TRENDnet TEW-424UB Wireless G USB AdapterStrengths: Price Weakness: Utility, No native Linux driver It works well after standard installation and configuration. No signal drop issue observed. The included utility is a little skinny, but works anyway. It is based on ZyDas ZD1211 chipset. There is no native linux at this time. If you need linux support, ndiswrapper + WinXP driver are your best bet. Overall, good product for the price.

TRENDnet TEW-424UB Wireless G USB AdapterStrengths: Excellent reception, sturdy, and cool looks. Weakness: Sticks out, but not a problem on desktops I'm using this on my desktop in favor of the PCI solution because I needed the extra PCI slot and also because I had driver conflicts with the netgear 802.11g pci card in windows xp. Despite its size, it picks up more signal than even my notebook's builtin solution. Plus it's cheap! Driver installation was also painless and I'm relying on windows xp's built-in wireless manager to do most of the...

Cheap and affordable and long lasting...still havent have any trouble. Might be less strong in terms of reception than those internal PCI card with athenna but...

TRENDnet TEW-424UB Wireless G USB AdapterStrengths: Inexpensive. Excellent reception and generally good throughput. Weakness: Poor documentation. Drivers and wireless utility both not the best. No Linux support for this chipset. As mentioned above this is an inexpensive, good performer. It outperformed several laptops with built-in wireless antennas, in both reception and throughput, on a mixed mode 2.4 ghz network. It could be an excellent buy for a windows user with some proficiency installing hardware. The all-in-one USB design is also very nice for certain applications requiring remote antenna placement with minimal...

TRENDnet TEW-424UB Wireless G USB AdapterStrengths: Easy wireless connection for both desktops and laptops. Weakness: Doesn't retain profile settings. As an inexpensive, portable wireless connection, this is exactly what I needed in my "bag of tricks" when trying to help people with their computers. However, the drivers as shipped (and the latest ones I was able to download) have shortcomings that may be addressed in the future. First, when using this adapter on a Windows 98 desktop, removing the hardware caused a blue screen, yet the device...

TRENDnet TEW-424UB Wireless G USB AdapterStrengths: Strong Signal, compact design Weakness: Difficult to configure and install I purchased this after my PCI card went and have been pleased overall. After the initial setup (which was a little difficult) the product has worked flawlessly.

TRENDnet TEW-424UB Wireless G USB AdapterStrengths: cheap & good signal strength Weakness: Outlook(kinds of big) This one works fine. For this price(I got it for about $8 after rebates), you cannot expect a better one than this. I don't like its design and size. The sign strength is good, but it is not very stable.

Worked for 4 days total, Terrible Customer Service
Strengths: It worked okay for a few days
Weakness: It failed after 4 days of moderate use, the complete LACK of customer service, and it ran REALLY hot
I purchased this as a backup to PCI wireless cards for my work. Had occasion to use it last week, where it worked okay for a few days (signal reception was far from great, but not bad either). I'd noticed that it was running REALLY hot and tried to make sure the computer was the least used and suspended when not in use. To no avail, the item died a couple of days later. I sent email to their CS...
