    Purchased this as an alternate WiFi point for desktop, that board based WiFi chip failed. Easy installation. Not quite plug and play, needed to install driver from CD. Also another reviewer recommended (and I do as well) to go into Windows device settings, find the device, and adjust power settings, so that power to USB device does not shut off when PC goes to sleep. Saves any headaches of having to reconnect to WiFi network at power cycle startup (always on).

    I like the USB Network Adapter fairly well, but the Adapter does not automatically connect to the internet, whereas I have manually connect to the 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz broadband WiFi networks! I have VPN software on my computer, that connect ok to the internet, after I connect the Adapter to the WiFi network!

    Works in both USB 2 and USB 3 slots. Due to it not having an external antenna it doesn't get a very good signal if it's more then 20' from the router.

    My old adapter would only access 2.4GHz. With the new adapter accessing 5GHz, the difference in speed is like night and day. Being able to update or download something at the higher speed is fantastic. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their network adapter.

    You can always trust Linksys products. I bought this to be able to connect to 5Ghz bands since my PC's network adapter is not dual band. This was exactly what I needed. Works great and my download speeds are much faster now. It's small in size, comparable to a USB flash drive. Awesome product.

    Dual band picks up older and modern frequencies so you're sure to get a connection to your WIFI. Good range but didn't test how far it can get connection (kept close to source). Rarely will disconnect but just unplug and replug to reestablish connection. Huge step up with faster download speeds compared to my old single band wireless adapter. There are other faster adapters but for my needs this was a perfect fit.

    Bought two of these wireless adapters to upgrade our laptops which came with slower G modems. Installation was simple. Disable the laptop's built in modem, plus this adapter into a high speed USB port and it installed automatically. Boosted our wireless internet speed to 100+ MBPS. Installed on 2 laptops without any problems. If you need a new modem for your computer, get this!
