I installed this at the suggestion of Geek Squad staff. My internet speed had been very inconsistent for months and this USB has solved the problem. Speed is consistent and fast.

It does what we need it to do. We have a desktop that isn’t WiFi capable, so we bought this and have no trouble connecting to the WiFi. Provides fast internet and no lag

This was for a new work computer that was going to be stranded in the internet desert. However, this wireless internet adapter works really well, is fast, and helps me to get the job done.

This product has been everything I expected to help me relocate a desktop computer in my residence. Once you install the drivers from the supplied disk it is a simple plug in and login.

Great to get rid of that cable between the computer and the router. In our case, the distance was too great to run a line to our desktop; the adapter solved the problem perfectly.

I do not like the included CISCO/LINKSYS software. Just use windows if you can.
That said the speed on this is amazing. A gigabyte router with a gigabyte NAS and I can move files incredible fast.

Great Wireless Adapter

I bought the Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter for my granddaughter. She moved her mother's computer from downstairs next to the router to upstairs in her room. The computer was older and was not wireless. The manufacturer indicated the only way to fix the problem was to buy a new motherboard for the computer which was not economically feasible because of the age of the computer. I hooked the wireless adapter to the computer in minutes including loading the drivers etc. The computer was on-line and searching the web within minutes. I am my granddaughter's and daughter's hero.

This solved my wireless connectivity issue -- only problem is that it's too big (that is, extends too far out from my laptop).

Have had this dongle for awhile now and have not have too much issue..... little bulky for just the USB port. Wish was a little smaller.
