The Hawking Hi-Gain Mini USB Adapter HWU54DM has been praised by Laptop Magazine for its excellent speed, long range, and travel-friendly size.

Barely larger than a standard USB key, the HWU54DM adapter can be rotated to find the best signal, an consistently delivers speeds of 27 Mbps. In terms of range, this device can manage about 500 feet, compared to the 300 foot range of most 802.11g adapters.

Security is another strong point, with support for 256-bit WEP, WPA, and even AES encryption.

All in all, this $59 device is a solid choice for those wanting a trusty but highly portable way to tap into nearby Wi-Fi networks.
