Good WiFi addition
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small, easy to install, WIndows 10 recognized it right away and get speeds up to 533Mbps, probably could higher if had a more modern WiFi Router. Recommended.

Great little adapter for general use!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We placed a spare desktop computer in my son's room and this little Asus adapter gave him the ability to access the internet and play his online games with friends. Installation was a breeze, first running the install from the included CD and then just a matter of plugging in the adapter after the driver install. Like a bluetooth adapter for a mouse, this item is small and for high bandwidth/speed requirements you might want to consider something else... but for general use on the internet, it works great!

Does the job.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I plugged it in and worked as I ended right away. I was missing the internal antenna and decided to get this for the ease of use and low cost. Works perfectly and so small.

Works as needed: read the insert, disc goes in fir
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up an older PC (Windows 8) for someone and it needed wifi connectivity. I searched and this was an option from a brand I recognized as a good option and it was on sale. I was able to pick it up the same day and set it up. You need to put the disc in first to install the driver for the device before plugging in the USB. I installed the driver and plugged it in. It did take a little long to begin allowing me to find the network, but once I connected, she was good.

Purchased for business user to work from home.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We just could not believe how poorly this device performed when we tried using it. Windows installed the driver automatically, but we also downloaded the latest driver for Windows 10 64-bit from the ASUS support website (latest version is from 2020). It did not really make much of a difference as the speeds were absolutely horrible. We started out only getting up to 3 Mbps speeds using USB 2.0 port and about 2 Mbps with USB 3.0 ports. Once we downloaded the drivers instead of using the Windows drivers, it improved to an incredible top speed of 27 Mbps, which is slower than the standard 54 Mbps speeds for slower WiFi from years ago. The user had fiber optic connection at home and her laptop was getting up to 300 Mbps using the laptop's built-in wireless adapter. I also took the device to my office at work and tried it there. Pretty much the same results with a top speed of just about 30 Mpbs on USB 2.0 and only 10 Mbps using USB 3.0! I used to think that ASUS adapters were trustworthy but I no longer believe that. Atrocious performance and the fact that the drivers are 3 years old and that's the best we could get out of it pretty much tells me all that I need to know. I do not recommend purchasing this unless you don't mind the slow speeds and it just fits your budget needs. From what I read, this is supposed to get much much better speeds but it didn't seem to happen. Sorry ASUS, you just lost a customer. I included photos of speed tests for this adapter and another that I will actually be keeping. One photo is USB 2.0 speed, then the even slower USB 3.0 speed, followed by the Linksys adapter which was great.

ASUS - Dual-Band AC1200 USB Network Adapter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works pretty good for both 2.4 & 5.0 Ghz. Only concern is that the device can get hot the touch so I do not know how this will affect performance over time.

Better than I was expecting
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My computer was hard wired prior to purchasing this Network Adapter. It wont have the speed using it as opposed to direct Internet connection, but I was surprised by how well it does work. If you're just using your computer for general purposes, this will be all that you'll need.
