    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.

    The screen is the right size. The price was reasonable. The screen is easy on the eyes. It has transitioned me from a desktop to a laptop. I have always gotten good service from HP products and from Best Buy!

    I'd had several devices to catch the WiFi signals from the next room, but this one surprised me by outdoing them all. It did its job perfectly, without becoming intrusive in any way. HooRah!

    I bought this to extend the WIFI range in my RV. It works very well as I could get WIFI when I was using it but had no signal without it. We bought another one for my wife's laptop it worked so well.

    I bought this in July of 2019 along with all of the other new parts for my PC build. Worked like a charm until November of 2020. Everything on the computer was functioning well, but the adapter just wouldn’t turn on. Tried it on various other devices to check if it was the computer, but no, the adapter was broken. Honestly wish it would’ve lasted longer because it worked pretty well.

    My internal wifi adapter finally gave out. I could have replaced it with the same, but for the same cost I got this one which provided the latest technology. Easy to set up and great connection speeds.

    This looked very promising solution for my laptop which has a very weak built-in WiFi adapter. Everything from installation to performance, it worked like a charm. But about a month later it started acting up for no visible reason at all. Constantly dropping connection almost every 5 mins, signal strength getting weaker and weaker. Good thing I had purchased Geek Squad protection plan on it. Just returned it under the plan and bought Asus nano which has the same specs but lot smaller in size.

    Needed this for an older computer I built that lacked onboard wireless capability on the motherboard. Took a couple of tries to get it working but works well once I had it up and running.
