This little device works wonderfully, even though it seems too small. It's the size of a Bluetooth dongle. However, it consistently achieves speeds through my wireless router to match my ethernet cable speeds, downloading at 230mb. Set up was fast and easy using the mini-CD that came along with the device. After I installed the driver and got it operating, I updated the driver.

Worked great to reinstall W10 on a old PC that didn't have a Wi-Fi adapter. Didn't need to install any software for the W10 install to recognize it and use it to connect to my Wi-Fi.

I got wireless router capable of AC speed and wanted to take advantage. Bought this ASUS AC USB wireless adapter and installed it on a Dell 13 inch notebook with Win 10 Home. Installation was a snap, the small size allows me to leave the adapter plugged into a USB port all the time. And I get speeds consistently over 800 mbs. Great purchase and I am thinking about getting another for a second, larger notebook I use for work at home.

Sometimes takes a while to connect, but once it does I don't have any issues. Literally just plug in and connect to your wifi.

Simple set up on a laptop w/Win 7 - was getting the error message to use an ethernet connection even though I had been using wi fi. Seems the mother board dropped the drivers for the built in wi fi adapter so I bought this external one.
Don't have a CD drive so I down loaded the drivers from
https://www.asus.com/us/Networking-IoT-Servers/Adapters/All-series/USB-AC53-Nano/HelpDesk_Download/ to a USB stick and followed the directions for installing them. All went as smooth as butter - a couple of minutes later after finding my wi fi device I was back online.

This wonderful little gadget helped with the WiFi connection for my Chromebook. It was an inexpensive fix until I decide to get a new Chromebook. Appreciated the knowledgeable person at best buy who suggested I give this a try. Will be going back to have this gentleman help me when I am ready to purchase something new.

This dongle eliminated the mess I was using before. The ethernet wiring coming from a wireless repeater was one more cord I didn't have tangled around my computer desk. I didn't even have to use the CD-ROM disk that came with the dongle. I highly recommend this product to anyone needing a network adapter for their PC

Asus doesn't dissapoint with this little powerhouse wireless adapter ! Does what I need and nothing less! Works great paired with my Linksys gigabit router & gets same results as my wired connection maxing out at my rated 130mbit speed! Just what I needed and would recommend to anyone looking for a cheap wireless solution! Low profile construction is a plus yet still able to receive from signal well from a distance!

Bought recently, no complaints, very simple and easy to use. Comes with a disc and installation program but all there is to do is to just plug it in. Works great and Wi-Fi speed consistent and good.

Great fix to my work laptop not working. My wifi stopped working on my work laptop and I needed something to get me connected again. Plugged the dongle in and was online in no time. Didn’t need to use the driver disk it said to. Worked seemlessly.

I had my ASUS laptop one year and the internal wireless adapter just went out completely, no drivers would fix it and there was nothing to do but send it somewhere and I was not going to that. This little thing for $25 works like a charm and I am happy it is the same brand. And it is really small and is not sticking out too far. Works great!

Bought this instead of a wireless card. Installation was quick and connected to my fiber connection router and even tho the router was upstairs and at the opposite end of the house I was connecting at speeds higher than 100 Ks. Couldn't be happier.
