This wireless adapter was purchased after cable was installed at my brothers new apartment last month. He needed to be able to use his computer with his wi-fi signal from the cable that was just installed. The clerk suggested this one and less than a half hour later the adapter was plugged in and working like a charm. Great product, great price, easy to use, and works fantastic!!

Initially, I was using an ethernet cord which worked just fine but it went from one room and into another. I purchased this to eliminate the cord. Was skeptical of the signal but decided on the adapter anyway. I'm glad I bought it because it works like a charm. Signal is strong, set up was easy, and the cost was fair.

Purchased this adaptor for a laptop to use instead of the internal 802.11n wifi card on a windows 10 PC. The internal card barely picked up the signal and even close to the router the speed was 5Mbps. This adaptor was able to pick up the 5GHz band well and the internet speeds jumped to 56Mbps. The driver install was very simple and the small profile is nice for the laptop.

I followed the installation instructions and it loaded and worked fine. I get over 700mb connections and have used it at home and at hotels. Only had one hotel that didn't work and had to use my older 2.4 connection. Not sure why it didn't work. Also have had a minor problem where it didn't wake up after the laptop had gone into sleep mode. Had to disable/ enable it.

I bought this for an old laptop that doesn't see 5G and is incapable of speeds over 50MBPS. It works great. It is seeing speeds over 240MBPS on my 5G channel. It is really small so it doesn't add much bulk to the laptop at all.

I needed a new gateway from my ISP, and unfortunately my 12+ year-old laptop’s internal WiFI was too old-tech to see my own network amongst the listing of available networks the new router was showing. So - the time had come for an alternate method to connect.
I tried a ‘budget’ WiFi adapter from another vendor and it was nothing but problems - the thing would not keep a solid connection no matter what. Constant disconnects and frustration.
Tried this Asus adapter - it’s been perfection thus far. Installed the driver, plugged in the adapter, connection established and it hasn’t disconnected at all since. Solid. My gateway is on the 2nd floor of a 1200-sq-ft home and the laptop is downstairs basically right underneath. Signal is very strong.
No problems - this solved this issue and I recommend.

Easy to set up with or without the disc that comes with purchase, small enough to not be in the way of anything, and lets an older laptop connect to 5G internet for game streaming purposes.

Does the job well. Can’t really complain out it. Just doesn’t do the best to get 5G but itll still keep a speed good for gaming but can’t beat Ethernet not by a long shot

I purchased this USB WiFi adapter to use instead of the built in WiFi card of my older laptop. The old card wasn't Gigabit speed and wasnt dual band so I could never get anything above 50Mbps on any speed test. With the new adapter I'm getting 200+ Mbps. It's really small so its hardly noticeable. I really satisfied with my purchase.

These adapters do a wonderful job. Fast, dependable and easy to plug and play. This is my second purchase of the same adapter (for an additional laptop). These out perform the new adapters in a new HP machine.

My wifi card in my ASUS laptop was working erratically, suspected it was going bad. Getting this device was an alternative to replacing the card. This was very easy to set up and it's working perfectly. No more wireless connection issues, and it's so small that it doesn't get in the way of anything.

This item was perfect in solving our connectivity issues with my dad's older PC laptop. It's very small and does not get in the way while it is plugged into the USB outlet on the laptop, and it was easy to install. The Geek Squad at our local store helped us figure out what we needed to buy, and the whole experience was fast and friendly. Thanks, Best Buy!

I really like this WIFI USB adapter because it is super small. It sits almost entirely flush in the port when inserted so is great as you won't have to worry about knocking it off or breaking it. Performance is good, ON 802.11AC I got close to 900mb connect speed. Highly recommend, its worth the $10 extra vs other adapter to get the slim form factor

This was a piece of cake to set up. In less than 10 min, I installed it and set up my Dell desktop to be wireless. I had contacted Dell previously for assistance in such a product that would be compatible with my computer AND Windows 10. They instructed me to buy a new computer! It works with Windows 10 and my Google fiber network. So thankful!
