 Solved my wireless problems February 23, 2010
Texas Mack (Dallas, Texas, USA)

I was having difficulty getting a good connection to a Linksys access point in my home (802.11g). The distance from my PC isn't actually all that far (just a couple of rooms), but apparently the walls in between and/or the low power (?) signal from the router resulted in reception hovering around 2 bars on both my laptop's built-in wireless and my desktop PC's Netgear WPN111 USB adapter (internal antenna).
Ping times to other machines on my local home network were all over the board, 5ms, 100ms, 1500ms, time-outs, it was pretty terrible. Playing online games was out of the question. PingTest.net gave me a grade "F"
So, after looking around a bit on the net and hearing generally good things about these Alfa units, I picked up this 2watt 802.11n-compatible one (figured I might be on N networks in the future).
I plugged in the Alfa, let Windows find and install drivers (I still had my Netgear USB attached at this point, to let it connect to Windows Update if needed), removed the Netgear, set up the network connection using Windows's built-in functions (didn't bother with installing Alfa's drivers/utility)...
...boom! Immediately gets 4 bars. I moved the adapter around a bit and got it to stay at 5 bars.
Local network pings are consistently <1ms and PingTest tells me "grade A." It's like night and day.
I can't say for certain if I really needed a "strongest on the market" adapter, or if any random adapter with an external antenna might have worked, but in any case, this solved all my problems very easily and didn't cost much.
For reference, the machine I'm using it on is running Windows 7 64-bit.
PingTest.net results are of course dependent on your internet connection on top of your local connection.
Works much better than my other wireless adaptors. February 12, 2010

I share wireless signal from my neighbor's router, I have an old linkSys WUSB11 works ok for years, usually I get two bars on signal strength. Bought a new PC with Windows 7, also need a new adapter which supports Windows 7, I bought a LinkSys WUSB100 because it is a name brand and my previous LinkSys WUSB11 works ok. Not quite, the WUSB100 only get one bar and some times two bars on signal strength. Switched to NetGear WP111, this one works better than the WUSB100, but just marginally better. Based on Amazon reviews, try this Alfa adapter, installed the drive, connected the signal, immediately I got three bars on signal strength, it does work better than other adapters. Only one thing is, the one I bought came with the original antenna and a 15 inches 9db antenna, the 9db antenna make no different and actually worst.
Great addition to my desktop and netbook, 2 thumbs up! March 14, 2010

I have 2 of these units.
One for travel with my emachine netbook, the other for a desktop pc that needed better range AND needed 802.11N capabilities.
I tested several software utilities with this device; to try and reach objective results.
I used Passmark's Wireless Mon and Xirrus' WiFi inspector.
Most of my usage was with the netbook and during on-the-road travel with the netbook.
Using the netbook's built-in atheros wireless NIC, I did okay with 802.11b/g when I was fairly close in proximity.
When I switched my wireless adapter to use the alfa 2000mw , I would often come close to doubling the amount of APs available for connection [this naturally depends on your locale and available APs within that particular area].
[Example: in one major shopping center in my area, I initially picked up only the "major, well-known" WiFi sites like Mcdonalds, Village inn, and other fast food joints offering WiFi, when using my netbook's atheros NIC. Upon switching to the Alfa device, I then found hot-spots like
the B&N bookstore about 1/2 mile away, a few local hotels, some gas stations and household
APs /routers]
I have a friend that works in RF and has the equipment that can analyze and measure the actual capabilities of this device.
Rather than dwell on "subjective" results; I plan to give one of my devices to him for an "objective" and "measurable" RF analysis this coming week.
I will update my review when I get the results for sensitivity and power, in regards to the capabilities of this devices for 802.11b, g and n.
works great ! April 29, 2010

Dramatic improvement in WiFi performance May 30, 2010

I picked up this adapter for a media computer that is located quite far from our wireless router. I'd been using a Linksys WUSB600NV2, which had all sorts of driver issues, and would keep losing the connection.
The Alfa device installed very easily - I used the downloaded driver from their website, and ran the install program, choosing the option to install driver only. Immediately got a better, faster, more reliable signal. Playing videos off a central server had been impossible, now it works great. (Windows XP SP2)
A surprise came when I installed the Alfa adapter on a laptop that I'd always thought had decent performance on 802.11n networks. (Windows 7 32-bit) I plugged it in, Windows 7 found the drivers automatically, and I connected with the Alfa (and the laptop WiFi switched off). Once again, the performance jump was breathtaking, about 30% faster, and much more stable.
