    Bought this for my older tower that was not 4G compatible and it has helped me access the higher speeds. Also, the original network adapter on the tower does not always work and this is a great way to get around that.

    Needed a wireless adapter for my desktop. Picked this up on a recommendation from the Best Buy Rep. Got home home plugged it in and it was working in 10 minutes. Works great very fast but depends on what kind of internet connection you have. Did what I expected it to do.

    Simple install and much faster than the original wifi adapter in my laptop. I had to use this in order to connect to a new Nighthawk RAX-75 router, as the built in WIFI adapter would not connect correctly. Highly recommend!

    I am very happy with the ASUS Dual Band USB adapter. I was able to tune up my wifes laptop and add this USB WiFi adapter to get her about ten times the speed from what she was getting before. Speed test before and after confirmed the improvement!

    Great for it's size. It is a bit less robust when handling large amounts of data so I retired the adaptor. I would totally use it for a laptop.

    I bought this wireless network adapter for my grandfather's laptop and honestly it works great. His wireless card just stopped working and the cable was not working either. So I plugged this in and in 5 minutes he was up and running. Such a simple set up and use. He loves it.

    Once you get the driver installed this Wifi adapter works very well! The driver is installed off of an included mini CD. For some reason the installation of the driver takes some time, but once it's done it's great.

    Hubby gave his old system to our eldest and was in need of either a wifi cable or wife part for computer. This works real well and is not a cable eyesore.
