    It does not always connect to 5.0 when I turn on my laptop. I increased my speed on my laptop and increased it to 5.0 and I expect to connect to 5.0 all the time I turn it on. Is the component faulty?

    I was hoping to purchase a wireless card but this is satisfactory. Best Buy does not carry any cards in the store and I bought this because there was nothing better that I could buy on the spot.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
