Poor range

It works OK on both bands but the range of coverage is disappointing at best. I compared this with the internal Atheros-based wirless G network card in my low-end Compaq laptop and the Linksys adapter consistently showed lower signal strength. I realize the laptop has larger internal antennas but it's also 2+ years old; I guess my expectations were too high for wireless N on a USB stick.
Also to note, I found that even though the 5GHz band is wide open, the signal seems to be affected much more by physical objects than the signal on the 2.4GHz band. In other words, the signal isn't as strong on 5GHz as it is on 2.4GHz and you will likely have even less range.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
