    The speed was so so but it did the job. Not too good for games but could get daily tasks done.

    Low-cost, easy to use adapter! Took it out of the box, plugged it in, and was instantly connected to our WIFI after inputting the WIFI password. Great product!

    I put it in; 10 second install super easy, but I have no way to tell if its doing anything? I can't say if I notice it working. I must have been so frustrated with dropped service and screens locking that I bought it... but I didn't really measure how often it happens so I don't know how much or if its better now. Bottom Line- not a huge difference

      Hi, mjlatl,

      The main functionality of the adapter is to upgrade your Windows-based computer to AC WiFi speeds with MU-MIMO. If you experience the same slow and dropping connection, you can try updating the adapter’s driver. If that won’t help, we’ll have our Escalation Engineers assist you instead. Just email us at [email protected] along with your contact information and a link to this post as our reference.

      Regards,

      Rosalyn

    Needed something for an older laptop. Worked good. Range is a little to be desired, but it will mostly be in the next room from the router so not that big of a deal. Works fine.
