    Hello Guys!

    I just wanted to spread the word about this amazing little piece of wonder that I came to know not so long ago. Just to back up a little I have always had problems with my WIFI connection. Prior, to this, I was using the Dell 1515- N and could never break the 25 Mbps barrier even though I had a 50 Mbps connection provided by the ISP. I tried many things, played around with the settings, the router, the internal adapter and yes I tried moving around my room. Nothing worked. I figured I might as well get an external adapter and see if that makes a difference and to my surprise it did. Now I am consistently connected at 270-300 Mbps with a very strong signal, bear in mind that my router is 2 rooms away on a lower level. I would recommend anyone who is having issues with their speeds/connection to try this adapter. In Canada I bought it for $30 before taxes, which is quite good considering a lot of the other options out there. I would definitely recommend that you try out an adapter first before shelling out a $100 on a new router. I am happy to report my average speeds these days on wireless:
