Cheaper Alternative Available! (Read Review)
By Chef Soderstrom
I ordered this in conjunction with the wireless adapter for my LG television, and attempted to hook it up last night. My television was able to stream netflix/vudu at full 1080p, however, this Onkyo wireless adapter wouldn't even connect because the signal apparently was too low, despite fully upgrading the firmware.
I hooked this up to my desktop, and it registered it as having the Atheros AR9271 Chipset, so I found another Wireless USB with an external gain antenna. Granted, It isn't as tiny as this adapter, but I also got a short USB extension cable so I can route it behind my receiver.
The exact model I purchased -IS- on Amazon (TP-Link TL-WN722N 150Mbps High Gain Wireless USB Adapter) for 1/3 the price of this and since it uses the same chipset (Please note, the model version is N150 High Gain) I am *assuming* it will work. I will reupdate this once I get confirmation of that, but overall, the UWF-1 adapter wouldn't even connect when the router was less than 30 feet away in another room.
***UPDATE***
The alternative adapter I purchased worked flawlessly! I will upload a video once amazon's service works, but look in the comments below for a youtube video.
***UPDATE AS OF May 25 2013***
It seems that TP-Link has come out with new model numbers, which weren't on the linked page when I first made this review.. To be specific the model number I got was the N150 High Gain! I am glad this review saved a ton of people money for a product that wasn't good at all!

For those who rated poor because of low signal
By Jignesh
I am usually not one to read manuals but the English section for this is only two pages so it was worth a gander. The manual clearly states that if your device is close to or around other wireless devices (laptop, roku, PS3, XBOX, Wii, ect.) that you may not get a good signal. There is a very easy solution to this and that is to change the channel on which your wifi is operating. This can be done in your router setup (you might even have to read another manual for that if you are unfamiliar with networking equiptment) and it's pretty easy to do on a computer. Try a few different channels to see which give the best signal in your environment, happy listening to all! And before you go giving such an awesome product a 1-star review make sure you know what you are doing first don't just assume its the product and not you ;)

Does what its supposed to do.
By M. Rodriguez
So i read the manual, plugged it in, used my router passwords and started listening to internet radio. No hassles or headaches, that's five stars in my book.
