DON'T THINK TWICE.. BUY IT!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I recently just built a gaming PC. Trying to be on a budget I got a motherboard without WIFI. But, let me be the first to tell you it's not all about having straight ethernet connection. I'm not close enough to set up with direct connection. But having this little handy Nighthawk is ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! Not to mention it also has a magnet on the stand which is awesome. The setup is SUPER EASY. You really can't mess it up. Hook it up, download the software, find your connection and you're on the web in seconds. Ease of use is a terrific five stars. My download and upload speeds are GREAT! I never lag with games such as Warzone, Overwatch, and Siege. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to find something easy and great!! 5 out of 5 stars!

very unreliable
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Don't buy, this is the most unreliable wifi adapter I have ever seen. Most of the time it works OK, and then after 15 or 30 minutes all of sudden it would disconnect or lose a lot of packets for a few seconds, or a minute, or until restarted. Usually in the middle of an online game, which ruins it completely. Attached is a representative screenshot from StarTrinity CST, covering about 45 minutes. Of course, initially it was fine, only now after the return period has ended it's working erratically. Plus it has a nonsensical and useless app that comes with it, and even if you don't want that app only the driver you have to download everything. Horrible product, I won't buy from NETGEAR ever again.

Q: QuestionCan this work for windows 10 because the ac1200 another version said it has software problems with windows 10 and I wanted to know if this one didn't have problems with windows 10 or not

Q: QuestionIf i have ZERO access to a WiFi or any kind of internet service can i use this instead of paying a cable company for WiFi?
Asked by Chris.
- A:Answer This device will constantly scan and update for strongest WIFI signal in your location. The signals are free. Most signals are secured and In order to connect with any of the signals you must provide a User ID and Password. IF you're extremely lucky someone ( a neighbor) may be sending an unsecured signal. But this is highly unusual. NOTE: Unlike a cell phone which has a built in mobile device that allows a temporary connection to many retail or commercial stores who provide free access when you visit their stores. New computers, laptops, and tablets today have wireless WIFI built into it ... This "Nighthawk Ac1900 Wifi Usb Adapter" enables older computer units to eliminate cables and allows them wireless access to the internet.
