This one sent in by PCTrends is way smaller -- it's the Wireless nLITE Mini-size USB Adapter -- probably the smallest out there right now.

I got about 3 or 4 WiFi USB dongles at home to hook up desktop PCs and media players to the wireless network. This one sent in by PCTrends is way smaller — it’s the Wireless nLITE Mini-size USB Adapter — probably the smallest out there right now.

The Edimax WiFi USB dongle is compatible with wireless 802.11n standard with a data rate of up to 150Mbps (as long as your router also supports it).

The ones I have at home are from LinkSys and TPLink (the only model compatible with my HDX 1000 NMT) and one can clearly see the difference in size. The problem with my existing WiFi dongles is that once you plug them in one USB port, you can’t use the adjacent port as it covers it. This one by Edimax doesn’t get in the way.

Haven’t seen these in stores by they should sell for around Php1,500.

I have tried many many wifi adapters…..and I can say one thing for sure…
..I don’t know about you guys, but for me UAWIFI UA3 usb adapter is the BEST.
No other adapter can compare to this baby, it is VERY powerful.
There are few people sell them on ebay, but I got mine directly from mft. website http://www.uawifi.com price is same.
I also know that it is Made in USA, so at least by buying it I am supporting US workers.

hehe, I was looking for a wireless adapter lately on some stores and one store offered me a super mini adapter and even more it supports wireless-n. though its not edimax (i might probably bought edimax if I know at that moment) I was excited to buy it on a low price.

sorry to post this on a competitor article.

http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/nfiniti-wireless-n/nfiniti-wireless-n-ultra-compact-usb-20-adapter-wli-uc-gn/ – this is what i bought lately. though one thing, i find that it has dead spot (or is it the router?)

Buffalo Dimensions – 40x15x5 mm
Edimax Dimensions – 40x16x7 mm

maliit lang ang difference, and its cool that it can act both as an extender and as a client. :)

i have seen this in gilmore and bought one for only 850php. what amazes me it the signal strength. kahit nasa 3rd floor (router is on the first floor) abot ang connection ko.
