    Does the trick when your adapter card doesn't work

    My internet adapter card was beyond fixing without a replacement. This USB adapter was easy- less trouble than finding a card and doing a replacement. Might have a little trouble with distance or getting covered up by something (your arm). It's small and out of the way.

    Plug and play. Works well for my desktop that did not have WIFI. It can handle speeds faster than my router can provide so no issues there.

    Works surprisinglybwell for it's small size. 2 gripes: the driver comes on a half-DVD. Not a big problem as at least it provides a driver and software. Also, it's small and can get stuck in some tight USB ports.

    Does what it says it will

    This little tyke does what it says it will do, but I felt like it was overpriced. I also noticed some spelling errors in the software that just made it feel unprofessional. Bottom line is, radio devices need as much antenna as they can get, so you'll need to be pretty close to your WiFi source with this little guy, but once connected it has steady and high speed throughput, and installation in my win10 laptop was truly plug and play.

    An alternative to replacing your network adapter

    A great alternative to replacing your network adapter. You can just plug this into a USB port rather than dismantling your laptop and replacing you network adapter card if it goes bad... Like mine did.

    Cannot believe how great this Network Adapter is. Best reception and quite little. So small that you hardly notice it plugged into your laptop. Have to admit this little guy beat my Linksys and Netgear!

    Bought this adapter to replace a physically damaged adapter. Not quite plug and play, but no problem loading the driver. Keeps my old laptop connected as the internal wifi failed some time ago.

    We had moved my Mom's WiFi to the other end of the house and had no cable to put into her computer as it had been before. My Brother recommended buying her this adapter. It worked like a charm! We’re very happy now, her computer is online and working well!

    Hard to believe this thing works so well when a PCI card requires more effort to achieve the same goal. Don’t misplace it or you’ll be trying to get it to work with the random mouse laying around.
