    The washer and dryer I purchased are the perfect size for my needs. I can easily fit a king size comforter in both.

    I just got one of these a few days ago and it was easy to install and works flawlessly . I got a 30%+ speed increase using it on the 5GHZ .I use speedtest.net and it logs the results of your test. I was getting 16 or 17 mb/s on average and I am getting 27 or 28 mb/s now. it is very noticeable speed increase .I only wish i did this a long time ago.

    First thing I had to do was install the driver for my USB 3 ports because they had never been used. After that I followed the three steps inside the disk holder and in a short time it was ready for use. I love the home network speed that I get now from my desktop and WD My Cloud. I also have the Linksys WRT1900AC router.

    I used it on a backup machine. Setup was flawless and quick. It connected at nearly full strength, which is good considering that the machine is located in my basement, at the opposite end of the house from the router, with the router on the main floor. It was a good bargain for the price, and a much easier/cheaper option than running another ethernet cable.

    Is review is of the Linksys Dual-Band AC1200 USB 3.0 adapter. I got this for a client in my IT practice who was getting frequent disconnect from their old Netgear N150 USB wireless adapter. They are in an area where their are a lot of wireless networks making for a crowded 2.4Ghz landscape. Their dual band AC access point and this adapter let them use the less crowded 5Ghz band. This unit got installed on a Windows 7 Pro desktop. Just plug it into a USB 3.0 or 2.1 port, put the included CD into the drive and install the setup, configure the desired access point's SSID and bingo you are up and running. Just that simple and no reboot required. Since installing the new adapter there have been zero drops and accessing files on their Networked file server is noticeably faster. One thing I would change is how the adapter sticks way out from the USB port on the back of their computer. I can hope that Linksys might consider making a shorter model with a swiveling antenna. The long profile presents a risk of mechanically damaging the adapter and/or the usb port. In conclusion this adapter addressed the disconnect problem of the old adapter effectively and boosted performance after a super easy install and config. Even with the long profile that's still a winning combination for my clients and me and worthy of 5 stars. Hope this helps someone.

    This is a very good adapter. The installation was very fast and easy, and it is done almost completely automatically. Even in areas where wifi signal is not very strong, the adapter has no problem providing a good connection. It's compatibility USB 3.0 boosts transfer speed and makes faster interaction with the card and your computer, increasing responsiveness and in turn increasing the speed of the reception and output of signal. This adapter is as good or better than any PCI/PCIe wifi card. And for those who are gamers it is a very good card for any game.

    Setup was super easy on my Dell T3610. The wife needed a wifi solution for her Dell desktop since she now works from home. The computer only came with an ethernet port, there was no built in wifi. Had a 50 foot ethernet cable stretched across the house as a temporary solution, then found this neat little item. Works great, and was compatible with my Verizon router. Internet speed is great,, there is no lag at all. Just plugs right in to any USB 3.0 port and you're in business. Can't recommend this enough!

    Bought this for my son's gaming laptop that was having issues with the built in wifi. It works exactly as expected. Just plugged it in and he had no problem getting it configured. No issues with losing connectivity and getting the expected speed. Great performance for a relatively low cost option.

    I wasn't sure at the time of purchase if this product would work with my system or not. I had purchased a used PC from a yard sale that did not have a wireless card already installed and had a vista OS (operating system). But according to the tiny print on the box the Linksys wireless adapter is supposed to work with vista SP1 or later, win 7 SP1 or later, XP SP3, win 8, win 8.1. But the other thing I had to consider was that I was using my landlords wireless internet - so would this particular adapter be able to connect from my house to theirs? The answer is YES. I've had the adapter plugged into the front and at times the back of the CPU and it works great in either place. I have no complaints - only praise! Purchased this Nov. 18th and it is now Dec. 20th and still working great. Plus, Best Buy unlike Office Depot had told me in Nov. that when I made the purchase if it did not work that I had until Jan. 2015 to return it. :-) Great Service!

    this USB wifi adapter let my computer connect to my wireless router and access the internet without the need for an Ethernet cord. Make sure you use the CD first before plugging it into the USB connection otherwise it will not work. It is a USB 3.0 but I am using it in a 2.0 port and it works just fine. I have been using this Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter for 3 weeks with no issues. I just Love it and recommend it for anyone who does not have Wi-Fi in there computer!

    Bought this for a desktop I was moving away from my router. Installed quickly and painlessly. Put desktop under a desk and had very little signal. This computer is only about twenty feet from the router, so that was a little frustrating. Got a USB extension cable to get it out from under the desk and was much better, but still not full bars. Does the job though, speed and ping acceptable.

    Upgraded my Asus desktop PC to Win10 from 8.1 and learned my built-in wifi card was not compatible with it. Kept having constant interruptions even though my signal was fine on literally ever other device around me. Plugged this into my PC, install was super simple, and now my internet works like a charm!

    This wireless adapter is faster than the wired internet in my house and picks up a strong signal in the most difficult part of the house. I’m getting 185mbs and no drop-outs or lag time. It’s easy to install and works perfectly on a USB 3.0 plug.

    I got this adapter because I moved my PC to an area where I didn't have a wired connection. This adapter was easy to install once you installed the required software. It paired easily with my D-Link router. It connected on the 5 GHz band so there is less interface. It maintains a good, reliable connection. I would recommend this adapter to anyone looking to get a dependable wireless adapter.

    Easy to use, plug and play and has a good range. Shows the 3.0 blue in the plug slot to match up. Considerably faster than 2.0. Bought 6 of them for family members to use at their houses.

    This is a decent product, instructions are pretty clear on how to get kt set up. Only think ill say is i had to use my laptop to get the drivers downloaded before i use it (per the instructions) since my pc didnt have any connection to the net. If you’re putting your pc up against a wall becareful especially if plug it up to the back of the pc, as it sticks out pretty far.

    The USB adapter came with easy to use directions that anyone could follow and install and begin to use this unit. It has good range and allows for quick interactions. No wires or anything to hook up. Just plug it in to the USB port when instructed. Have your password for the pouter ready too.
