Need help picking a USB wireless adapter...

[JoeOnetimeposter]

hey, I'm a first-time buyer of broadband hardware, and looking for something very cheap (I've shied away from a ReakTek product based on posts of this sort of thing, is there anything I should know?

in particular, I'm concerned about ambiguity in advertizing--I don't want to buy a device I can't use with my WPA2 router...
if a product is advertised as compatible with 'WPA security', does this imply _any_ WPA, or does it mean only WPAv1 (i.e., they would specify WPA/WPA2 if both would work)?

I buy six at a time on the UK e-Bay site for about £7.50 each and they always work with the highest security level. You could go for a Belkin if you want to buy the name but in my country, that's another £13. It's a quality product but the cheaper ones work just as well. Yoiu might want to spend a little more to future proof yourself with USB 3.0.
