Pros: This adapter works much better (less connection problems) than some high power adapters I have with larger antennas.  My access point is a mile  away, and I get great connection with this card (under linux)
The device for me is ra0, not wifi0, it is a different chipset from many cards.
 
Cons: Not many, cannot set the tx power under linux, but apparently I get great reception reguardless.
 
Other Thoughts: I use a usb extension cable so I can mount it high up above my netbook.
 
Bottomline: Get a few of these, it is the best usb wifi adapter I have (even including $30 and $40 units)

Very good product

Pros: fantastic quality, built really well, 80% signal strength with 2 walls in between the pc and the router. Very happy with this and would recommend to anyone.
 
Cons: Could be a little smaller, but thats hardly a con when it is in the back of the pc and cannot be seen.
 
Other Thoughts: great quality unit, not the cheapest on DX but i reckon this would be better then anything around the same price bracket.
 
Bottomline: get it if you need a wireless usb adaptor with very good signal strength. Much better then an internal pci adaptor.

Works great

Pros: Build quality is surprisingly good. The adapter feels well built and has a good finish. Detachable antenna is a plus. Well supported chipset, works out of the box on my Ubuntu setup. No connection problems at all during my month of ownership.

Cons: It's a bit big, on my PC it obstructs four USB-ports if I connect it directly. Had to use a short extension cable to be able to use the other ports.

Other Thoughts: I bought this specifically for use with Linux and I'm not disappointed.

Bottomline: Very good value for money. Not the smallest, but I don't care when it works as well as it does.

good stuff

Pros: quick shipping ( less than 12 working days overseas). dongle look well build, standard antenna, tried with ubuntu linux= 2 second to have connection. signal very strong .
good price
 
Cons: n/a
i think that it a very good stuff
very good furst expiriance with dealextarem
 
Other Thoughts: didn't check distance but signal is 100%. think to buy more dongles
 
Bottomline: good acquisition. good service. free shipping overseas
the linux option is very important ' others dongles don't have always this facilities.
i hop to have this satisfaction with future acquisition
