Advantages: It connects to the Internet!

Disadvantages: It can be quite troublesome to set up.

This pen's software is awful. Really awful. It made online gaming extremely laggy and impossible to play and it kept dropping constantly.
On the verge of throwing this out I went onto the Internet to read more about it only to find someone saying to delete the belkin software and just use the Windows connection. So I did this and now it works perfectly!

So advice to buyers who have a problem getting this to work - **IGNORE the instructions in the box about not putting the adpater in until you've installed the CD software** infact, do NOT install the CD software at all and plug in the adapter and let Windows find the drivers and run it itself. If it works fine using the CD software then great, otherwise take note of my instructions.

If you don't really know what your doing though when it comes to removing belkin software, then splash out an extra £5 and get a Netgear one. I use a NetGear one on my other computer, had it years now and it's been great, always remains connected and still works fine as if it was the day I'd bought it.

**Update!** We recently got a new computer with Windows Vista and had to buy a newer version of this adaptor. Downloading new drivers off the site didn't work, it simply had to be a new adapter, so a warning for anyone who is upgrading to Vista!

Summary: Buy a NetGear adapter.
