Great replacement for built in wifi antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought my laptop had been rendered useless when I could no longer connect to the internet due to a broken hinge that connects the screen to the computer. I never knew there was such a thing as a removable wifi antenna. Voila! I'm up and running, and greatly pleased. The antenna design is a little large and I have inadvertently moved it around a bit. That would be my only complaint. The size and shape make the positioning of it precarious. It comes with a USB dock for desktop use, but I usually hold my laptop in my lap so it's difficult to use the dock in that situation. The overall performance of the antenna is great!

Fits my needs

Great Product But Wasn't Easy to Install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is great at doing what I need (look at my 5G Wifi signal) . However, it was a pain to set up. I had no idea what I was doing. I'm not that tech saavy. Once installed I have ad no issues other than it sticking out too far and bending the USB. I wish it was shorter, much shorter and didn't stick out that far.

Does what I need. Works well.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took advice from the Best Buy sales person and he was spot on. The item worked for me first time. Sometimes my computer gets hung up but I don't think that's the adapter. I probably need to get his advice on a new computer! Will do in the near future. I would buy this adapter again.

Upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as an upgrade to keep in step with the AC technology of my new router, it's an upgrade alright, I have more power, signal and reception than I can believe, or have ever had, and I don't even run a 3.0 yet, don't hesitate, it's well worth the price.

Q: QuestionDoes the chipset of this adapter support monitor mode, and packet injection? Or do you carry an adapter that can do so?
Asked by DenverCoder9.
- A:Answer I purchased with the same need and was told yes by a rep, I wasn't convinced because she didn't sound 100% certain, but it does support both. You can turn on monitor mode in your terminal. dif command depending on what youre running but a simple search should provide it easily

Answered by Kevin
Q: QuestionDoes this pick up wi-fiI currently do not have internet, However I have a net gear wifi card. That picks up my neighbors Wi-Fi, will this do the same? My net gear card has less coverage then this, so I was just wondering, if this is a receiver also
Asked by Dudley.
- A:Answer Hmmm ... I had to think about that one. The adapter usually picks up what your wireless router has stored, and is transmitting. Used in that way it will pick up many of your neighbors signal, however their signal maybe protected. Used as a repeater or extender I can't say; only that this adapter has the longest range that I have ever witnessed or seen.
