 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.
superb bit of kit - average it guy May 26, 2008

excellent bit of kit, especially when you turn it into a uni directional antenna on freeantennas.com using tin foil and cardboard!
i get a 45% signal from my friends which is across the road and about 75 metres away, it picks up most signals around the street, and when using a usb cable extension, you can literally position it where ever you want.
and speeds are very fast, on bbc iplayer i was getting 600-700 kbps based on a network stretched out for 75 meters using a bog standard netgear router on aol adsl up to 8 meg. enough said really
Excellent - truly Vista compatible May 10, 2008

Bought this little beauty because having upgraded to a snazzy new Quad-Core Dell Vista PC, my previous Netgear WG111T adaptor failed to stay connected for more than 5 mins - despite installing the so-called Vista drivers for that device.
But this does the job. Okay, you have to download Vista drivers again because the CD only goes as far as XP, and I have to say the download of 30MB was dismally slow - nearly an hour - but once installed, perfect. I'm still connecting to my faithful Netgear router, by the way.
Despite the price being about half that of the Netgear, this adaptor is well made and I think should give me years of service now.
Great!
New comment! Have to praise this adaptor even higher! Based on the reviews read here and a bit of research, I've realised that these adaptors (or at least adaptors using the same chipset) are supported automatically by several Linux distributions. So, I tried mine on an oldish PC I'd put together from bits but running the latest 'Hardy Heron' issue of Ubuntu. Lo, it worked fine without installing any extra drivers. It even works from the Ubuntu CD boot on other machines I've tried.
