Bought this so my son could connect to our wifi using a dell laptop with Windows XP. Software installed but errors popped up. Pop up errors did not stop unit from connecting to our wifi jus the connection was intermittent. Unit might work better with a more recent OS.

I don't want to be too hard on this product, because I use it in a room that is on the opposite end of the house from the main wireless router. In that respect, it really does a good job of picking up the wifi...WHEN it wants to. Sometimes it remains connected to the router but won't allow me to browse the web. I have found, though, that removing wireless mouse and keyboard sets make it work better (since they operate on the same frequency), and there is usually a "sweet spot" you must find as well. For me it's as simple as elevating it slightly, sitting it on top of my computer speakers. Since I moved it there it's done a pretty good job. The speed is more than acceptable, and it cuts through the walls of the house better than I expected it to.
Overall it does its job well, but still sometimes only works when it wants to.

After purchasing a new gaming computer, the Wi-Fi won’t connect. I returned to Best Buy and their Geek Squad team recommended this device. It easily solved the problem. Highly recommend this.

Used this item for 2 years before my company upgraded my computer. Works perfectly as long as you do NOT put anything metal in front of the transmitter.

The thing works well. It was a bit difficult to get working but it might have been my fault. The computer i was going to use this on does not have a disk drive and you need to use the cd it comes with or download stuff from the website online.

Was skeptical about getting a usb Wi-Fi receiver, got this one and it works great. You can download the install driver online and I get a steady 100mbs which is my max internet speed

This is great for improving your wi-fi signal strength on the go or in a home. The included USB dock is a great added bonus for extending the antenna. Highly recommended for those who need better wifi signal.

This is a great Wireless Adapter. Excellent throughput and stable connection. Also good range. However Windows 10 can create driver conflicts if it attempts to overwrite the existing driver. So do make sure you complete the disk installation carefully.

Got the device, unwrapped it and plugged it in and it fired right up. Have been getting much better throughput than the old single-band a/b/g-class built in device. The included stand and flip-up antenna are nice, too, but I haven't needed the antenna extended for great reception.
