My tablet lags, and is very glitchy at times. It's an okay tablet, but it's very frustrating to use.

I bought this and only about about 40-60 down and 20 up when I get 300 down and 100 up on my phones and 980 down 780 up directly connected. Was disappointed. Got a different brand that was cheaper and it worked better. I’ll give Netgear the benefit of the doubt since I’ve used Netgear before and never had issue. Possibly a bad one.

I'll be honest this was like the 3rd one of these I purchased. The other ones burnt up relatively fast but there arent very many options for what I needed so I kept going back to this. I bought a new laptop and now this is not needed thankfully.

Wifi connection at my home is weak-Pulling from home next door. Suggested that I purchase this adapter. Do not feel it was worth the money. Not that much difference in strength-get 2 bars with the adapter.
Best Buy employee also disconnected Wifi from my laptop. Will be bringing it back to re-install. Was told my friend that should not have been done

After 5 mo. of use. Started getting high ping spikes while gaming online. There is no free email support to RMA this back to Netgear. They make you call them and I think it's not free.
Currently using a backup usb wifi adapter, ASUS USB-N13, and back to having stable ping.
