Cheap, but overheats

It usually disconnected after a few minutes of heavy use, such as torrenting, streaming a movie from Hulu, or uploading a heavy amount of data to my server; sometimes it would disconnect randomly.
Pros:
  • It was cheap
  • and "just worked" when I plugged it into my Ubuntu laptop
Cons:
  • At random times, the card would disconnect and not re-associate with the AP
  • To get back on the wireless network, I'd have to unplug the adapter, and then plug it back in.

Wireless reception mediocre 6 / 10

I bought this wireless USB to plug with my Western Digital Live Plus streaming device. The WD device was able to detect the USB wireless device with no problem, however whenever I restarted my WD device - always lose the connection to my router and had to re-configure the wiresless USB.
