    I needed something to replace my wifi card that quit working. And I wanted something inexpensive. I've been using this for about three weeks and so far no issues. I just plugged it into a USB hub I bought and it was working in no time.

    Does the job if you’re close to WiFi signal. Easy to set up, I installed the software through the Asus website. Doesn’t work with WiFi 6 so it’s not the fastest.

    Bought it since my Surface Pro 3 did not support the WiFi protocols at one of the offices where I work. Put the dongle in the USB port, enabled it, and got on the WiFi without a problem. Saves me from upgrading my Surface for at least another year or so.

    Replacement for an ASUS Laptop with known issues

    I bought this wifi dongle for a Best Buy ASUS laptop that had suddenly failed. As I researched, ASUS laptops have a reputation of having their Intel wifi chipsets burn out. Their solution was a costly repair, and 3-6 weeks without the laptop. This dongle, for $39, solved the problem minus all the drama. Recommend Best Buy give customers of ASUS equipment one of these free with purchase. It will certainly increase customer satisfaction when the laptop card fries.
