This replaces an older version NetGear unit and the first thing I found is how fast it loads. Very reliable with no signal loss which is nice as the hub is in a different room and has to travel through two walls.

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!

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.

I bought this as a possible replacement for a finicky wifi adapter on an old Yoga laptop. It's only USB 2.0 (I knew that going in), but it also runs a bit warm. It pulls a very strong signal, though; much better than the internal antenna in the Yoga. Windows 10 was completely plug and play, but they include a mini CD if needed.

My ASUS laptop had lost it's ability to consistently maintain a wireless network connection. I had to reboot my computer several times a day or run the troubleshooter several times a day to correct the problem. I called the tech guy that normally works on my computer and he recommended this wireless USB Network adapter. I purchased it, received it the next day, downloaded the files (it did come with a CD with the files on it, but my computer doesn't have a CD drive), plugged in the USB network adapter and it seamlessly found my network and connected. I do a lot of online gaming and have had no internet related issues during game play. I would to anyone on the fence about getting it, take a chance, it's definitely worth the price and easy installation.

I had one of these little gadgets and it broke. I went looking for one at Best Buy and the sales rep took me right to it. It is amazing. Easy set-up and when I am on the go it is so simple to swap to hot spot from my home wifi. Cheap and fantastic alternative when your wifi goes out in your laptop

A remarkably good little WiFi adapter that allowed me to wirelessly have rock solid WiFi extended from my XFinity WiFi modem out to a computer in my combination garage/office area. The computer out there only had Ethernet wire connectivity but it was too long a run for the cord.
I previously bought a usb/antenna that I got from Amazon, but that turned out to be a piece of junk that kept dropping the connection. It does come with a mini-CD that has the driver. This little plug & play guy turned out to be a gold mine!

My wifi card went out on my laptop a couple of weeks ago. I searched on how to replace and it would have required tearing down the entire computer to get to the backside of the motherboard. I'm pretty competent when it come to computers and I could have done it but then I found this. It works perfectly and is so small that I don't mind it taking up one of the 3 usb ports I have. I might get around to changing the card out one day but for now this is an excellent solution to my problem.
Only con is that you have to install the drivers before you can use it, and the drivers that come with it is on a cd. Not many computers have disk drives anymore so I had plug my laptop directly to my router download the driver and then install. Not a big problem unless you only have access to wifi and can't plug into a router somewhere.

I intended to purchase a wifi card for my PC but my Best Buy does not stock the card in store.My plan was to purchase this usb wifi adapter and return it after the the ordered card arrived. To my surprise and great pleasure ... this adapter works just fine ... AFTER DOWNLOADING THE DRIVER FROM THE ASUS SITE. My PC is one floor and approximately 50 feet away from my Nighthawk router and i am getting 100 + Mbps download speed from my provider and my speed is supposed to be 100 Mbps at the modem. No complaints ... only praise!

The ASUS - Dual-Band AC1200 USB Network Adapter was simple to install and begin to use. I simply plugged it in and literally within seconds it had picked up the WiFi signal which I then entered the necessary items and never had to worry about it again.
