    I had the internal wifi go out on a laptop; was much cheaper and easier to install this, than get the old wifi fixed. The product was very easy to install, connected right away and works perfectly, from a good distance.

    Easy to use and install. Performance and range is excellent for an apartment. Used it to make my desktop wireless and loving the signal strength as it gets the most out of my internet speed.

    I bought this adapter because the one inside my computer was barely picking up my router and was also giving me a slower internet speed than expected. My Verizon Fios tech recommended I try an adapter. Once I installed this my connection to the router was very good and my internet speed was as expected. This resolved my issues. My router is in the basement and I am using it in an upstairs bedroom and it picks up the signal. I got it on sale too so it was a great deal. The only note I have is that the setup was easy but required a CD. If you don't have a CD drive on your computer they probably have some way to download the install files from their site but you may want to check beforehand.

    Not hard to set and easy to use. I really like it. I'm using it on my 7+ year old desktop computer and it is working fine. I'm sure it would work even better if I had a newer computer.

    This little USB wifi connector has great connectivity and installs in less than five minutes. My only complaint about it is that it does not automatically connect back to the network upon awakening from sleep mode or when I start up my computer. I even tried turning off the feature in windows to "disable this USB device when sleeping" and no luck. Other reviews on Amazon yielded the same issue. Buyer be warned about that. If you don't mind it, this will be 5/5 stars for you.

    My mom's relatively new computer did not have wireless capabilities. I learned that she needed a wireless adaptor, and selected this one due to her location - a condominium - and the probable usage - just my mom and perhaps one guest. Without this, she would have had to put her computer in an awkward place or endure twenty-five feet of cable. Set-up was super fast and easy, and within minutes, we were able to access the Internet using her desktop computer and two laptops, AND download books onto her Kindle. Awesomeness.

    This adapter worked great right out of the box. Easy setup and got decent reception range in a building with known issues regarding connectivity. Good value for a good product. Will probably purchase another for a different pc in a different area.

    Works great first time. Nice thin design so doesn't block the USB port next to it. Gets a better connection than my laptop and it's further away from the switch. Easy install.

    We bought this because the wireless stopped working in our laptop computer. It was easy to set up and it works fine so far. The only problem is when you bump it, which is easy to do because it sticks out the side, the wireless stops working and you have to pull it out and put it back in again.
