work well its pretty much the same as the old one but supposedly `` better and faster '' i dont see any difference , the only reason i buy one be because my white network adapter get a short circuit and microsoft refuse to take any ownership in the fail of they product . i figure i spend 100 dollar on the original white one that short on I why should i spend another 60 for one that will fail as well . i purchase the new one in hope it would be better and not fail after 6short month , it hasnt yet after 3 so i guess it do what its suppose to . if you have the ability though you be better off connect straight into you moderm via ethernet cable . if you can do that dont waste you money , if youre like I and cant then go ahead and buy this one or the white one , not much of a difference as far as i can see .
