Best USB WLAN adapter for OSX?

[Parasitic]

I recently moved to a new place and am experiencing horrid wireless connectivity. The signals would degrade over time and drop connection, so I thought I'd try an external USB adapter to see if it'd improve the situation. Does anyone have recommendations? The router is an old 802.1b/g model so I don't really need a top-of-the-line model of an adapter to match it, but I would definitely prefer one with good connectivity and native OSX support so I wouldn't have to install a separate utility for it - I've got enough icons on my menu bar as is and I really would like something that can be picked up by Network Preferences.

Thanks!

It does require a separate utility though. What machine are you using this on?

I like this Trendnet TEW-424UB (hardware revision 3.1): http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833156152

Got several installed in Windows boxes and reception seems to be very good.

Link to manufacturer's page says supports OS X.

Cool I have been looking for a way to get wifi on my Hackintosh build. Are there any other compatible models you guys are aware of?

I want to use this with my Macbook when I'm at the apartment, so in actuality I guess I'd prefer one with a larger antenna or a port for an extension. Size isn't an issue.

This requires a separate utility? If I looked for an adapter based on the chipset used by Airport cards would that mean that OSX should have native support for it?
