I own a computer that utilizes Windows Vista (64 bit) and was not having success installing wireless adapters from two reputable companies. At this point I was ready to cut open walls and run the ethernet cable to my computer. I mentioned the problem to my computer geek cousin and he told me to purchase a medialink wireless adapter as it supports Windows Vista 32 and 64. So I googled the wireless adapter and found that Amazon carried it. So I went to Amazon.com and there it was in the medialink adapter's product information, compatible with Vista 32 and 64. At $29.99 ( $10.00 cheaper then the previous two adapters), I thought it was worth the risk. I recieved it two days later and proceeded to install the medialink wireless G USB adapter and again no success. At this point I'm ready to punch a hole in the wall out of frustration. I finally decided to contact Mediabridge to convey my dissatisfaction. The phone was picked up after one ring and a customer service person rerouted me to technical support. Technical support picked up after one ring and I'm thinking to myself, this is amazing, no machine telling me to push buttons. After running several test on my computer with technical support, I still was not wireless. The tech support person, who was professional and knowledgable, recommended trying their wireless-N USB adapter. He said Mediabridge will ship it out right away at no cost. I received the wireless-N adapter the following day (again,amazing). I install it and within five minutes I was wireless. The installation was a snap. I'm on the internet several hours a day and I haven't had any problems at all. I forget sometimes that I'm wireless. At the price Mediabridge is charging for their wireless adapters, this is a steal. Kudos to Mediabridge for backing their products and lowering my blood pressure. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a quality wireless adapter at a great price.

This adapter works like a charm once it's installed, both on Windows 7 and on Windows XP. (I haven't tried it with any other operating systems.) I have used three of these on four different computers, and it has worked well in every case.
The rest of this review deals with only one quirk: if you like to control your own destiny and you use Windows XP, you may want to use Windows Wireless Zero (the built-in wireless management in Windows XP) rather than the provided wireless management client, but the driver and software will not allow you to do so if you do not have that service running when the driver is installed. It doesn't matter if you want to use the provided wireless manager, but I was disappointed with the fact that the client software (on Windows XP, at least) AUTOMATICALLY connects to an available unencrypted network immediately after installation, which is dangerous, since that network may not be yours and may not be safe. Worse yet, it does not allow you to specifically disable said wireless network.
In order to have full control over the networks you connect to (again, in Windows XP at least), you should check that the Wireless Zero Configuration service is running BEFORE you install the software. If you install without the Wireless Zero Configuration service running, you'll have to completely uninstall, enable the service, then reinstall in order to be able to use Wireless Zero.
If you have no idea what I'm taking about but you want some rough guidance, try this on for size: Go to your Windows control panel, open Administrative Tools, open Services, and scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration. If the status is Started and the startup type is Automatic, you're all set. If not, double-click the icon, change the startup type to Automatic, and click the Start button, then click OK to save your changes. THEN you can install the driver, after which you will be able to use the built-in Windows wireless management to specify which networks you do or do not want to connect to.

I purchased this adapter with high hopes that it would somehow magically work with my Western Digital WD TV Live, despite my knowing that it was an unrealistic expectation since the dongle comes with it's own drivers. At best, I was expecting to have to run some home-brewed firmware on the WD TV in order to get this to work.
Lo and behold, I plugged it in and it was recognized within seconds. In under a minute, the box was connected to my network and I was streaming YouTube video to my upstairs bedroom. I was absolutely amazed.
This dongle is not yet listed on WD TV Live's supported device list, and I've found no previous posts or reviews confirming this compatibility. Hope this helps those looking at this for the same reason that I was.
