I bought this for an aging desktop that needed wi-fi in its new location. It was as simple as plugging the dongle-like unit into a USB port and finding the local wi-fi network in the computer's Settings menu. Performance is pretty good, matching the 120 mbps I get up/down on my other wi-fi devices.

Fast, tiny, good price point, and best of all, no drivers needed. Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 all have the driver natively. No messy software that sits in your system tray and slows your system down.

I needed a network adapter for my son’s laptop, that could only connect to a 2.4 ghz network. Came across this item and it was truly plug and play. He plays lots of online games and has not experienced any performance issues. Regular speed test shows that its getting 100+ mbps. Very satisfied with the purchase.

More pricey than the rest but certainly the smallest. I bought 2 - one for desktop and one for laptop. Never out of range inside the home. Lightning fast connection and speeds maintain throughout. This is the adapter that you just plug in and never worry about it again. Super small too that it won't get in the way.

I would really recommend this product. All of my games run at really low ping and it reaches pretty far from the router.

For any computer mechanic, this is a must. I build pc and sometimes when you install windows, it doesnt install wifi or ethernet adapter and you will be stuck since windows 11 requires internet inorder to install it. This will save you tons of hustle!
In terms of connectivity, its pretty good for the price. Not soo much that its a life changer but its pretty good.
It is also plug and play

Plug it in and pair your headphones/speaker. It simply works perfectly. My wife's laptop did not have BT installed so this was a great solution. It's so tiny that she can leave it installed in a USB port permanently and it's barely noticeable. Tested from about 35 feet away and it is clear and strong.

I purchased this because my laptop stopped connecting to wifi, and I was told I'd need an external wifi receiver to fix the issue.
The previous one I had stuck out an inch, and my children broke it. This one is as small as it can get while still being able to be easily removed, and small enough that I can leave it plugged in without worrying about it getting broken.
The price is good. Significantly lower cost than other comparable products.
I recommend it!

Small and compact. No issues installing. Big difference now I'm able to connect with the 5GHz band on a Windows 7 laptop. Speeds up to the maximum of my internet plan.

This wifi adapter worked great right out of the box. It is small and fit on my tablet and my laptop without any problems. Much better than the stick wifi adapter I had before. Speed is great and the little led light lets me know it is working. Love this product.

The wifi in my laptop quit working (and it's an expensive laptop). The dongle allowed a way around that. Was very easy to use, just plugged it, set the wifi connection and I'm back in business. Performance is as good as built-in wifi (when it was working).

This little guy is not only much smaller then the Linksys equivalent but, it is also faster and a lower price. Yes, it supports packet injection and port scanning.

My wife had a very good Win7 computer that had active Lan but no Wireless capability. The Dual Band AC1200 USB Network Adapter added WI-FI instantly on plugin. The quality and strength leave nothing to desire. The product wsas easy to set up, had adequate instructions and flawless operation. she now has Wi-Fi speed to match my new Win10 computer with very little cost. Thanks Best Buy for sales people who were able to guide me to a fine product and answere all my concerns. I recomend this product to anyone needing Wi-Fi added to a computer.

I picked this up to use in a factory setting with very poor signal strength. I was surprised that I had no issues connecting with this small USB adapter with no antenna. I was able to get internet connected to the system and complete my job. Definitely recommend if your looking for something compact that works well. If you travel often like I do, it's nice to have compact and efficient tools.
