When my laptop's wifi died Geek Squad folks recommended this USB device. It worked right away and without any drama, and for much less cost than replacing the entire laptop.

I bought this for my PC because it didn't have a wireless card. The wifi connection doesn't seem to be worse than any laptop wifi cards I've used. Works good for the price.

This is a really strong little unit. The only complaint I would give is that it drops signal here and there, and you need to unplug/replug it to get it to work again.

The NetGear AC 1200 is reliable, easy to install, and powerful. Since installation there have been no "slowdowns" or "dropoffs" as there was with the previous adapter.

Honestly its really good when it works well but after owning this for about a month it starts having connection issues and it gets worse over time. Its pretty common according to the netgear forums.... it works most of the time but these last 2 weeks its been disconnecting randomly mid games and mostly when I start up my pc

We were having speed issues. This adapter, paired with a Netgear router increased connection speeds in the remote corners of the house to teenager approved gaming levels.

Replaced one I had to see if it would get better range. Picked up the same as the previous one. Does the job but nothing making it any better than the others in the price range.

This did exactly what it is described to do. The stand it came with is kinda cheap and it broke, but it is not necessary for it to work.
