    Plug and play on an old A6 chip on a computer where the WiFi gave out. What a fabulous product to just plug in and hip on the net. It was faster than what came with the system and more secure.

    ASUS-Dual Band connected me to my Network with no problems. I have had it in place for over a month and have had no problems. In fact I think it is a stronger signal than the original one that went out on my desk top computer.

    I needed a quick fix for a desktop computer to hook up to the Wi-Fi that was available at a specific location. This worked great and I was up and running in no time at all.

    the wifi adapter in an older dell laptop would not stay connected to the internet. after an evaluation by the geek squad, it was recommended to just replace it with this easy to add adapter. Within a couple of minutes the laptop was back to fully connected status with no incremental stoppage for internet access. really easy replacement for a defective wifi adapter.

    Bought this for a small form factor HP. Good price and easy setup. Happy that Asus included the website on the paperwork for the driver as my machine does not have a disk drive. Would buy again.

    My old wifi card driver expired and I had no access to internet to download the new driver. Went to Best Buys to get a coax, but the staff person suggested I get this instead. I bought it and plugged it in and it too 10-15 seconds to start up and has worked perfectly ever since (about a month)... I'm very pleased and would recommend it to anyone.

    Not reliable interface

    While it works, it does not do so over time. It often requires resetting the WiFi driver to reestablish connection. Clearly there is a conflict between the driver and Windows 11. Only works with direct connection to the laptop. Its being used as Windows 11 changed support of the laptop WiFi port hardware. Windows 11 is the source of the WiFi link problems and will not do anything to correct the WiFi driver.
