    The Linksys wireless adapter provides inconsistent internet access. I would recommend using a built in wireless adapter.

      Hi, Baby,

      It is best to use a Wireless-AC adapter to connect to a router that supports the Wireless-AC standard to achieve the maximum connection speed. Updating the driver can also improve its functionality. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected] should you need assistance with the device. We have our Escalation Engineers who are always ready to give you a hand.

    Very disappointed in this product. I expected much better quality and service from Linksys! Could not get this Adpter to work. The driver was in a zip file which requires you to have the Zip File wizard program. I paid for theZip Wizard which after downloading and installing did diddly squat to help open the drivet file. Went to the Linksys site to get help...no such thing! No technical or customer service AT ALL ! got my money back from the Zip Wizard Uninstalled the Zip drive and took the piece of junk back! I would revommend that Best Buy Discontinue selling this product!

    This product was easy to setup and everything. the only downfall from what I noticed was the connection speeds. just wasn't fast enough for what I needed it for. If you are patient with waiting for your internet pages and other programs to load this might be good for you. I intended to use this on my backup office computer at home and it did not meet my expectations at all.

      Hi, Mawmaw,

      We regret to hear that you've already returned the WUSB6300 Wireless Adapter. We could have tapped one of our Escalation Engineers to sort this out for you. As for the product's compatibility, it should work perfectly with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

      If you have other Linksys device that you need assistance with, feel free to email us at [email protected], anytime.

      Hi,

      We might need to check the placement of the extender as well as the driver that it’s running on. Feel free to tap us next time at [email protected] should you decide to try another Linksys product and will encounter any challenge. We’d be happy to check it out for you before you consider returning it.

    Linksys worked better than Asus. However, this is really a bad review against Best Buy as they would not exchange product after 15 days, so I had to waste $40 rather than exchange. Inexcusable considering the options these days. Will stop shopping at Bestbuy.

    It works most of the time, once in a while it will randomly drop the connection. It may not be the adapter's fault and it may just be that I need a range booster, which I'm skeptical about since the router is only 20 feet away in another room.

      Hi, Robert,

      Try to relocate the affected device. You may also try power cycling it or try plugging in the Linksys WUSB6300 to another device and observe the connection. Update us then over email at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review, for reference so we can have it checked with our Escalation Engineers.
