    Plug and play in Windows 10. Small footprint and much cheaper and faster than replacing Asus' defective wifi module attached to the motherboard. I have no idea if this is better or worse than competing products. I'd recommend someone use a wifi stick like this, not necessarily this wifi stick.

    I bought this for my PC. Easy drivers installation and very good connectivity. I had my PC in the bedroom and the router in the living, by buying this, I eliminated a trip hazard. I wish I would’ve done this long time ago. But it’s never too late as the pc is going nowhere.

    Bought this one because the integrated WiFi on my wife's laptop was dying. Has no problems getting a strong signal on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands from my router anywhere in the apartment. It's speedy for internet downloads and streaming, no complaints there.

    It was very easy to setup and works perfectly for my new pc build. My room is too far from my router but this is a very good and cheap alternative to a second router or extender. My wifi isn’t that great but this actually keeps a strong connection while I play games

    Was nervous about purchasing one of these dongles, as my father's computer was an older version. I was able to install the client on Windows without any issue, and within twenty minutes, was able to find and connect with my WIFI from a computer that seemed to lack wifi-connecting abilities.

    Works very well with asus motherboards. I have a ROG B550A Gaming and it worked so well. You can download the drivers from the internet instead of the disk.

    I've used this for about two weeks now with no major issue so far. I was a bit skeptical about the specs it had listed. But so far it has performed just as (or better) my previous Netgear which was 5x bigger in size and started having issue in couple of months. The only thing I've noticed so far is that it gets super hot after some use.

    This is a great option that allows me to get more life out of my 10+ years old computer. I've done about everything but paint it because I hate the ever more expensive options. It also is speedier than my installed WiFi even when it was new.

    My speed with a decent modem dropped and was registering 1-2. Tech friend suggested I use ethernet cable. After a couple months of yuk inconvenience, I acquired this unit. Intelligent install with mini DVD and I was in business with speeds up to 42 though I pay for a guaranteed 25.

    Simple straight forward in use. In home or small office. Serve it is purpose. If that is what you are looking for it will serve you well. Not for a wide range, just simple home or small office use. Hope you enjoy using it as I am in my crib. Simply put looks great. Thank you

    Connected immediately and continues to allow great speeds and hasn’t dropped in its signal. Connected it to an older Dell desktop due to rearranging, and putting the office downstairs while the router staid upstairs, and haven’t had a single problem with it with moderate to heavy usage.
