    I use a MAC air, and needed to get online training done on an AKO and JKO site. Plugged it into my computer out the CAC in and it automatically configured and I was conducting the training in minutes.

    Great reader allows to get tasking done at home I'd typically have to stay late at work for. Connects easy although getting the certs to work right away isn't as easy one would like but doesn't add much time to the process.

    This device was very easy to use. I plugged it in to my Windows 10 computer, then chose a website needing a CAC, and had no problem accessing the website.

    If you need a CAC card reader this will work. If you have a government issued CAC you will probably need to do some research online to get it to work correctly. That's not Belkins fault. That's just from the governments network structure.

    Works great on PIV cards. The activity light is really handy (my last one did not have one), as I can verify when the PC is actively reading.

    Not much to review. Works as described. No set up at all, just plug it in and it’s ready. Status lights are helpful to know it’s reading.
