I had ordered a mini wireless USB adapter for 33 dollars thinking it was cheaper than the most.It did not work, it detected 2 connections and the quality of signal was bad.I was not able to go online with that adapter.I returned it and looked for a cheaper but more useful alternative.I found this after reading about Alfa antenna adapters.Alfas were more expensive (30-40 dollars) and I did not want to spend that much because I did not want to have a costly non-functioning adapter.I wanted to give this a chance instead since it was 12.99.If it did not work, it was no big deal.
WOW! It does work great.While the previous adapter detected only 2 networks, this detects 5-6 networks and the signal quality is good (60-80%.It stays connected at a decent speed.
I highly recommend this adapter for people who need more and reliable reception at a value price.
The only possible disadvantage of this adapter is its antenna protrusion.If you have preschoolers like I do, they might bump into it and break it.Apparently you can not have it all (perfect reception+ultra-compact design+good price) at once.
So far I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks to Amazon (for free super saver shipping) and the vendor.

This is a great product. Realtek has been for long time a great network interface card’s chip provider. The chip on this device is indeed Realtek. This product provides good signal detection and seamless and stable connection. In order to achieve this, on Windows XP, DO NOT INSTALL program provided by the companion miniCD’s autorun. Instead, plug the device and when Windows new hardware wizard ask for drivers use manual search. Then insert the miniCD and point to the correct directory on the CD according to your operating system. For Windows XP there’s a folder named WinXP (:WinXP). Then let the hardware wizard install the device from there and it will use built-in Windows Wireless Connection Manager. This is far easier to use than vendor’s software provided which is aimed at a very low control level (not for the average user).
Big directional antenna is a plus on this device. It’s cheap and works like a dream. Poor documentation and inadequate default management program (they should have just let Windows handle everything from the start), but you can sort this out easily.

Came with a CD of drivers for Mac/WindowsXP/Vista, but I was able to find the Realtek 8187 WLAN driver for Windows 7 on the Realtek website and changed the Device Manager settings with Windows Update. Worked pretty well so far and at a great price!

I discarded the mini-disc that came with the installation drivers for this product. I downloaded a Windows 7-enabled driver from the Realtek website. Turns out I needn’t have bothered – Windows Update pulled the same driver automatically, which made the signal strength booster truly a “plug & play” device.
I instantly noticed a marked improvement in my wireless signal. Before installation, I had one bar of signal strength. Afterwards, I have between 4 and 5 bars – never less than 4 bars. Definitely worth the $12.99.
The only gripe I have is that the plastic surrounding the USB connection renders the device unusable with my laptop’s USB port. A cheap USB extender cable fixed the problem – but now I need to rig up a mounting solution on the back of my laptop monitor. A minor inconvenience, really, for such an improvement in my signal strength.
