"Gets crazy hot!"
So far, works pretty well. The utility that comes with it sometimes acts flaky, and doesn't start or doesn't connect right away.
For this type of solid-state device, it gets incredibly hot! Almost too hot to touch! Given that, probably not going to last long.
The range is ok, nothing special. Of course, the greatest thing about these is the price.

"Recommend you do research for older, low-ram computers"
I rarely do reviews, but considering the difficulties I have had and the headaches that may occur for someone in a similar situation to mine I decided to add my own two cents.

For starters, I'd like to throw out a general complaint to all the main wireless USB network adapters, i.e. Linksys, D-link, Belkin, Trendnet, Netgear, etc. None of them seem willing to specify system requirements other than operating system. For those of us trying to get older systems to work, this is a huge hassle. While some adapters may work for older systems, the version number of those adapters (rather absent in most if not all documentation) might not. So if it says it supports older operating sytems, make sure it supports the amount of ram (if you have low ram).

My problem is that I needed version 2.0 of this adapter, which is shown on the page, yet whenever I ordered I received version 3.1R. My old laptop only has 128 MB of ram and any version higher than 2.0 apparently only supports 256mb RAM or more. Amazon needs to change the picture or be more specific on which version you will receive.

I am sure that Trendnet, or any other mainstream adapter will work for the system that it supports. So, again, this review is more a criticism of how the product is advertised than how it functions.

"A little funky, but well worth the money"
I'm very happy with this purchase. It works like it should and it was one of the cheapest out there. Now let's hope it doesn't die on me within half a year or so....

Pros: Cheap, Good range (through 2 walls), NOT ONCE disconnected in 2 weeks + use, works like a charm

Cons: wide form factor (might prevent you from accessing USB slots next to the one being used), low quality workmanship, status LED too big (possibly leading to extra heat?)
