This has got to be one of the best value WiFi Client devices around today, and believe us we have tried a few! The Zyxel G-202 is a neat bit of kit supporting both 802.11b and g standards. Simple plug in and go and the bundled WiFi utility is very easy to use.
Where this is worth buying is if you have a boat or caravan and your signal is on the low side with a built in WiFi card. Often using an external USB device can give you better reception with the aid of an extension cable (see our cables section)
