Small but powerful
I bought it a month ago and I'm really surprised how well it works, very little latency and very good transfer. I recommend it.

A reliable wifi connector.
Works perfectly. I find it a reliable wifi connector for my PC, even at a fairly long distance from my wifi router.

Meh
It works but I've had to resort back to a wired connection as the dongle would randomly drop connection.
