My son uses our old pic for Minecraft, and needed a basic internet connection, but his room doesn't have the Ethernet access.. This works just fine for him

Easily handles 2 monitors & a desktop. Might be overkill for a smaller setup, but if you want lots of powerful protection, then this UPS is worth it.

Overall, the wifi adapter works very well and definitely speeds up the connection on my PC. The installation software did not work with Windows 10 at all.

After my laptop internal adapter stopped working reliably, my uverse service technician suggested I get a Usb adapter. This unit has worked perfectly.

Netgear is always very reliable, I have never had issues with their products before. This one continues to hold up the brand's quality.

It's still not as fast as wired but it helps when you just need to be connected to the internet to use your PC.

Most devices nowadays include a wifi receiver. But in the case of older gear you may need one of these. It works exactly as it should. I recommend it.

Linux Users Beware

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Unlike some other USB wireless network adapters that have vendor-supported Linux drivers or even support within the native kernel, this product does not. There are some FOSS projects out there that are working towards supporting this but they are frankly unreliable across different distros and have a good amount of bugs.
Do get this for Windows systems though.
