What's better than TRENDnet's pre-802.11n gear? How about an 802.11b/g-compliant device that you can actually rest assured works with basically every other piece of WiFi kit out there? The TEW-445UB is a 108Mbps-capable wireless USB 2.0 / 1.1 adapter which sports a fairly small 2.8- x 2.1- x 0.7-inch enclosure and plays nice with Windows only. Aside from supporting "Super G" technology and WEP / WPA encryption, it boasts a high power output for up to 23dBm of range, a detachable 2dBi antenna, and claims to cover "50 to 100" meters indoors while blanketing "150 to 300" meters outside. While nothing here is particularly revolutionary, the respectable $72 pricetag fits the package quite well, and it should be showing up in stores real soon.

how about a usb dongle with 108mbps thats been out for years and works with windows and existing 802.11g/b etc
£30.83 on amazon so thats what $59.96 on xe.com
and things are normally more expensive in uk due to 17.5% VAT etc
so why pay $70 for that?
I got a Dlink PCI card that does all of that for $45 a year ago.
It's USB, Higher-powered, and has a detachable antenna for putting antennas of much higher gain on it. That's the difference. Oh, and it's not PCI (for all us Express-card people).
