This adapter was a breeze to install on a Windows 7 machine. For simplicity I only installed the driver. I use the Windows utility to operate things with no issues. As an IT professional and an RF engineer, I rate this device a good value and a safe purchase. As-is, it performs much better than the internal adapter on my new, brand-name laptop. The antenna can be replaced with a separately purchased high-gain unit to further extend the range. Hawking Technology describe their products fairly, without over-doing it with mostly meaningless terms like "high-power" and "long-range". Beware some of those cheap USB adapters offering high output power. It's difficult to build reliable RF amplifiers that perform that well, have low self-jamming noise, fit into a tiny enclosure, and still cost only a few dollars to make. Something has to give. Look at what the reputable brand-name adapters are doing for the same price, and don't expect much more from anyone else. What you may get is something that will fail quickly or that really doesn't deliver as promised (based on my experiences with many of these adapters). If you just want a decent wireless adapter at a good price with the ability to attach a high-gain antenna, this is a good choice.
