    used it with windows 7 64 and 32 bit, plugged it in and installed drivers automatically and gave me networks instantly. i'm near my router so range isn't a problem, but the one linked above is just the same with better antenna so can't be bad. pretty good value imo

    I don't know about the one Shbris linked to, but the one from Scan comes with a weighted desktop stand (basically just a USB extension lead with a large base at one end) thaty lets you mount it away from the back of your PC. This can help a great deal when you have marginal signal.

    came with small usb extension but not far enough for desktop. tbh if ur ordering something from scan already to get above 20 quid, get that one, but can't beat amazon free delivery on everything

    No free delivery on that item as it isn't actually sold by Amazon. Amazon delivery is only for order over £15 too as far as I can remember, it also takes several days to get dispatched and delivered. Scan is next day.
