    Wow. This was a great wifi USB device for our desktop. Literally is plug and play and nothing complicated to it. Fast speeds and works well with our wireless router even though it's up stairs and the router is down stairs. Would definitely recommend.

    One of my laptops is over 4 years old. I have so many things on it, that I don't want to get rid of it. You can call the old girl my workhorse laptop! I got rid of the old WM HDD and upgraded it to a Samsung SSD. Things are running a lot faster, but I was still getting only 2ghz wifi. This little gizmo enabled my old laptop with 5ghz! Simply hook it up to one of your USB ports, install the driver, and that's it!

    The dongle is very minimalistic. However, it could get a bit hot when use for long period of time. Also, the speed is decent. Not superfast but good for its size

    Works great under normal conditions, but be ware of hot weather. They get really hot. Having one that sticks out further helps with the heat and is more effective in detecting a signal. Of course, the more it sticks out, the more likely it is to get damaged, but I don't trust this little one anymore - does not work in many settings were the signal is weak or the temperature is high.

    Great little trinket; I needed internet on my PC, had no way of being able to hardwire in and so was in need to making Wifi available to my PC, went to Best Buy to ask about how to go about doing that, and this was one of I think three products that they sold that would do what I needed it to. I believe this was the best/fastest option they had (something to do with the number after "AC" -- "AC1200"), and IIRC it was the same price as a "lesser" option, so I just went with this one. It was the best ~$40 I had spent in a while! Does exactly what it's meant to: provides Wifi to a PC that doesn't otherwise have the ability to connect to Wifi. I was using it to play online video games such as League of Legends and Warframe; no lag or DC issues that stemmed from this little magic-box that I know of! Best of all, IIRC, it's basically "plug-and-play", so you can just stick it into your PC's USB port, run the wizard that opens right up for you, and wait the 15 seconds it takes to "set up" and you're good to game! Definitely recommend this little thing. I'm hardwired in now, permanently, but this thing is so little and such a lifesaver that I've just left it in the port so I don't end up losing it, should I need it again someday!

    Dual band connectivity for standard and 5G WiFi networks this little thing is soooo small so you barely notice it's even there and there is no disc or software needed for this to work, Windows 10 automatically installed the drivers for this device and the interface/process on connecting to a wifi network is identical to a Windows computer that has a wifi card built in to it.

    Absolutely user friendly to setup. This product ships with a small usb device containing installation drivers. The low profile is great. Other manufacturers usb wifi's extend out from laptop usb port and must be removed when traveling to prevent inadvertent damage.

    Small in size, big on delivery. I replace a much bigger, failing dongle. This one is almost invisible and has performed 100% more than 30 feet from the wifi modem. It was recommended by a Geek who said he used it personally and it was not the highest-priced model. Great recommendation by a pro.

    Ive been able to use wifi on my desktop now without having to buy an expensive wifi card. I enjoy the lack of yet another cord strung over my room.
