I got this adapter after updating my router. It was easy to setup and my data speeds are much better. The only complaint I have is this adapter doesn't have a stand like my old adapter so I could set it on top of desk instead of sticking out of a usb port.

I found this usb adapter to be pretty good. The connection is as fast as advertised. I just have an issue with its size. I can get in the way at times and you have to be aware that it is there so you won't accidently break it off when you move the laptop.

It took me less than 5 minutes to run through the install. Once it was done I am getting great speeds and across a long distance with quite a few walls in the way, and my computer is on the floor under my desk.

I wish I didn't need this device but my laptop's built in wireless function stopped working and this device has restored full functionality. It seems to work at faster speeds than I had before on my 5 year old HP laptop. My only complaint is I wish it were smaller.

I ordered this adapter for an older desktop computer I own which does not have wifi built-in.
It installed easily using the disk that came with it and it picks up a strong wifi signal from my wifi router which is about 45 feet away.
I am very happy with the purchase.

I have a rather weak internet signal in my home office, and my old wi-fi card sometimes dropped it. This linksys wireless adapter gets me a much stronger signal. Finally I can STAY online! And it couldn't have been easier to set up. Truly plug and play. Definitely recommend.

I was having trouble connecting to the wifi with my older laptop, and tried this adapter. It works well, my one issue is that it is a bit wide, which can make it difficult to use adjoining USB ports. Otherwise, quite happy with the performance.

My last USB WiFi adapter died on me and bought this one, So far the WiFi adapter has performed near flawlessly and the range, speed, and overall functionality is very good. Any of the issues that I am having is with computer itself NOT the adapter.

You are supposed to load the CD and install something when you first use this. I am lazy and just plugged it in a USB 3.0 slot and started using it immediately. Picked up the router no problems. I have not had any connections issues since I purchased this.

My laptop suddenly lost the ability to discover networks. It had to be some kind of physical damage (IE kicked off the bed in the middle of the night. Anyways, I was tired of tethering my laptop to my cell phone, so I bought this Adapter. It was pretty simple to set up and it screams. I'm pretty sure it's faster than the original hardware I had. I definitely recommend this product if you have the same trouble I had, or even if you just want a faster connection via router.

purchased for my sons custom build. Cheap and Easy way to get him wifi on his gaming desktop. This part was actually recommended by a store associate who uses it for gaming. He's had zero issues out of it. I tested it extensively while it was at my house and Im personally disappointed I went with the internal mounted option.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has the need for wireless access on their desktop and especially for those who are not comfortable with tearing open their desktop to install new hardware.

Great wireless adapter. Easy to install and use. I had an earlier version before but gave it to my son to use. This is a replacement. This is for a new desktop that does not have an internal device like a laptop does. Now my printers can now operate without having to be wired directly.

This is a great USB3 AC Wifi adapter. I use it to connect my laptop which has WiFi N connectivity built in. But when I use this adapter I can see the difference in speed when surfing the web. It helps that my wireless router is 802.11 AC also.

I was looking for a better alternative than installing an internal card in my PC. The sales person recommended this product as both cheaper and effective. Installation was simple and straightforward; however, the adapter would lose connection. I would then have to "reinstall" the device from the supplied disc. Any reboot of my PC would impact the connectivity. I finally left my PC on, and the problems went away. I have since rebooted with no issues. Speed and connectivity are both good.

I bought this item to increase the speed of my internet so I could stream movies better. I could immediately see a boost in my internet speed. My only complaint is it is so big that I cannot use the USB drive adjacent to it.
