    I was a little worried about trying a network adapter that interfaced with a USB, but this works perfectly. I also love the fact that it has a low profile which makes it easy just to plug it in and forget about it. I don't really see any speed loss, which is also a plus.

    I was afraid to buy this because I’m a gamer and didn’t want to waste time buying a cheaper one just to find out it sucked and have to return it. This little thing takes up no space and is used on my computer that has no wireless network driver. It came with a driver Cd (very small cd that works if you have regular drive). I use this in a bedroom across my house and upstairs through walls into a bedroom (split level house with router in middle floor on one end). I pay for 150+ MB download speed and my speed test gives me a constant 120+ Mb/s download speed. Upload was good too but can’t recall numbers on that. I’ve had it about a month now and have not noticed any lag situations at all. I am no longer wishing I was wired in. It’s so nice having a good wireless adapter that is reliable especially at this price. I will definitely buy again if I ever need another! I’ll answer any questions you all have if I see it!

    Easiest Plug-n-play adapter that i've installed in a long while. I found it interesting that it comes with a CD-ROM for driver install. The old Lenovo Sattelite that I installed this on still was able to recognize it, thankfully. If I ever have another need for a cheap + reliable usb wifi adapter, i'll go back to this or other ASUS products

    I purchased the ASUS Dual-Band Wireless USB-AC53 Network Adapter to connect my old non-WiFi compatible Gateway to my in-house WiFi network. After installation, the old Gateway was setup in a different part of the house, about 30 feet away and through one wall. It worked instantly, and speed and performance were excellent. I've been using it for a month and had no problems. Seems to work as well as the hard wire that I had previously connected.

    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.

    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.

    This is the firs ime I had to buy something like this to fix WiFi capability on a computer. Computer has had the WiFi board replaced twice under warranty, and this is the third time it went out and it was no longer under warranty. I was skeptical at first, but this unit performed flawlessly. Don’t let the six fool you, it is pretty powerful. Have not noticed any dead spots. Very easy to install.

    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

    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.

    My son bought an older computer on Facebook Marketplace and it didn't have WiFi, so we got this adapter and it works perfect. He uses it to watch YouTube and play online games with his friends and there is no lag or anything.

    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!

    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!
