This works with no problem at all and he always have a connection. This was bought as a gift for my father's computer. I installed it and configured it (real easy).
It works for basic web surfing (provided the users have administrative permissions to frequently repair the connection), but you won't be able to use it for many administrative LAN tasks (such as copying large files) because the connection drops so frequently. As many reviewers have noted this adapter works but not optimally. I've never gotten it to connect at better than 11 mbps and the connection frequently drops to 1 mbps.
More information on my usage, I'm using this with vista.BEWARE. I would stay far away from this poor excuse of engineering. This product works fine when surfing the web, or watching movies off the internet, eg, from abc, fox, etc.However, when you try to upload to flickr/smugmug, the performance is so spotty, that you would rather strangle yourself than try to use this to upload. It is near to impossible to upload more than 10 photos consecutively.
And im not really sure if is windows comparable. is good but kind of weird. The internet speed keep changing and gets slower.
Really good price, software worked first time and 3 of my wired computers are now wireless. I now have installed 3 of these adapters and they all work as advertised.
