I tried this out for several days. It did display more hotspots, but I was unable to connect and get (reliable if at all) access to the internet. Anyone with same experience?
I got this for a friend last week (because of SD!) and she said it displays LESS access points than with her built-in laptop wireless thing (she has a Lenovo G770 with all standard components). Did I gift her something that's not very compatible with her laptop, or this product is overrated?
Evi1d33d: I've used this adapter for a year now and though you can see a lot more wifi spots but you are not guaranteed that you can connect to them. I actually got slower connection speed compared to my internal wifi card on my netbook on a particular wifi spot. This adapter is popular with hackers but it's not particularly good for everyday use.

I'm not sure why these kits aren't more popular, or why they're sold out/not in production.
Here is a comparable 'looking' model:

Something else worth mentioning. This wireless adapter also supports configuration as a wifi AP/hotspot, effectively turning your desktop/laptop into a wireless repeater! Cheaper than using a software solution like Connectify (which only works w/ Windows 7 anyway).
Nope, you have to buy a ridiculously marked up "XBOX 360" adapter.
Recommended: Works as advertised ... there's even some smarts in it: seems to automatically pickup and connect to any open network when connecting in a new location ... makes it seem like an instant internet machine
also someone asked if this works with Wireless-N AP - it will but many times it will downgrade the connection speed for all other wireless devices connected. EG. You can have 3-4 wireless-N devices connected and getting those upgraded speeds, when this G client connects the other N clients will be downgraded (although they will not suddenly become G clients).
If you are having signal problems, this is great. If you need wireless for a PC or the like this should be great as well. Depends on what you need it for.
