This might work. Contrary to a previous post, the X-box adapter is NOT the only one that works. I have been running a TrendNET adapter for well over a year with no issues.
You can buy 3 + shipping and still have $14 to spare vs buying just 1 direct from the manufacturer

How’s the range on these babies? I could use this if it’s got a decent range, anyone familiar with them?
If someone hasn’t already replied, just use any dd-wrt compatible router that can be set as a client.
Does this thing work with ESXi VM host?
Just looking real quick search on Google-Shopping the cheapest router runs about 30 bucks + shipping. At that price you’d almost be better off just paying the 45 bucks for the wireless router and having the easy plug+play action.
Sweet deal if you already own a dd-wrt router though.
Looking around the web, it looks like linux support is still in “fighting with ndiswrapper and usb_modeswitch” and not “actually working”.
I use this for my Xbox and everythig else in my TV stand:

Support page: includes FAQ’s, forum, and javascript link to open the manual–trouble linking it directly.
Using this handy-dandy picture I found on google.
About 200ft (which goes along with the woot description of 4x better range than standard, shown at 50ft in the image)
Lol.
Adapter goes where?!
This thing has mixed reviews all over the web!
NewEgg 16 reviews, 4/5 eggs, out of stock/deactivated

and another review 3.5 stars:

I’m in for three. I could certainly use them. My house is quite old with some pretty thick walls and it is NOT open floor plan (this is both good and bad: good for privacy, bad for WiFi).
My WiFi signal can’t always get to where I place my laptop. I can get a signal if I move it around, but it is never in a convenient place (in the doorway, against the wall, on the ceiling, etc).
So with a moveable WiFi adapter maybe I can finally pick up a good signal without having to climb the walls or hold my laptop at an odd angle just to get to the internet.
I just hope that these are better than the SMC adapters I bought from WOOT a few weeks back. Those were horrible. I’ve never actually seen a WiFi adapter commit suicide before, much less within twenty minutes of opening the box.
Only 2.4GHz. Not for me. Too many 2.4GHz wireless routers and devices around my house. Nary a free channel! In for zero this time.
Im a sucker for Woot deals…& i had to get 3…why…im not sure…but i justified the purchase cause the shipping was still 5 bucks regardless if i got 1 or 3…ohh well!!!
jay, me too… i already have three network adapters but i ordered two. but it says 300Mbps and mine said 150mbps… higher = better?
Well, Snarkles.
Can a woot admin help me?
I was clicking too fast with my 1337 fingers, and i kept getting my password wrong, i wanted to buy three, but it ended up only buying one. I made an error, i really need to buy three!
Please help.
