ZOOM 4410 Wireless-G USB Adapter

Advantages: Handy, Cheap, fast
Disadvantages: Protudes out, Get's hot

...I had get one of the wireless adapters for my laptop. I could either go for the pcmia slot, or the usb slot. I opted for the usb version because i could then use it other desktop computers as well. I bought this one for 15 quid and didn't research how good it is before. I had to install the driver and software and then plug it in... and that's it. the internet was working. I tried it with a zoom router and with a belkin router.
