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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

It seems to be less buggy than the last USB adapter I had. Although this is an AC device I am not sure that the range is much better than the last, which was an N.

Replaced an old desktop wireless card with this and went from 54mb connections to 100+mb connections. Using it with a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk router.
