Use to need wired internet
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item enabled me to connect an older computer, that previously needed to be connected to the internet with an ethernet cable, wirelessly. Super easy to use. All you need is an available USB port. I am now able to email docs and photos to my new laptop. Great tool!

Easy plug n' use on Windows 10!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My situation for getting this product is a little different than others. My Surface Book 2, when I close the lid and use it as a desktop PC, the internet is nonexistent so I decided to use an old Netgear USB mini and it did the job, but it was an old product and it was giving me trouble. I was skeptical about this product at first because I've read some bad reviews regarding its bad connection with Windows 10. I just plugged it, installed the driver directly from the Netgear website (no use for the cd on my case) and I immediately got internet access on a recently updated Windows 10 [version 1903] laptop. This update was approximately 6 days ago. The internet bars are full and to make a very specific test, I went to the Funimation website and selected a movie (that they stream) and played a 1080p movie (that before it looked more like 720p, and was ALWAYS buffering). The movie started perfectly! No hiccups, no loading time, no low bandwidth and no crazy buffering! I even went back and forth on scenes and again, no low bandwidth. The USB itself looks sturdy and the WPS button on the side is easy to push (you can hear a click). Unlike the older model, its a tad bigger (pic added) but for me, that's not a critical issue. Overall, a good product and Wi-Fi problem solved in minutes.

Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I plugged it in and the drivers installed automatically. I am using it on an older HP desktop that is about 5 years old. It seems just as fast as when using the RJ 45 cable. The computer streams music, movies, etc. nice and fast. Not a bad price too.

Netgear to the rescue!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Netgear mini WiFi adapter solved a big problem for me when the built-in WiFi on my huge, heavy desktop computer just died. Having to cart that behemoth back to the place where it was built is like moving a piano. There had to be an easier solution. Yes indeed there was. Why not get a USB mini WiFi adapter that I can plug in and install? Netgear to the rescue. I disabled the old WiFi adapter in the desktop computer's device manager, then installed this little gem. It was quick and easy and best of all, it WORKS GREAT! I can't say enough about how much I appreciate how easy it was to restore the WiFi on my oversized desktop computer. Thank you, Netgear!

Works great in a desktop

Great Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old adapter was longer and easier to bend, which is what caused it to stop working. The one I purchased is smaller and doesn't stick out as far, which will keep it from getting broken as easily

Q: QuestionCan I use this to connect tv to wifi network?
Asked by Efra.
- A:Answer No, This is a adapter to connect a computer that does not have built in wireless adapter, software will need to be installed when using this adapter, TV can not accept software to work with adapter. Most smart TV's have a USB port, it's used for photos to be displayed on TV, not for use with WiFi adapter.

Q: QuestionI need WiFi internet access for my rv. We are starting up our building maintenance business and can't always find a hotspot. Is there a cheap data provider and what equipment do I need for laptop
Asked by Dragongranny4.
- A:Answer Might want to turn your cell phone into a hot spot, check with cell provider for rates and if they provide that service. Warning: If you have a cell provider and use it as a hot spot, be advised Data rates will apply if you go over you cell Data plan. If your laptop has a built-in wifi adapter, just turn on and find your cell hot spot and long in.
