    The Good: Speedy throughput; simple installation; plug-and-play support lets you easily share one adapter among many PCs.

    The Bad: External installation makes it susceptible to breakage.

    The Bottom Line: The Netgear WG111 is one of the best all-around wireless USB adapters we've seen.
