1000mW 1W 802.11g/n High Gain USB Wireless G / N Long-Rang WiFi Network Adapter - Dongle With Original Alfa 5dBi and 9dBi Rubber Antenna *Strongest on the Market* Review

I'm using this dongle/antenna to connect my media server on the ground floor of my house to a wireless router, which is on the second floor and in the opposite corner of the house. I've used several laptops in this room with many different wireless adapters, as well as a previous media server with built-in wifi card, and all generally get about 2-3 bars (out of 5) of signal in this location.
When I use this product in the same room, and even with one of the same laptops, I get 5 bars of signal, and the utility app says the connection ranges from 98-100% quality! I've streamed all kinds of video content with this new dongle, including HD, and it is amazing how well it works, comparable to plugging directly into the router via ethernet. It also pulls in routers from all the neighbors' houses, which were previously invisible, so I guess we could have free broadband if we really wanted it. The reception is way better than I dared hope for, and I'd buy this product again in a second if I needed another wifi connection for some reason.
In addition, I was surprised at how easily I was able to install the driver, even on Vista. . . when was the last time that happened? I hadn't heard of this company, and I was hesitant to buy from some small company because I've experienced compatibility problems before with obscure drivers working with XP, Vista, even Mac OS. Not this time, I was up and running in a couple of minutes.
One note of caution: the high gain antenna is very long (about a foot) and about a half-inch thick, so it would be cumbersome if you're using it with a laptop or expect it to be portable or unobtrusive. This is not an issue for me, and I guess the size is what makes it so powerful, so it's not a problem with the product, just something to consider in advance.
*** UPDATE 7/15/10 ***
I had some trouble getting this to work when I installed it with a new Windows 7 machine. The driver disk that came with it only goes up to Vista, so I had to download a current version from the Alfa Network site ([...].). Once I installed the new driver, it worked as well as reviewed above. The tricky part was that Win7 recognized the device and the wireless network icon in the taskbar, networking control panel, etc. all said that it was working, even though it actually wasn't. Wish I hadn't been fooled by that, so I'm posting the above link to make it easier for the next guy (or gal).
