Totally agree with the reviewer: Software is the critical weakness. I use this product with an older powerbook, and a clean "auto-connect" to wifi is not possible from wakeup or startup. Even with saved profiles, etc. unable to get connected quickly. Radio in the actual unit is outstanding. Railink software poor (had same software several years ago with a OWC wifi product).

Having trouble with my browser today, hopefully this does not show up three or four times. I've had mine for four months now. As the reviewer said, the interace is lacking, but it is not that hard to figure out and comes with fairly good docs. I would give the product a 5 star and the interface a 3, so that averages to 4. Mine reconnects automatically after sleep so no issue there. I tried another one first from Alfa but the software was even worse and the range was not quite as good. Plus this is 802.11n, so major bonus there.
