    Plugged it in, found networks instantly works like a charm. Not doing any intense gaming or anything with this device but works great for the needs of this specific machine. No driver necessary other than what windows did on its own. Windows 10 20h2

    Received a computer at work that didn't have WiFi capability and we couldn't do an ethernet cable because of the computer's location. This little USB thing worked, but not as great as something with an antenna. If you want big power, this isn't it. If you want something that works decent and is small, go for it.

    Fast speeds for everyday functions. Also gaming in most situations, specifically when there are few others using WiFi (Slow upload speeds could be an issue with spectrum internet when gaming). Plug and play compatible for Windows 10.

    Was received very quickly and took only minutes to get up and running. Checking my Wifi speeds, looks like it doubled...it is noticeably faster. My Dell is 5 years old and was notorious for not having a good WiFi card in it, this solved that issue.

    This was not my first choice but the store was out of the other one I wanted that was lower priced and on sale. Very pleased with the performance. Had a little issue with the setup as it looked like the sw didn’t finish downloading. Removed it did download a second time and got the same results but device worked fine

    Good price for the quality. I have been using it far from my router with only rare connection issues on the 5hz band. It is not plug & use. Must download the driver before using it, but this is simple to do. This is the only reason it is not 5 stars.

    Works pretty well. It can get signal from some distance with low loss. Only ran into issues when the adapter was on the back of the computer which was next to the wall I lost connection. All I had to do to fix it was to plug it into the front usb port, havent lost signal since

    Work very well for upgrading the wifi speed on my older laptop. when I work remotely it isn't the best at picking up signals, I'd guess due to its small size. But for most everyday use it's a good, affordable upgrade. Eay set up.

    ASUS Wi-Fi Adapter

    This is meh. I put this in my daughter's gaming rig. It sits one floor up and a couple walls away from a very powerful gaming router. It does not have great signal strength no matter which USB port it's in. It drops connection quite often which makes her complain a bit. Every other device in the same room (xbox, switch, smart TV, cellphone) shows max signal strength and never drops off. I give it three stars only because when it is connected and working, it provides great speeds. If you plan on buying this, make sure you are within 10-15 feet of the router with maybe one wall in-between. You will probably be happy with it if that's how your home is set up.

    This is a good basic, small wireless adapter for a desk top or a laptop. I do wish that it had a stronger antenna for our wireless signal. It allows us to do basic tasks on our desk top with our hot spot. I would get again or recommend for basic wireless use.

    Bought this for a desktop PC in our basement to go cordless on that device. That let us put the wireless router on the first floor of the house instead, allowing the router to provide a much better signal to 2nd floor devices. It gets good reception and is definitely worth the price.
