Right, before I start, this is my situation, I live with my student chumbs and we wirelessly share the internet and a printer this is great except for the fact that we live in a big house with lots of electrical items in it. So as you can imagine wireless signal penetration isn't great. For me it became awful - so i bought this device and its works very well.
It is huge and as such picks up more signal, it has improved my network connection from 18mbps to about 54/48mbps.

I run a network suite of 7 computers that link to a central server. I host servers for online multiplayer gaming ranging from First person shooters, simulations and Role Playing Games.
It is important for me to have sufficient network coverage as there is a high bandwidth need. I use a higain wireless device to connect to my servers for admin purposes only. I find that wireless security is better than wired.
I live in a wide covered wireless zone where lots of signals are being sent to and from other wireless devices. Sometimes it can get hard to communicate with other devices as there is too much traffic in the area using a conventional wireless network card.
