No auto-install on Win10, no automatic pairing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using for a desktop computer, the WiFi adapter is not recognized by Win10 upon plugging into my computer, so no automatic install. Luckily there is a CD and I still have a CD drive on my computer. Except Win10 thinks this is a hack and Account Control will not allow program to open as an administrator even with all safety systems disabled. Update your product so they may be used, Linksys.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This worked great for about 2 and a half weeks. Reception was great. Then it just quit, I would not buy again as this seemed to be defective. Site says it is no longer returnable. That is just not right since the merchandise is defective.

Terrible
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After managing to get it out of my laptop before it burned up, I am not happy at all. I had to get a quick replacement to keep going and proceeded to do so. Given my previous experience with Linksys I am not thrilled at all and can't believe this is one of their products.

Worked at first
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item worked for a little less than 2 weeks, and then it would no longer read the WiFi signal. We tried everything from rebooting system, to unplugging router (multiple times), to uninstalling item. It was of no use, as it just stopped reading the signal.
