Customer Reviews

It works but...
It works but when I boot my mac mini i have to unplug and plug back in the stick. It does not recognize automatically. It's clearly a sw error. Interface is not so good too.

Mac OSX Support
Great for those of us Mac users needing to get off of 802.11G WiFi and onto 802.11N. Now that my iBook G4 is on draft-N, I finally get to utilize 802.11N speeds/range that I paid for when I bought my Airport Express. Being the only 802.11G device on my network, my iBook G4 used to drag the entire network down to G speed


PROS:
-OSX support, though download the latest drivers.
-Included stand/dock.
-Software install was relatively painless

CONS:
-Abnormally large for a USB WAN adapter and I'm thinking that's part of the reason why they included the stand/dock.

it does the job
ok, so it works. yes, it works.... BUT...it could use a couple updates for some glaring issues. i found that if i restart my computer that device does not reset, so once my computer has booted up i need to unplug and plug back in the stick. DRAG! also, the software interface is SOOOOO bad, ugly and clunky. YES, it does work, but really...clean it up!!! it does not need to look so 1992. one last thing about the software interface, it could benefit from an icon on the toolbar or something showing signal strength/connectivity...also maybe could be a software way to reset stick instead of unplugging it all the time. BUT... IT DOES WORK. so if you need something like this, it does the job. just clunky.
