Advantages: Great for browsing, email etc Disadvantages: Poor for gaming
Installation consists of install software from a CD Rom and then Plugging in the dongle to an available USB port. When you compare the netgear software to the default Windows software which it disables, it really does look cheap, something from Windows 95.
