Problem solved with WiFi
Huge problem solved with this device. Our solar panel controller needed internet connectivity after the last home owner chopped off the ends of the Ethernet cable. I purchased this WiFi device to plug into the controller and give it internet access. Easy to use and setup. You may need to use power if the device you’re trying to connect over WiFi doesn’t provide power over the USB ports.

Works well but did not work out of the box
The device did not connect out of the box to my Google Nest mesh Wi-Fi but after downloading the firmware update and installing the firmware, the device connected without me having to change any settings on it from the settings I entered on the initial log in and set up. After the firmware updated the device rebooted, so I do not know whether it was the firmware update or the reboot, or both, that allowed the device to work. For other Google Nest mesh users, you will choose the AES option for the encryption settings.

Average product...
3-star rating since setup was not straight forward and I had to occasionally re-sync it. Setup: the directions are easy to follow, but the device did not connect as described. While the IOGEAR was connected via ethernet to my laptop, I had to turn my laptop wi-fi ON for the IOGEAR to successfully connected to my wi-fi network. Re-sync: my IOGEAR is connected to an HDFury that is accessible via a web UI, but the IOGEAR would lose wireless connection when certain commands are issued to the HDFury. An IOGEAR or HDFury reboot does not restore wireless connection. To restore connection, I had to re-connect the IOGEAR via ethernet to my laptop and "re-sync" the IOGEAR. Due to the intermittent wi-fi connection with the HDFury, I no longer use the IOGEAR; I now use an ethernet connection to an Orbi wi-fi satellite - no connection issues.

Works. But beware of your IP Pool
Works as advertised. But if your home network is on a different IP Pool than the adapter, there's some work to even talk to it's GUI. The adapter is on pool 192.168.1.XXC. My network is on 192.168.0.XXX. My network couldn't see the adapter. I uséd the PC setup, then accessed the GUI and changed the adapter to my pool. 192.168.0.XXX. After this the WPS setup option worked fine.
