    My laptop wifi went bad. This ASUS unit fixed the problem immediately and was so good, I can now wait another couple of months before I need to buy a new computer. The AC1200 saved me!!!!

    This is a great peoduct very easy to setup all the drivers are online if you are unfortunate enough to not have a cd-Rom (me included) however i was still able to get it working! I did buy this for my buddy too and i actually had to do some troubleshooting on that one but it was fairly simple and theres a video on youtube foreveryrhing if you really get stuck! Over all very very easy to set up great price and great quality!

    Worked great immediately. Never dropped connection and provides good, stable speeds. Having this as an option vs installing a network card is wonderful and quite a bit cheaper as well. As long as you have plentiful USB ports, this is an excellent option. The only warning I will give is the software required comes on a disc so if you have no CD drive you will be SOL unless of course you have an internet connection to download the software from ASUS.

    I bought this USB wireless network adapter to retire the existing wireless PCI adapter installed in my HP desktop. It is a great replacement. The installation is easy and the signal is excellent! The computer is located on a different floor from the FioS router.

    Used this for an older laptop where the internal wifi radio had started malfunctioning. Worked great, was cheaper that replacing the internal radio. Is small and doesn't affect the overall ability to carry the laptop around.

    Bought this one because the integrated WiFi on my wife's laptop was dying. Has no problems getting a strong signal on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands from my router anywhere in the apartment. It's speedy for internet downloads and streaming, no complaints there. It's very tiny so it doesn't look too out of place when it's plugged in her laptop, which now is almost permanently. Would like to see a small device like this but with a USB 3.0 interface. One minor complaint is that the drivers have a typo... when you plug this in and Windows configures it, it's reported as a "Wieless" adapter. Seriously, Asus? I went into the registry myself and fixed all the instances where it was misspelled, so it doesn't bother me now.

    I purchased this tiny WIFI adapater to transmit to an extender across the same room and it actually reached my router across the house. Of course, the speed was higher because I eliminated the extra hop through the extender. And, the signal was solid. Count me impressed!

    I bought this adaptor because I bought a new computer and it didn’t have built in wireless LAN card. I wanted something small, yet performs like a beast and this was the perfect solution. I’m happy with my choice and would recommend this product to anyone in need.

    Who knew you could buy this adapter to "convert from 2G to 5G"? We upgraded our home internet to 5G network and discovered the laptop could only run on 2G (or slower). Bought the adapter, and WOW, simple. No issues. 5G all the time.

    Wanted to hook the computer to my tv in the living room to play Baldur’s Gate III on my big tv. Computer is a good 50 ft away from my router and goes through 3 walls, but it gives me the maximum connection strength. Good little adapter. Also super easy to set up. Just plug in and it finds the connection and all done.

    Had a new modem installed by CenturyLink and consequently my laptop lost WiFi capabilities. The tech suggested I pickup one of these and it was simple and easy to install and I now have WiFi on my laptop.

    I bought one of these for my computer that did not come with on-board wireless. When my mother-in-law's wireless card in her laptop died I knew this might work. She says that it has been working beautifully for her and has had no issues and doesn't have to worry about doing anything technical to get her wirelss to work with this.

    Exactly what we needed. We were looking at something different that was more expensive and I’m not sure would have worked. The customer service employee told us what we needed and showed us how it would work.
