This adapter is an easy way to go wireless once you have wireless in the house, this adapter will give you a better wireless connection from any where in the house. It also stops dropouts with multiple users.

My old adapter went out, so I went on Best Buy’s website and found this one. They delivered to the store that same day and I was up and running again. My internet is back to its old self.

We moved recently and apparently the wifi usb was broken off of our gaming computer. I bought this one and we are back in business. Seems to work just fine as I've heard zero complaints.

My Dell laptop’s WiFi chip was not working. I have to purchase the emergency WiFi USB adapter. Yes! I was able to use the internet for my work commitment.

Mediocre adapter. It fails to connect to wireless about 20% of the time - so expect to spend 10-20 minutes every 3-4 days fussing with the settings, rebooting multiple times, or reinstalling software. When it is working the speed is OK. We have 200 Mbs service, this adapter picks up about 60-105 Mbs at a distance of 35 feet. It is also touchy about USB slots, only 1 of my 2 USB3.0 slots consistently works (if you consider the above resetting scenario "consistent").

Hi, LAM3,
You should experience a stable wireless connection once this adapter is installed. If you are using this on a laptop, then disable the built-in wireless card as it may have caused confusion to the computer. Also, make sure that its driver is updated. It would be best if you’ll email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so we can have you assisted by our Escalation Engineers.
Regards,
Irish Linksys Support

Plugged it in, loaded the driver and it connects. No problems with it. It's fairly close to the WAP so I don't know what the full range is, but I wouldn't use this if I needed to go a long distance.

Keeps disconnecting, leading to interruption of service. Tried on other computers and next works as well, still leads to the same problem. Has great speed however.

Hi, BraO,
Ensure that you're using the latest version of the driver and inspect for potential sources of interference around the adapter, such as other wireless or Bluetooth devices, as well as large metal objects. If interference is detected, attempt to relocate the adapter to a less congested area to improve stability.
If these measures fail to resolve the issue, please reach out to us at [email protected] for further assistance. Remember to provide your contact information and reference this review for our records.

Having placed my old comuputer in the garage, I needed a Wi-Fi that would penetrate the two levels and distance to operate my old computer. I have great connection showing on the Wi-Fi level indicator.

Not the best price, but it does perform better than the 10-15 dollar usb wifi adapters.

I needed an alternative to replacing the network adapter on my laptop and this works well, although the antenna is not as far reaching as the laptop antenna. Still was a great cost savings.

Got this adapter to replace my on-board wifi. It was lacking in 5Ghz performance and signal pickup. This adapter resolves that issue giving me way better bandwidth and connectivity with 5Ghz networks.

Once I got home to my computer, the CD did not allow me to install the program, so the item was returned to Best Buy. Very nice people who recommended the item and upon return.
