A: AnswerYes, it will.Answered by Nikon57
Q: QuestionCan this work with any router(2 answers)
A: AnswerI am the most non technical savvy person you can imagine. I read lost of reviews on this from multiple sites and the general finding was that it worked well for everyone on all systems. I purchased a refurbished Dell that I thought had wi-fi build in. Realized on set up it did not. I order the item, inserted it and had immediate access. I am on Spectrum home wi-fi with their box. Other people's reviews were using routers from different companies. Hope this helps. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Easy, easy easy.Answered by MJinCA
- A: AnswerI saw your post and I thought I should check mine. I've been on my computer all day (4+ hours) and the device is cool. You should contact the manufacturer or Best Buy.

- A: AnswerI followed the instructions, and everything went well - it just took a long time to recognize things (Be Patient!). Install the software first, then shut off (reboot) the PC. Insert the WiFi adapter in to a USB port. Your computer should recognize the new hardware.

Q: QuestionWill this work in a Asus laptop using Window XP? Thanks.(3 answers)
A: AnswerNO - It will NOT work with Windows XP, especially if still 32 bit. It is NOT compatible and Set-up.xls will NOT run. Trying to manually obtain and set up a driver also did not work. This adapter just is NOT for Win XP./ 2020-October/cmrAnswered by CarolynR
