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.

Not WDTV compatible!!
If you're like me and you're buying this to give your WDTV media player (Live, Plus, Hub, etc) wireless network, don't bother as Western Digital currently only supports v2 of the TL-WN821N and I think everyone shipping these things now (including Future Shop) is shipping v3.0 or v3.1 and that's

I like this device a lot, and I have told my friends to get this one in the future.
Pros:

- Some of them have higher priced adapters that don't work as well as this one -Good distance too, I usually game upstairs with my buddy's while the router is downstairs Actually ran it through the washer once and it's still going strong!
Cons:
- -Haven't found any
- Works for all types of gaming (FPS, RTS) with no drops

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.

- Cheap
- stylish
- decent connection
- easyish to set up
Cons:
- Hard to understand technical support
- disconnects randomly

Bought this product as my older Lapptop constantly interrupted traffic. This product has not brötit once since I bought it. At over a week! The speed I get is about: 150Mbps and then I sit about 3m from my Belkin router. Extremely affordable!
