    Bought this as a filler until I get a proper wireless card for my computer. Pretty easy setup. My internet isn't the fastest, so I'm not sure I can truly say how fast it is. But, it works and that's what's important for my setup.

    It works pretty good for a plug and play device. It's really only going to be as good as your wifi signal so don't expect magic. Otherwise it does what it is supposed to.

    Bought this to enhance speed of a couple of older laptops. Mission accomplished. May not be the newest wifi adapter but provides good enough speed for what I do. But it probably would not be for gaming.

    When buying this product I was initially very skeptical. I thought that there was no way it could do what it claimed. The other products that did the exact same thing which were much larger and cost more. Sure enough it was everything I needed and I haven't had a problem with it at all.

    These sort of wireless adapters make for convenient addon wireless solutions. Just a word of warning, if you have a slower-speed processor, or an older generation computer, you may encounter sluggishness at the OS level simply because so much overhead is being used for networking processes in the background. If you're on a desktop, my best workaround for this was to simply go with a wireless extender as an external access point - since I couldn't run ethernet throughout the place I'm renting (the owner wouldn't let me even run cables around baseboards etc), and then to run ethernet from my PC to the extender.

    I wasn't getting internet on my computer so brought to Geek squad. I was afraid they would have to send it out or I would be buying a new one. The young man came up with the idea for me to buy the USB dual adapter. Works great and only $40!!! Woo Hoo!!!

    Great device to get the coverage needed when you’re in an in excessive spot to signal. Quick hook up and was able to create the network access on the fly needed. Worth the investment as you are able to swap into other devices on the go.

    This is so easy to use it's not even funny. But keep in mind you may need a CD player to install the drivers. (I didn't have access to a hard-wired LAN) Function was perfect, including available bandwidth on the WiFi network I was using at an extended stay hotel.
