    Anyone else use one? I got one for free with my notebook because of a Futureshop promo... I figured it would be junky but could be a nice placeholder that I could use temporarily until I get a Netgear or something... but this thing is actually great! I get awesome connection speeds all through my house... upstairs, basement, in the backyard, etc... and downloads etc seem to go FASTER on the wireless laptop than they do on the desktop which is hardwired to my cable, if that makes any sense...

    Thumbs up to Trendnet, can't ask for much more for $0 :D .

    I got a TRENDnet router and USB Wireless NIC from futureshop for a relatively 'pricey' $10 (after rebates) for the pair. i'm also very happy with it's performance. Full speed everywhere in my house.

    Also the router has a pretty decent configuration interface and supports WPA
