My PC did not have a wireless network adaptor. So when i decided on RT-N16 for my home network, USB-N13 PRO N USB ADAPTER was the obvious choice. It has not disappointed thus far. It is fast, and easy to setup.

Comments about ASUS USB-N13 802.11n Network Adapter:
I own two of these and I will probably buy another one in the future. These work with the WD TV Live HD media players to stream video to my TV. No skips or stuttering. I also use one on my main rig and game over the connection with no problems. The signal in that case is going through a ceiling up to the next floor and it is still just as strong. 300Mbps is no gigabit, but it's better than 10/100 ethernet. Likely the only time you will max out that speed is on LAN file transfers anyway.
The build quality is a little flimsy and the internal antenna means when it breaks after warranty it will be difficult to replace. If it was $10 cheaper it would be perfect. 5 stars
