Q: I' m lost to using this cool network adapter! Do you still need a eithernet cable for the wireless to work? I have wireless access just want to know if this can connect to internet without tech support! Thank you for your help!

A: Hi, I have this adapter and you do not need a cable. It comes with a dvd that you load into your computer. After that, you just plug the adapter into your computer and you will connect to your router without any need of wires. Hope this helps!

Q: Will this actually make an existing laptop connection faster? I'm getting a MU-MIMO AC router. My laptop can already connect to the internet, but doesn't have MU-MIMO I don't think. It's a Samsung series 5. Do I need this?

A: I'm not sure about MU-MIMO, but I bought this to be able to use 5ghz wifi and get off the cluttered 2.4ghz band. Making this switch, I went from about 50mbps to about 94mbps on average, on a 100mbps service.

Q: does this work with Windows vista?

A: Hi! Regarding your query, the Linksys WUSB6100M will not work with Windows Vista. It is only compatible with computers running on Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Q: Can you use this on a smart tv so it can pick up the houses internet?

A: No, mcsmith. This adapter will only work with computers running on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10.

Q: If I plug this into my desktop pc will it now be connected to wifi or do I need anything additional to be able to connect wirelessly? My router is located in an area we don't want the computer and aren't trying to run a cord all the way through the house!

A: It should connect to your router. Just make sure you know the password to connect to the router. If you do not have a password protected wireless network, I suggest you do. Otherwise anyone can connect to your router and that can reduce your internet speeds and make your pc and devices vulnerable to danger.
