Old PC needed the internet

Old PC in the basement was placed where the ethernet cable couldn't reach. After getting some BB Reward $$ this seemed like an easy way to rehook the old boy up.
This works but every time I power up the PC I need to remove it and plug it back in.
Simple set up, running XP, this thing is faster than what the old PC can handle.
Decent purchase for $20.

I had to buy this for my parents. I moved their old computer away from the router. It didn't have built in wifi and running a cable wasn't an option. I plugged this adapter in, it installed itself and found the wifi without any problems. The range is good and it is a solid connection.

We just changed cable companies which increase our internet speed from 30 to 100 mbps!! My laptop of only a few years worked at 70mbps. So for a few dollars this was a great upgrade. Simple install and no problems--windows 10-- my internet speed increased 5 fold and able to use the 5ghz setting from my router.

This does great and I get my maximum speeds but about once or twice a month the speeds drop to incredibly low speeds; this is fixed by unplugging the device and then plugging it back in. Overall for the price this is a great product but if you do not want to go through the hassle of unplugging it then I would recommend buying a higher quality device.

Purchased so I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging the network cable when working on multiple computers. It has worked great and it is just plug and play. I can clearly see the difference in speed when plugged into a 3.0 port. I just might get me a couple more to keep around.

I moved some things around the house and needed wireless for a desktop. This worked great for that. I would recommend putting your device up high on a desk rather than the ground for the best connection.
The drivers were easy to find on the Linksys website.

Works great, speed is very fast and setup was simple.
Only reason for 4 stars is due to the length this sticks out of my computer. Would have been ideal if it were smaller so there wouldn't be a risk of it getting knocked off.
Otherwise this works very well.

I bought this last minute when my landline internet failed. Working perfectly when I tethered internet from my iPhone. Speeds from it were great. Very easy setup even for someone like me that doesn’t know a lot about computers. It came with an install disc and was ready to go in less than 5 minutes.

enabled my older Acer desktop to connect to a 5G signal in a room about 15 yards from the router. Speed was not as good as right next to the router but was higher than the 2G speed, 85 versus 60 mBps. Near the router the speed is 236 mBps.
Easy hook up.

Great product for the price. I wasn't too convinced this would work very well for a gaming pc my son took to a Las Vegas hotel and on their Wi-Fi. No when ethernet connection. This is a large tower, not a laptop. Fast with no lag. Playing Call of Duty and other fast pace games.

When the internal WIFI adapter started giving me problems, I needed a solution without replacing my laptop! This worked perfectly and honestly is better than my internal ever was! Simple plug and play installation and no more dropped wifi connection!

outsmarting the X-Fi Modem

I bought this neat little wi-fi connector, because Xfinity came out with a faster wi-fi modem, but cut the four plug ins, on their previous model down to two. Therefore I had to make my wife's computer Wi-Fi capable. This little beauty was so easy to set up it was just about plug and play. An excellent product for very little money.
