 Great - but make sure drivers up to date July 13, 2008
Dr. R. A. Macgregor (UK)
Got this and it appeared to work fine but had issues with the speed of my Wifi connection going from 6 Mbps to 700 kps within minutes of connecting. Finally identified the problem as the wifi card and found that a new driver had just been released (I'd installed the newest driver three weeks before) - once I'd installed that the bottle necking appeared to stop (NB Power optiopns can also have an affect - make sure you have Vista set for "High Performance"). Since then it has been great - the aerial really does allow you to fine tune the connection - and it also comes with a USB extender cable for further flexibility. I'm going to buy a second one for my other PC.
Works wonderfully with linux July 8, 2008
Bob G (Belfast, UK)
I bought this item to use with Ubuntu 8.04. My existing linksys usb lan adapter didn't always work very well and would sometimes take 20mins to get online.
This little gem worked straight out of the box without loading any drivers. In short it is fully compatible with Ubuntu. As a bonus it will also extend the range of your equipment. The signal strength registered about twice as strong as my previous linksys.
It is also very cheap. So if you are having hardware problems with your linux box wireless lan then this may turn out to be a very economic lifesaver ,no more fiddling with ndiswrapper etc.
By the way it also works very well with windows.
Edimax EW-7318USG + FEDORA June 8, 2008
AMAZON (Glos. UK)
Bought this not very expensive adaptor to use with the free Tiscali Siemens router.
Installation into XP took minutes and worked without problems. After reboot into Fedora Linux there it was again - no installation required - brilliant. It works fine with no drop outs from downstairs to upstairs diagonally thro a brick wall in the first 2 weeks. For this money I did not expect success at all. Very impressed and would advise you to give it a go if you have this set up.
so good i bought another June 7, 2008

I needed a wireless adapter to run my pc (upstairs) from my netgear router (downstairs), firstly i purchased a more expensive netgear rangemax as it was the same make as the router and i thought it would'nt have any compatability issues............wrong!!!!!
this piece of crud is not worth diddly and over an hour on the phone to netgears useless tech support only confirmed this.
Still left with no internet and encouraged by the favourable reviews, i purchased this little beauty and bingo, i have 100% throughput and (so far) have not lost my connection once.
As i have an older pc that runs XP (the 1st is vista) i got another and once i had assigned it a different i.p because it automatically clashed with the first this to is faultless.
Great product.

This works with Vista, but you will need to download the Vista drivers from their website before you unwire your original set up, or get them from another PC and save them onto a memory device. Once installed, it is faultless. It has never lost conection, starts immediately and the speed is what it should be. I had the Belkin, waste of money, time and skin off my for head due to butting the wall in frustration. DO NOT BUY BELKIN.
Trust in someone you have never seen before and buy this piece of equipment, you will not regret it.
