Dear StevenWVegas,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment and the inconvnience this may have caused if you are experienced a system crash while installing the driver. To resolve the issue, please check if the computer meets the system requirements of the wireless network adapter. If it does please verify if Windows and chipset driver are up to date. Also, if another network device was used prior to installing the ASUS USB wireless adapter, old network device drivers were uninstalled or removed properly before installing the drive for the USB wireless device.
If you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] and I would be happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
Regards,
Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty

Works great on my kids desktop. I do wish the device included the drivers on the usb dongle instead of a cd. I had to use a computer that was online to download and installed on the system.

I was initially nervous about a wireless connection because I’d always had wired. This adapter allows for a strong connection without stringing cables all over my place.

After my wifi failed in my desktop, I decided to purchase the ASUS AX1800 to solve the problem. I was so excited about this simple solution, and it worked well for 3 weeks, but all of a sudden, the wifi speed dropped down to 30 mbs download speed. My modem router is about 20 feet away from my desktop with Gig speed wifi. Super disappointed with this product.

If you have a computer that doesnt have internet and you think this will work. Nah, in order for it to work you need to download drivers that REQUIRES internet for it even to work. On top of that even when you get the drivers installed the decice doesnt pick up on your internet. Waste of money, waste of time, waste of energy.
