I like it, but only gave it a 6 because it took a lot of digging to find the right instructions to get it working, but the above instructions should work.

Further notes:

I use a Digitus 1 Watt 30 cm antenna with it and you can get good speeds even across the street from the router. You can also detect networks from a mile away.

I have tried the ad-hoc network feature, but it doesn't seem to work yet. Maybe they will get it working in the future.

The connection is usually stable and great speed. The driver is stable even tho it is staging.
