Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great. We needed a new WiFi card for my son’s PC because his new motherboard didn’t have built in and there’s no wall jack in his room.

Bought this adapter with some apprehension. I started experiencing some network connectivity/speed issues with my desktop. Bought this adapter and it solved my problems. It increased my download/upload speed about 10 times.

No issue so far, I like this product. Still got 2 words.

Works fine, but ended up having to use default Windows 10 drivers instead of the one supplied by Netgear (because it kept on disconnecting and would not reconnect unless the adapter was unplugged and plugged back in).

I have a problem with the cable adapter is not working

Item worked as it is supposed and allows me to get 5Ghz connectivity when needed, only downside I had is with connectivity. It would disconnect and reconnect and seemed as a bad connection with my PC's USB 3.0 slots. Other than that I am satisfied.

I bought this as my new house wouldn't accommodate a wired connection to my computer. This has worked flawlessly! It has great reception through several walls and several wireless electronics between it and the router.

I purchased a gaming pc only to find it didn't have wifi... one quick trip and the employee told me exactly this product when I told them what I was looking for. Occasionally the product will disconnect but I just take it out and plug it back in.

I love them, makes watching a movie great and the rest of the house can be silent without being bothered by my having the TV volume up and I can hear all the words being spoken, my wife loves them too I am not blasting the sound up so loud.

Purchased to improve the signal strength to my father's computer. Went from low signal to medium signal. Helped to speed transfer speeds. Installation software didn't work properly the first attempt.

I have been using this Hi-Gain adapter to replace G adapters for older built-in adapters. This has improved the access to my Netgear router, and improved access to the Internet and VPN configurations. I would recommend this product.

Who needs a WiFi repeater when you have this? I plug this into my one of my other pc which is located downstairs in the garage far far away from the router, and it works great!

Very easy to get started. Perfect internet connectivity no matter where I am inside my home, and even outside when enjoying a nice day sitting on decks, and streaming to laptop. Perfect A+

We were very happy to find what we needed at Best Buy

The dock it comes with is faulty, it wont work unless its plugged directly in the USB port. It sticks out the side quite a bit, can be caught and ripped out if your not careful. But it works marvelously otherwise, fast long distance connection 24/7.

It is hard for me to review this item and my problem with my laptop. I bought a Surface laptop and about 14 months later the WIFI stopped working. I took it to the Geek Squad and they told me they couldn't do anything because my laptop was out of warranty. They suggested I purchase this item. It worked a couple times, but then I couldn't get the WIFI to work at all. I can only use the laptop if it is hard wired.

Got this for my remote computer at work to use in the warehouse and it works great. Have no problem connecting to the WiFi.

I bought this for the 5Ghz band. According to the Best Buy associate I should get great connection, speeds, etc. Well.... Not so much. No improvement in speed over my 2.4Ghz adapter. Yes, i have a dual band router (Att Uverse). I would have preferred a wired installation, but the tech didnt want to get dirty in the crawlspace, so I'm stuck with Wifi. This adapter primarily connects on the 2.4Ghz band, you have to go into settings to get it on the 5Ghz band. The 2.4 Ghz was slightly slower on average than my previous adapter. A call to netgear tech support was a fruitless waste of time. All in all, it does work, just not as advertised.

Its fast and the hardware works great... I just don't like the software. Netgear has never done a great job with their software, and this is no different. It works just doesn't seem to save hidden profiles, so I have to connect manually each time.

I have a laptop that has been having issues with the internal wi-fi. I use this as a back up in case there is a problem and it has performed well. Set up takes a little time, but once it is going, it works great
