    Pros: usb always a plus... comes with extention for better reception, secure registration software

    Cons: slow!!! takes awhile to start blinking and allow acess, the price is not good. you could buy a regular router with even better reception for half the price...

    Summary: I and even nintendo reccomends that you buy a regular router than this piece of junk! the usb is pretty cool so you don't have to go through the lan hassle which is good. but then you got this clunky version of a jump drive sticking out of your computer just waiting to be accidentally bent in half. After like 6 months, my wifi connector suddenly began to stop working. first id be suring web on my ds and suddenly it would pop up saying i didn't have reception. then i look.. Sure enough my stupid connector was plugged in and not blinking. So i reset the computer and plugged back in and it worked, no biggy, but then sure enough, it does it again except sooner. its like it was gradually burning out. after repeatedly unplugging and plugging back in, it soon would do absolutely nothing when plugged in! I looked at the usb driver since it apparently detected the connector with errors. So i mistakenly followed microsofts troubleshooter which told me to uninstall the driver and install it again... so i tried and when the installer told me to plug in my connecter, it wouldn't get a signal so it didn't install the driver. So end of story, i trash this junk and buy a belkin router 2 months later for 24 dollars (no lie) and it has so much better reception and never fails and stays on 24/7 without failing! and my sister can use her laptop to get internet too... bottom line. Don't buy this!!!
