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

Very easy to connect, and really did the connectivity job between my son’s Dell PC and our 5Ghz. Fios router. Very stable connection even though not the strongest of signals.

I'm in the IT field and deal with corporate networks, I was having so much trouble with my home gaming PC on wireless. I swapped by old USB wireless adapter and bought this one. 5ghz is the way to go for most uptime and speed.

Gets the job done. Was able to stream games from GeForce Now with no problem. Some image degradation here and there, but I’m only on a 50mbps plan and was streaming YouTube on the TV at the same time.

I got this device recommend by my Internet providerservice technischen, because my laptop had not the 5GHz option and could not use the speed actually provided by the company. The extention cable is highly recommended to use!

Have had a few different types of wireless connectors, none seem to last long. Grabbed an older one of these at Best Buy, and it lasted over 2 years. Figured I'd go with what I know, and have not been disappointed.

This unit didn't work when I attempted to use it on a laptop I have that had lost it's internet connectivity. It worked for about two minutes and then was not operable after that. I attempted several times for about an hour.

Hard to review due to laptop.

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.

I bought this because I was having poor reception with my existing laptop WiFi adapter. It works much better and I have no complaints about Netgear products.

This adaptor is definitely worth the money as I've had absolutely no problems with connecting to my router. The only thing was that the setup was kind of annoying. It seemed like a lot more work than it should have been

One of my work desktops had its internal WiFi card go bad in it so I swung by BestBuy and picked up this little baby. The price was right and it was plug and play. Sweet Sauce!!!

So this is a good adapter, you never have random wifi drops yet. The only thing is, and this may be my fault but I don't get as high download rates as my phone does.

In our new place, we have to be able to use wifi with the computers, including our desktop computer, and this has worked great. The staff that explained which one would fit our needs best was very, very helpful.
