Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this for use as backup to the built-in Airport in my MacPro. I ran into couple of problems with the unit after installing it: even though the signal was very strong, the unit got massive amount of collision errors causing the web pages to display very slow and sluggish. After a call to their support, I was referred to their Engineering support since Tech support can't help. After couple of email exchanges, I was sent a new driver for the unit. After installing this driver the collision errors went away but the web pages were still displayed very slow. The stats screen showed large number of retries. Engineering support suspected interference caused the problem and suggested to switch to another channel. After switching the wireless router to another channel, the retries went away and the unit works great since. Don't know why the Airport did not have this problem but since it now works great I'm happy with it.
I'd recommend this unit for anyone who needs a backup, or has a need to use an external antenna for extended range.
