Bought this to replace a wifi adapter card in a desktop PC, that could not consistently pick up the signal in the apartment.
It was a good price, easy to set up,and has been outperforming the old adapter for about a month now. Seems to have better range and does not drop the signal.

This was super easy to setup and get going. The speeds are fast and the connection is solid. The Linksys software is kind of bloated and restrictive, but you don't need to use it so no harm.

The wireless adapter is easy to setup and start using, but a couple times I have had to remove it from the USB port and put it back in to reset the connection after getting the computer out of sleep mode.

I have a Samsung laptop with an Intel wifi network card in it. Intel's cards seem to not function often and so I had problems and searched for a USB network adapter. When I found this I figured that trying it couldn't hurt, plugged it in (it was picky and only runs off of one of my USB ports) but once I had the drivers installed,MIT works great. My mother also had trouble with her network card so I got her one of these too and all of her problems are gone as well. I play many online video games and the speed of the data transfers is excellent. My mother streams TV online in HD with no problems as well.

Needed a new WiFi adapter and this had a great price. Works very fast and easy to install. Its quite fragile so make sure your usb port is not near cords.

This simple network adapter is from a trusted brand and performs great, as expected. Not the highest class adapter, but handles gaming and streaming fine. The only issue I've noticed is that occasionally Windows does not recognize the device after resuming from Standby. This is simply fixed by unplugging and re-plugging the adapter.

This wireless connector works great. All I had to do was plug it in and Windows 7 found it and installed the drivers. I didn't have to do anything but plug and play. I have had it for a month or so and have had 0 problems with it. It has never dropped signal or stopped functioning. I would definitely purchase this dongle again.

I used to use s Netgear WNDA3100 until it kept dropping connection on me. I moved to Cisco N600 based on the brand name. The installation on Windows 7 was quick and minimal. There is no obtrusive software that runs in the background that you have to worry about eating precious resources. Fast and reliable so far :)

The install on this was super easy. Works like a charm and gives a super fast internet connection. It stutters every now and again and needs to be removed and rebooted in order to work again. Overall, I'm really pleased with this purchase!

I purchased this item because I needed for my desktop to become wireless. The adapter was very easy to install and it let windows find the network and connect to it. My computer is able to connect via wifi at pretty decent speeds. Over a great product
