DSE session based url strikes again, seriously they still haven't changed that crap.

Anyway you have to click the "link to this" link in the top right to get http://www.dse.co.nz/dse.shop/en/product/XH9652

Regarding the actual item it seems expensive to me. N is still a draft spec subject to changes and the benefits over G are not sigificant.

Are you actually connecting to a N router?

If not I would consider a cheap generic G stick, at the end of the day there's a high probablity they use the same chipset inside. Paying for brand name is likely to be pointless.
