This is working pretty well for me, except for the initial connection. I don't have any internet speed problems (at least not related to this). I haven't tried online gaming or anything like that, so I can't speak for the connection quality there. It's something that I plug in when I need it and then unplug, and for some reason, every time I plug it in, it connects and disconnects from the internet several times before finally giving me a solid connection. So that's a little disconcerting.

Bought this for my desktop that I bought since it didn't have a wireless system built into it. Works pretty decent with connection. Only use my computer for business and navigating the web.

This little gadget saved me from having to purchase a whole new computer, so it's definitely worth the investment. Super-easy to install and have had no problems using it at all.

I've had this USB wifi adapter for about a month now and I have not had any issues with it whatsoever. It maintains a solid connection for me, and no slow connection issues yet.

Speed is super fast and I like how the device can be moved around. Plug in, put in your password and you're ready to go. Took less than 2 minutes for liftoff.

I've not notice any increase in speeds vs my older wifi (but then I only do email and work stuff mostly). Ithas to reconnect when I wake up the pc, and takes a minute to stay connected while it wakes up. That is about the only con.

Bought a new laptop, built in WiFi card sucked, bought this Netgear, not only is it better but I can also pick up my 5g network. By far best investment.

I tried two other USB wifi adapters and ended up staying with this one. It came with an extender cable for the ability to move it, logical and appreciated.

Good for Online Media Consumption, not Gaming

It comes with a dock, but there were connection problems with mine whenever I tried to use it, so I had to plug the wireless adapter directly into my laptop. note that if you plug into a laptop, it will cover up the ports next to it and wont let you plug anything in beside it.
Connecting to Wifi is pretty easy, you can do the "button on the router" thing which speeds up the connection process.
Connection is great while watching videos online. I am able to watch YouTube videos at 1080p without any lag. The video will start right at 1080p, none of that nonsense where it starts at 240p and works its way up to 1080.
However, Gaming online wasn't good. When Playing Battlefield One, my Ping was constantly in the hundreds. It wasn't much better for Overwatch, with other players stuttering all over my screen, and me getting killed without realizing what just happened.
So basically, this is great for Online Media Consumption, but not good for gaming.
