What a great product
Just received this morning. All set up within 5 minutes, well impressed with it. It's connected to my Netgear DG834G, and I'm using Vista.

As a tip, the disc comes with old drivers, so I went to the Edimax website, and navigated through to download the Vista drivers. Without plugging it in, I then ran the Vista installer, which seemed to not be doing much for a good 2-3 minutes. After that, you'll see an icon for it in the system-tray.

Right-click that, and open the configuration tool. Scan for your network, add in the key (I use 128bit) and hey presto. The connection is as fast, if not faster, than my the wired ethernet connection i used previously. My desktop is about 10meters away from the router, and I'm getting 100% link quality. Very very impressed. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Edimax EW-7318USG Wireless USB LAN Adapter 4dBi Antenna, 802.11b.g 54Mbps
The translation in the guidebook might not be the best but the instructions are clear and logical. I had no problems loading the software and following the on screen prompts. The adapter was up and running within 10 minutes, which included optimising it for increased performance.

It has replaced a Netgear WG111T and performs much better. As well as the aerial, which genuinely works, there's also a cable that allows you to move the adapter to further improve the signal if necessary.

For the price this product offers great value for money.
