    Works well, throughput is slightly behind the larger TP link AC1200 with the big antenna. The TP link antenna fell off so I found this. No having to remove it when I put it in my bag. My wifi card is wonky or maybe my laptop. The wifi drivers disappear on their own and don't like to reload without a hard reset. So I use adaptors.

    The piece was easy, however, I did need to contact customer support to download the driver since our desktop computer did not have a disk drive. Customer Service was EASY to access, patient, and very helpful. So far the adapter has helped with the necessary speed for downloading games for the gamer in the house.

    I had very old Dell Optiplex tower, the WiFi card was not working, so I bought this. I am able to get around 240mbps speed in my living room, my router is upstairs. It was just plug and play. Works great.

    Super easy to setup and working well so far, it even came with a mini-cd with drivers in case you don't have any other way of getting the drivers copied to the machine.

    The product works great! The instructions were clear, My computer uploaded and installed the code and in no time, I was using WiFi, rather than an Ethernet! And that is exactly what I wanted.

    Who would have thought WiFi could be so easy! Small and powerful! Great download speeds and simple to connect. I should add that the pc this is used on is in a basement. Not real far, but through a floor. Definitely recommend!!

    It works but not continuously. When it loses the wifi signal when I set the computer down or the screen blacks out I have to reboot the computer to get the wifi signal to reconnect. I end up having to do that around 5 times a day. However it is better than buying a new computer when this one is only 2 1/2 years old.

    Great solution for my problem. Instead replacing a module, this device gave the wi fi my PC needed, with no problems. Easy installation. A but. If this brand could insert the software in the same device, it would be great. Since the CD unit is not available for so many pc and the problem is not getting internet it was hard to download teh software without wifi.
