Advantages: Cheap, connects to routers of all types I have tried Disadvantages: Breaks easily, driver problems in Vista
I had used inbuilt wireless in my laptop (an HP Pavillion tx1000, that I have also reviewed) for two and a half years, until my internal wireless failed and couldn't be easily replaced. I decided to buy an external USB wireless adapter to solve my internet problems, and chose the Belkin Wireless G USB adapter, as other members of my family use them and they are not expensive.
Driver Download

Advantages: Portable, Easy to Use, Inexpensive Disadvantages: None

Overall though, this is a handy little piece of kit to have. My daughter wouldn't be without hers. I also find the fact that is is portable usefull. We have installed the software on all our pcs so all we do is remove the adapter from whichever pc it is connected to and take it to the relevant room where we need to use it. ...
