NETGEAR - N300 N USB Adapter - Black
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Speed: 300 megabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- Wi-Fi Range: Small to medium homes (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Wireless Standard: AC (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Adapter Type: Wireless
- Form Factor: USB (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
- Frequency: 2.4GHz Digital (A measurement of the electromagnetic radio waves a device emits.)
- USB Generation: USB 3.0 (The specification (generation) of the USB standard. Generations are backwards compatible with previous specifications (provided that those devices have the necessary adapter to accommodate the connection type).)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Compatible Wireless Standard(s): Wireless-N (The wireless networking standard(s) the device is backwards compatible with. This includes networking protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 standard (alphabetically ascending) and the Wi-Fi Alliance standard (numerically ascending), both of which provide high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLANs). Devices designed to work with specific standard(s) will be backwards compatible with previous versions but may not run at optimal performance when using earlier iterations.)
- Attached Antenna: true
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

Q: Would this work on windows 8.1?
A: This works for me on Windows 8.1.
Q: does it matter what kind of internet company you have or the router?
A: Not about your internet provider.It allows a wifi connection so you dont have to connect ethernet connection to your device from your router acroos the room or another part of your home.
Q: compatible with windows 10.
A: I have Windows 10 and it is working great.
A: It does work with Windows 10. It doesn't supply its own internet, it's used to connect to a router if you are using a computer that isn't capable of connecting to wifi on its own.
Q: Will this work on old Desktop Computer?
A: Hi, my son used the N300 wireless N-USB adapter to turn my desktop PC into a wireless PC. It was quick and easy just follow setup directions. Well worth the $40.00. It's small enough to put just behind my monitor so I can see the little blue light and make sure it's connecting. There is a a slight delay in opening pages etc but it's ok for me as long as I have my desktop PC working. So give it a try, and if you're not happy write a review of why you're not happy with it.
Q: How large is the connection radius?
A: Connection radius all depends on what wireless router you have, location of the router in respect to location you are attempting to connect, room/house construction, and many other variables. No one could give a specific distance that would be accurate for your application. We use this in a corner room on the second story. Our router is in a central location on the main floor. Our house has 2x6 wall construction and there is a total of three walls and the ceiling/floor between them. The connection for us is outstanding. For us this works much better than the built in wi-fi card in my son's computer (4 year old HP).
Q: Can this be used to convert a USB Brother Multifunction printer to wireless?
A: Simply put, no. You could make your usb printer available on the network but it's a real pain and if you're asking the question you don't want to go there. Get a wireless printer.
A: Yes, be warned when playing multiplayer games. This can go off for a couple seconds which will make it annoying for hardcore gamers
