Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good soo far great for the price good brand overall

very good totally satisfied had to come up with a case

Pros: Fast and easy set-up Cons: No extension cable

This is being used in a PC in the basement and our new Linksys router is in the attic. Not the greatest connection. However, I think it's more the router's fault rather than the USB link. The newer routers just don't seem to be as good as the older ones.

I purchased the Linksys - Dual-Band Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter Model: AE2500-NP | SKU: 6571616 and the Linksys - Dual-Band Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter Model: AE2500-NP | SKU: 6571616 together because the salesman told me I would “issues” with my old router. My old router went years without a failure. This configuration fails several times a day. It is configured with smoke and mirrors so you can’t fix it without access to the company propriety information.

Probably my house and the room is located a fair distance from the Router but I never got it to work and continued using the Netgear wireless USB adapter I was using previously.

The first one of these did not work,this one works ok.I expected it to be great ,it is not! Have a few Cisco products in the house that work REALLY well!

Wouldn't recommend if you are using on a computer not in the same room as your router. Mine is only 2 rooms away from the router on the same floor. Even with the doors open, I usually only have one bar on the Network Magic connection map. The connection is slow and sometimes is lost. I guess the next step is paying another $80 for a signal booster, but this seems unreasonable. Even a cell phone will pick up the wi-fi signal outside the house at a reasonable speed.

I bought this to try and replace/upgrade one from TP-Link (with antenna) that appeared to have connection issues. This one was way worse. TP would connect with 150Mbps, but not always stay connected. This one would only get 5Mbps and also not stay connected. Problem was my base station location. Once i moved that, TP-LInk was far better and always connected. I returned this one.

Does not claim to work with Linux OS. Bought anyway to try it on Linux. No Linux drivers available. May work fine on Windows.

my wifi card crapped out and i got htis Linksys - N Dual-Band USB Adapter - Black

This was represented as being capable of being a suitable alternative to running a cable to my second floor. This had zero reception on 5 GHz from the router in my basement. The 2.4 GHz transfer speeds were far less than either of my laptops that I used right next to the PC I had this hooked up to. Essentially useless.

Would not work with my wireless router and laptop. Had to return it and select a NetGear USB Wireless adapter instead.

I need to return this as I am not getting enough range of power to get on most internet websites.

I bought this for my mother who lives about 1100 miles from me, This thing is slow. Not actually worth the effort to use. US Mail is probably faster.

I purchased this anticipating it to have issues, but was hopeful since other windows 8 users had had success with it. The installation was a BREEZE and the connection (when it had one) was fast. However, not only did I have to remove and reinsert the adapter every time I left my computer for a few moments to get the connection back, it dropped repeatedly while I was actively using my computer. I returned it at Best Buy and replaced it with the Belkin N600 (higher MSRP but it was on sale for less than this one) and not only was installation just as easy, I have a full 5 bars and no dropped connection since it was installed. This unit toggled between 3 and 4 bars when it was working. I am very happy to have made the switch away from this one. Also keep in mind this doesn't have any driver updates specifically for Windows 8 on the Linksys site, while the Belkin N600 does!

I bought the Linksys - Dual-Band Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter after moving the kid's desktop computer into another room that is inaccessible to the router. It just so happened that Best Buy had this one on sale when I made the computer move. The instructions were great and the network adapter was up and running in a few minutes. This is a great product and I would buy it again.

This is a great product to turn your non-wireless computer (or other similar device) wireless. You simply open the package, follow the few, easy instructions, and boom, your old computer, etc. is now wireless. Very easy to use, and maintains a good connection.

Finally found a USB Wireless that works! The design on this with the extended wire, clip, etc.... to get the device to its highest point for optimal signal is FANTASTIC. Works flawlessly! Please Buy This before ANY OTHER!

Based on Best Buy online recommendation for my criteria, ordered wireless router and this wireless network adapter online after midnight, picked up the order at local store in the morning near noon, installed and setup the wireless network and had it working by mid-afternoon. Excellent result for a first experience with wireless networking.
