The drivers are easy to install and work seamlessly. Popped it into the laptop with the setup disc and worked straight away. It's perfect and fixes the common wifi card issue with macbook pros.
Cons
If it flickers & your home network appears in this list then you've found a working driver. Uninstalling them and installing the ones on the asus website fixes the problem, but the adapter still doesn't perform well.

Highlights
Quality
They're so easy to set up and the quality of connection os amazing!
I had trouble with the quick start guide.
I won't bother with micro ones now and just put up with the adapter sticking out.
Price
This thing cost me less than £12 and my laptop is saved.
Packaging/appearance
It worked straight out of the box - no fancy set up required!
Competitiveness
Worked with both 3615xs and 3617xs synology nas, no need to install software, just plug and play
I do like asus products, they push the limits but always at a competitive price.
