Edimax EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless 11n Nano Size USB Adapter with EZmax Setup Wizard

Got this 802.11n wireless USB adapter for a slightly older laptop that came out just before 11n was standard. The fact it's so tiny means no worries about knocking it out or around when moving the laptop. I was afraid that would mean spotty or poor performance, but that's just not the case. It reports the signal is stronger than with the 11g connection. Installation was simple. Switched off the internal G wireless, plugged in this tiny adapter and loaded up the software. No issues at all and was up in less than 10 minutes. This was the last non-11n device I had, so now I've locked the router into 11n mode only. The throughput is noticeably faster for all devices - not just the laptop.

I picked up a five year old MacBook that works great but the WiFi reception with the built-in Airport was terrible. I had to be within 5ft. of my home router, and I never saw 100% signal. I popped this little thing in and followed the downloadable manual for Mac, because the supplied installation disk is mini-size and won't work in Macbooks. My signal instantly jumped to 98-100% everywhere in my small house, upstairs and down. I'm amazed! Super small, so it doesn't block the other USB port. It made my laptop useable all around the house, and that's all that I wanted.
