    This was $30 and I didn’t have to run a CD or anything. Popped it in and it fired right up

    I have Google mesh wifi and there are only 2 places for plug-ins. One is my internet cable and the other I have my Philips Hue bridge plugged into. My employer gave me a desktop computer for my work from home, and there wasn't anywhere to hook it up to my internet, so I bought this, put it into one of the USB ports on the computer, and it hooked right in to my wifi network. I highly recommend it.

    Bought this for a DIY project to make the IoT device go online to download some dependencies,but its not plug n play, came with a old school type micro CD to install drivers for it, even just tried in my windows laptop(it has wifi adapter though) but its very slow even its dual band, so had to return, given 5 star for its small size, may be useful for old desktop or laptop with busted wifi adapter.

    this little unit is very good. I was worried it would not be able to connect the the network from the distance I was going to be using it but it Has an amazing signal strength. Only issue i ended up having was I had to go download drivers and software before it would work. they do tell you in the directions everything very clearly so it was not a big issue.

    Works great when your IT department won't allow older network cards to access the network, but the device is still compliant. Typically plug-n-play, but has a mini cd if you have access to a cd reader these days...

    Didn't know they even make one of these. My on-board card went out and I thought I was screwed for sure. Geek Squad sold us one of these. Works great.

    Super simple and helped the issue of my Lenovo laptop not recognizing the Xfinity wifi connection. Simply plugged it in to one of the usb ports on the laptop and BAM! Laptop connected instantly and all I had to do was sign in to my account. Guy at Best Buy assured me this is how it world work and it did!

    My Lenovo onboard wifi card just died out of nowhere. Needed a USB Wifi asap and Best Buy had it in stock. Easy to install and was able to pickup the signal and got us connected again.

    range is not good for wi fi connection, had to put this in the same room as my router as signal from this adapter was not strong enough to connect upstairs. works great in same room faster than ethernet , did not need to use ethernet connect, just buy this to connect, however realize range is limited.
