    He internal card was too intermittent when attempting to connect to the Internet. Since I have an ac router I thought this would fix the problem. And it did to a large extent. I now think it's a windows conflict with her old card (which is why I use Mac) This product seems to do its job well.

    This adapter is one of the best one's I ever bought, it is very easy to use, even thought you have to install the software before to use it but it is an easy installation. The only bad thing, for me, it is little bit big and bulky. What I love the most about it, and the reason I bought it, it is because it has duel band.

    When my laptop would not connect to the internet, i thought my internet was out but when checking my I pad and phone they would both connect. I actually went into Best Buy looking to maybe purchase a new laptop, but the salesman recommended that I try this before spending all the money for a new computer. I chose this model as it came with a CD for installation and it was just follow the instructions on the CD, quick and easy to install. A quick note, the other models that they had of this kind of product required that you download the install from a web site, how can you download if your computer won't connect to the internet???

    I had bought the Netgear version of this adapter and wasted many hours trying to get it to work with a HP 8.1 windows tower. Not good when you know support people from having to contact them all the time. The Linksys worked great and NO problems. I needed this adapter for it's 5ghz function and I am most happy.

    This Linksys - Wireless-AC USB 3.0 Adapter - Black was very easy to install especially for a tech challenged person like myself. I needed this plug in to connect my new desktop to my internet. I have had no problems and it works just as fast and efficiently as my laptop. This was a very good purchase.

    I've been using Linksys equipment for years and have always been rewarded with devices that work as indicated. This wireless adapter followed that tradition. Easy to setup and worked just as indicated for a PC that is not in the line of sight of our router.

    I was looking for an AC adapter for a system close to a router, but this one had to be powerful. I'm glad I found this Linksys one, because it does the job. I've been getting the dual-band speeds (867 Mbps) on it with hardly any fluctuation in speed. The setup was really easy.

    I don’t have a wireless card in my desktop computer and need one to connect to the internet. I needed one faster thank my old one because my son plays over watch and needed something faster. This was much faster and easy to install and has real range.

    My laptop wireless adapter dropping out on a regular basis. I plugged in the Linksys adapter, loaded the drivers anf followed the directions. It is plugged into a 4 port usb 3.0 block which is plugged into 1 usb 3.0 port on my laptop. Works good and is a lot faster.

    Yeah so I was "elected" to help my father in law out with a computer that my wife purchased him, which of course I was glad to do. His new PC was Windows 7, and I seem to recall it did not recognize the adapter until the machine was rebooted (which as many may know on a virgin W7 machine especially nowadays, there are a LOT of reboots, especially after Office and other app updates are downloaded/installed, which can literally take hours). That being said, I think it was after the first, maybe second reboot that this worked good. The drivers on the mini-disc are really only meant for professionals that know how to navigate through it accordingly and they AREN'T made for the American consumer that expects it to guide them through everything flawlessly, somewhat because native language isn't English. But as my title speaks, once all the initial setup is done the adapter itself works great.

    I kept getting kicked off of my Time Warner internet service and nothing worked to fix it. Bought this wireless adapter and my laptop can now hook up to 5G, I haven't been kicked off since I installed it and I'm getting faster speed that the 50 mbps I am paying for. Great product.
