    I bought this adapter two years ago and it has been working very well / without issue. It is a bit more than 3” long and I needed to make sure the CPU had adequate space behind it.

    This item was perfect for what I needed in order to have internet throughout my house. And it is connected to everything, cable, printer, computer. You name it and it's connected to it.

    The problem with this router is that when you want to open some page or click on some link, it takes a couple of seconds until it responds and starts loading the page or whatever the destination on the internet is.

    This will probably be great to help with Wifi in a laptop. I don't have one but will keep for when I do get a laptop.

    This Netgear adapter works flawlessly with my ancient Dell XPS 410. Easy and trouble free. The perfect solution to eliminating the need for an Ethernet cord.

    I used this on my desktop pc, which was using a wired connection (remember those?), but I switched when that connection started having issues. It works and I don't think about it.

    One of the better "plug in" wifi adapters I have used. Not cheap compared to others however. I expected to pay in the $30 - $40 range, not this one, at least not at BBuy and not on sale.

    I've been using another similar product and had to replace it after only two months. This product appears to connect faster to my router and has been been working very well so far.

    I had a similar item for my laptop that was very fragile and kept getting bent. This one is very sturdy and can take my abuse. And the signal is ten times better then my other one.

    At first I was very excited to get this product and the performance has been mixed. It's connected to a USB 3.0 port and I have 100Mbps connection and it's only at most 15 feet away from the wireless router. Sometimes I get close to the full speed sometimes I get half or a quarter of the speed. Before when I had the same wired connection I got the full speed. I've done tests where I have disconnected all but the device I'm testing and still get mixed results both on 2.4G and 5G. If I was able to get a more consistent higher speeds it would have been 5 Stars.

    This works great for my laptop, which does not have a fast internal wifi adapter. It can be used plugged directly into a USB port or using an extension USB cable.

    I have a desktop that I use w-i-fi to connect to my home network and have been using an older dual band N adapter. This new adapter greatly improved my network connection speed.

    It's a good NIC. I returned it, though. Needed a NIC for a AV receiver which didn't have drivers for it. It's fine for any normal use.

    My only complaint is that sometimes it doesn't connect upon start up and I have to restart my computer until it works. Not sure if it's the adapter or my computer but it is a solid product regardless.

    Good Purchase, just had to tweak settings for it to work properly. Other than that, very great product. Recommend if you can’t use Ethernet.
