    Works pretty good. Do not follow instructions that come with it, just plug it in. Your computer will recognize it and install the correct device driver.

    Bought this for my mom's computer since her computer doesn't have Wi-Fi. Switching service provides required the modem to be relocated away from her computer. It is not the fastest you can buy, but it is more than adequate for what my mom needs. She is only 20 feet from the wireless modem so there is no loss of speed due to distance or interior walls. Very compact, driver disk included or a web address if you do not have a DVD drive.

    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.

    More stable than my last USB network dongle. The range is quite small in comparison though. I used to get 5 bars on my old one this one only goes to 4. But the rate is consistently solid and I havent had any issues with it yet. Does get a little hot quickly though.

    This is a great product for adding wireless access to a USB device or desktop computer. I was skeptical of the effective range, since it does not have an antennae, but it works well and I have not had any issues.

    Easy set up and great connection. My internal Wi-Fi on my laptop was bogging down and making life and work miserable. I installed the driver, plugged this in, and the wizard did everything else. Wi-Fi speed was noticeably better. Even got a second one for my wife’s laptop! My home Wi-Fi router is also Asus, but this Wi-Fi adapter works great when using my laptop at work and on vacation.

    Easy to use, plug&play, no need to use disk provided unless older technology require it. Even a tech savy person can use it as long you listen to what I say here, do not use on older technology as old as 2015 and before. Some features require to promote you to then use the disk if it doesn't identifying it right away.

    I got this for my son to be able to log into the internet on his computer, in lieu of a larger form factor 802.11ac wifi adapter. Sitting within a couple of feet, the range on this one was is not spectacular. He was able to reach, but was only getting 1 bar of coverage, while the larger form factor 2 feet away was getting 4-5 bars. It does work well, though, and the price was great!

    Not being a tech guru & after some research I decided to buy this. I inherited a pc from my deceased brother. It would not connect to the internet. I bought this adapter so at least I hoped to connect through wi-fi. It works great. I would recommend. Easy to use.
