Is this the one your talking about? The reviews of it seem pretty bad.

The HomeFree connection is reliable, if not perky. Our 10MB file-copy test
took more than four minutes; compare that to 17 seconds for a typical wired
10Base-T network.
Be warned that HomeFree Wireless can be sensitive to metal objects, and
metal desks, wall beams, or even an ironing board, can cause your
connection to slow. Any glitches that do occur can generally be cleared up
by slightly reorienting the system.

mmm ... 10 MB in 4mins ... must be the fillings in my teeth!
