The Bottom Line	The Zyxel B-220's robust security features make it an excellent choice for those who need to connect to corporate networks.	The Netgear WG111 is one of the best all-around wireless USB adapters we've seen.	From its comprehensive documentation to its docking cradle, the Linksys WUSBF54G has all of its bases covered, making it a smart choice for travelers seeking a good Wi-Fi hot-spot detector/adapter combo.	Looking for an easy, inexpensive way to share an Internet connection? Ashton Digital's wireless USB sticks are the best deal.	Great range and high speeds grace Buffalo's 802.11g USB adapter, but its incomplete documentation may confuse those new to networking.
