it seems pretty good.

don't expect it to be the same as w/ cord. does your router support 125mbps? if not it'll probably just work at regular g (54mbps). if you have interference on the 2.4 ghz channel (cordless phone, etc) then you might not get as good of a reception.

i say go for it.

You can get cheaper...

Next time, wait a little longer for a reply.

Maybe this is good? I'm not sure what kind of signal you're working with. :

well the one that Ryan suggested uses 802.11b.. if you have a G router, then definitely make use of that and get a G wireless adaptor.

if you want something cheaper, maybe look at this?

but for quality maybe your original choice is best..
