed any noticeable latency when compared to a wired connection to router.
The adaptor does get slightly warm when in use, but can comfortably hold it.
The prominent green flashing activity light on the white side may cause distraction, if you position adaptor in field of vision facing you.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I must admit i am impressed with this. I have never had to use a dongle before as I was wired via wireless. Just did up the spare room so moved PC in to it and this was the ticket. So simple to set up and just need to configure it to your wireless and away you go. There does not seem to be much speed loss compared to when I was wired but I think that has to do with the wireless router more than anything. All in all i am happy with this purchase.
