    This little $40 item saved me some major heartburn and allowed me not to replace a wireless daughter-card in a laptop.

    Works but Speed is Meh

    Product installation was easy, but the speed was disappointing, I was only getting around 5 Mbps because my desktop PC is in a corner of the room. I ended up buying a different and cheaper product with an antenna and that one giving me around 100 Mbps speed. Tested both products next day and had very similar result, I ended up returning this USB adapter.

    Replaced my home modem. My laptop could not recognize the modem because my laptop wi-fi adapter was too old. I installed the Asus AX1800 USB wi-fi adapter & software and preso!, it worked perfectly.

    Small for factor makes it easy to use on a laptop without a large adapter extending out the side. USB Flash drive that come included with firmware is easy to install & update. The reception once installed is excellent. Great product!

    Amazing how tiny WiFi adapters have become. Super tiny, yet still able to communicate at distance from access points. Maybe the only downside is it's so small it might be easy to lose.

    Speed was great and set up was a breeze with the included USB driver, but the range was quite lacking and would drop speed fast when not close to source. Would not recommend for desktop setups but will work much better for laptops or portable devices. I ended up getting the tp-link WiFi card it's bigger but has much greater range with the same speeds and a great price for those who want one for a desktop

    overall great connectivity. but, surprisingly, when i installed it on the back of my computer, which was surrounded by two walls and a wood desk, the connectivity was inconsistent. there is ample space around the device. i had no idea some wood would block signals, even a little. also had the same issue with wireless devices (mouse, keyboard) connected by a usb transmitter. strange. so i moved this unit to the front, where it still is low profile, but as a result does take up a usb port that's easier to access, which would be useful if i were inserting other devices such as usb drive, etc.
