My main complaint with this is it's large size. I wanted something more compact and discreet. For the price, you might as well buy a new network card and get it installed to your PC

It works as advertised! You need a hard wired connection to download the driver which was alittle bit of a pain. Would be five stars if the driver was included.

Seems to work as intended. Currently using it in USB 2.0 slot for an older computer, cannot give a proper rating until an upgraded computer is purchased

Adaptor or connector?

The adaptor has qualities of an adaptor I wouldn’t typically expect from a similar adaptor. Mainly the fact that it doesn’t adapt but rather connect. Other than that it is precisely operating as designed within the confines of connecting an adaptor to a connector of an item that needs connecting, not adapting. TLDR this will connect but won’t adapt.

I installed this on a gifted older computer for my son on the opposite side of a 3800 square foot house from our router. It gets a strong connection (better than my iPhone 5s). I can't speak to any specific data rates or other capacity metics and it's not used for games but streams video just fine.

This is my second Bluetooth device. This one doesn't have an over-the-ear loop. Instead, an extra piece gently pushes against cartilage in the ear. Very comfortable, easy to put in place, and the sound quality is fabulous. I only wish it came in another color because it gets lost in my bag.

New desktop computer location is only in wireless proximity of my router so I chose a USB 3.0 option for wireless network capability and it handles my broadband demands without interruption.

Purchased this to replace an older model. Thought it would increase signal but failed to eliminate connectivity issues. I ended up just running 50ft of cable to the bedroom. Turns out the saying you get what you pay for isn't always true. If you want to stick to WiFi I just recommend moving your modem closer or vice versa.

I recently got an router with ac capabilities so thought I would try this antenna. However, it is bulky and did not give sufficient increase in performance for me. I returned item. May be useful to gamer with older wireless connection.

Needed wifi on 2 older desktops at my office. These did the trick. Not completely plug n play. I did have to read the instructions to go to the website to download the drive.

Make sure you install the drivers before attaching it to your Windows PC. Also, it must be plugged into a USB3 port to function properly. Range is ok, and transmission rate are consistent with Wi-Fi 5. I also recommend that you attach it to a top or front mounted USB port.

This was required as Microsoft Surface Pro3 internal WiFi failed for the third time. Microsoft Store Personnel said they would attempt
to repair Surface Three but removed some built in features. External
WiFi is working now.

I installed this on a Windows 10 Home system. Following the instructions, it installed quickly and easily. The reception seems acceptable, as the Netgear AC2200 Range Extender is about 40 feet away (indoors, through three walls). I'm happy with how well it's working.

moved to new house where he couldn't cable directly into router and he was worried about connection speeds for his gaming--No worries! He hasn't noticed a drop in performance since he went to wireless using this adaptor.

I needed a wireless adapter in a pinch. I had just moved and this worked really well for my desktop. I had to stay in an extended stay hotel for s short period that only had wireless internet. This guy was on sale and worked without any problems. I would recommend if needed too.
