Good if you have Prime, but shipping came up $8.02 for me. At $14, i'd probably just buy one locally from Fry's or MicroCenter.

BoldIntrepid 02-27-2013 09:49 AM

Yea, the shipping sucks... (I'm not even sure about the quality of the adapter O_o) Not worth it without Prime

Sportsaholic 02-27-2013 09:54 AM

Got one with the last day of my prime membership. Reviews look good - good for backup anyway.

deshwasi 02-27-2013 09:57 AM

got 1 for the nth desktop yet to be built.

invinciblesingh 02-27-2013 10:02 AM

Got 2

kalinrs 02-27-2013 10:05 AM

Thanks, in for 2 :). Next thing I need is some dual band adapters for $6

new_berlin 02-27-2013 10:10 AM

Is this mainly intended for use with 8-10 year old computers that were not "n" enabled? Just curious why people would need such a product.

If you build a new Campuuter, how is it going to be wireless enabled - unless you buy one of those more expensive PCI cards. Very few Motherboards come wireless enabled, even ones intended for HTPC.

I recently purchased a new Dell desktop that came with a wireless card. The desktop is maybe 20 feet max from the wireless router. Would get 3/5 bars, and slow connection. I even had Dell come out and replace it, same thing. I bought a netgear wireless adapter. Full strength. Can max out my advertised download speed.

Emergency. Maybe if wireless craps out on your laptop. Or for a re-located desktop where you don't have ethernet yet.

Oh, I see what you did there. :D

I don't like wireless N adapters they will never be as reliable as a PCI wireless N card. Check reviews, I've never seen a wireless N adapter review without people saying that their PCI card received better wireless range or that this new adapter doesn't have the speed or range of their card.

BrokenVisage 02-27-2013 10:19 AM

Thanks OP!! I was looking for one of these yesterday but didn't like the deals available, this one will do!

slappin 02-27-2013 10:19 AM

If it were 5ghz rather than 2.4ghz i would bite, but 2.4ghz is saturated signal to noise wise where I live. Still TU for those that need a 2.4ghz n adapter.

lnlogauge 02-27-2013 10:19 AM

Does anyone know is this does packet injection?

Packet injection? You can use this device for packet injection provided the software you are using is compatible.

Most Windows-Based networking programs go through the MS networking protocol, meaning no matter what device; wired or wireless should work without issue.

On Linux you might have some difficulty, you'd only need to scan for the adapter and make sure your program is using it.

Yep, no 5Ghz so not buying it.

Mralexander006 02-27-2013 10:27 AM

Good price, but if anyone lives in a wireless-congested area, I recommend getting a 5Ghz adapter instead. I had to buy a second adapter myself because the the first one I bought only worked at 2.4 Ghz and the signal was so bad that I couldn't get my full internet speed (50mbps down).

(of course you need a 5Ghz router for this to make a difference)

Scurbdog 02-27-2013 10:29 AM

got one for back up

csheffernan 02-27-2013 10:32 AM

Anyone know if this would work with Rasperry Pi? I assume not since no mention of Linux drivers.

jom7 02-27-2013 10:32 AM

in for 1. thank you.

exemplar 02-27-2013 10:41 AM

Thanks OP, in 4 2 (not sure why...)

AdiW 02-27-2013 10:59 AM

got one, hopefully it works with my raspberry pi

Wondering exact same thing. Shame my Pi has been on backorder for two weeks. Pulled trigger anyway. =)

YellowFellow 02-27-2013 11:04 AM

yup, bought one and not sure why... I guess I could replace my current desktop usb N but there really isn't a point. My current one may only be 150 but its not like my internet is faster than that anyways but eh why not upgrade to one with 300 Mbps just for the hell of it :/

Found a linux driver at their homepage, so cross my fingers and hope it will work :bounce:

vtswordfish 02-27-2013 11:07 AM

Thanks! Been looking to upgrade the old 150 one i've had for a while since it has become flaky

OhDavey 02-27-2013 11:13 AM

Cool! Just ordered one as a backup too.

Foreveryours 02-27-2013 11:14 AM

Anyone know how this compares to the Cisco AM10?

JuryDuty 02-27-2013 11:15 AM

Nice! Be glad to upgrade one of my spare PCs from a G-stick to an N-stick.

sisq0kidd 02-27-2013 11:16 AM

Thanks! Got 2.

goggles99 02-27-2013 11:17 AM

This thing is very LARGE an obtrusive. If you want a WIFI adapter for a laptop (or any portable device) go for a mini one on eBay for $5. They are all based on RealTek, Atheros, or Ralink chipsets anyway.

ngrshth 02-27-2013 11:21 AM

regular price: $44.95? Am I missing something other than its not 5ghz?

pokymon 02-27-2013 11:25 AM

Sales Tax sucks.

jspicoli 02-27-2013 11:45 AM

I bought one but I have no idea why.

kreene1987 02-27-2013 11:55 AM

Backtrack compatible?

carrucha 02-27-2013 12:13 PM

Just got 3 without issues. 2 for systems needing them and 1 for backup.

$17.97 total, no tax?

If you want to get a Wireless adapter for Pi, you can get this one from Amazon. According to the review, it works perfectly.

I have one of those... has worked great thus far. Range isn't amazing, but form factor is pretty good. Think its 150 though, not 300mbps.

Vasario 02-28-2013 06:08 AM

Amazon has a warehouse in Columbia now apparently, so even with 2 day prime mine is coming today (:D) so I will report back on this tonight.

dadmi 02-28-2013 04:19 PM

Got mine today. Connected with out any issues in windows 8, range looks similar to cheap Tenda PCI card I have. Perfect for backup accessory
