Conclusion:

I was expecting the USB adapter to perform alright, but didn’t think that it would be able to stack up to a PCI adapter. But I learned a lesson doing this review. Don’t let appearances fool you. This little power house performed very well. As I alluded to earlier, I feel that the reason for its success is explained by its portable nature. The USB option allows you to place the adapter higher than the standard PCI card hence getting better reception. Heck, you could even place it anywhere you wanted via a USB extension. I feel that this flexibility is what enabled it to perform better in this review.

Would I recommend it for purchase? Yes. This review again proved my preconceptions wrong. Though USB adapters sometimes have a bit of a bad name, Trendnet has made an adapter that obviously can perform just a well if not better than a PCI adapter. Also the fact that you can move it around a lot easier than a PCI card makes it the preferred choice for anyone on the move.

Pros:

• Affordable
• Small and Portable
• Flexible Positioning

Cons:

• None
