OK in windows
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works fine in Windows 10 with a middle of the road signal to the wifi AP. I could not get this drive to work in several other operating systems though. It does not work with FreeBSD, MidnightBSD or OpenBSD. It might be ok in Linux, but I haven't tested it there. If you are just using windows, it's a fine choice. Doesn't take up much space and it's out of the way.

I would recommend this to a friend Fast WiFi adapter
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WiFi speed on my 2-yr old Dell XPS laptop suddenly dropped to almost nothing (around 1-3 Mbs/s). I still have no idea what happened... I suspect somebody screwed up the latest driver, but I and my IT guy couldn't find any fix. So I figured I'd try this as a workaround. I disabled the laptop adapter and plugged this in. Without the driver, the speed was crazy bad (0.03). But after installing the driver, I'm getting speeds ranging from 40-110 (depending on the network)! My only gripe is the speed has disappeared a couple times. Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver fixed it, but that's pretty annoying. Hopefully it doesn't happen too often.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was pleasantly surprised by this device. Provided good coverage and speed for its size. Obviously wouldn't have the greatest range given its lack of antennas, but for fairly close stuff, it's excellent.

Nice low profile wireless adapter.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for an older Asus laptop that had the wireless card go out. Once the drivers were installed from the included disc, it connected to the internet and hasn't disconnected once.
