This is a good add on wifi if you're looking for easy setup and a better wifi speed if an internal mini USB on a dongle doesn't provide adequate performance.

Worked fine for me... I would suggest forgoing the netgear included software for managing the SSIDs and just use windows built in support. but works fine overall

WOW! I was having awful WiFI connectivity. This adapter empowered me to go from 5 Mbps to 107.3 Mbps. Not kidding! My home office is in a redesigned part of our garage, on the other side of a 2,700 house from the router. Night and day difference. I cannot more HIGHLY recommend this adapter and Best Buy's team of associates who helped me. BUY THIS!

Switched my in home networking from DSL to optical fiber. After switchover my laptop could not see the network when running on the fiber network. Eventually found out that the router was of an advanced model type and my 6 year old laptop's wireless adapter was just not seeing both its 2.5 and 5 gig bands. Purchased the product a day later at local Best Buy, did a fast 15 minute installation using the supplied CD software and my laptop had no further problems connecting to the network.
