I purchased this product for my sons computer because we moved into a location where hard wiring was not a possibility. This adapter constantly disconnects from the internet and requires me to unhook and hook the adapter back up or completely reboot computer to get it to work.
Short story stay away from Netgear.

Drops constantly. Not very noticeable at first but when your start playing you realize it drops every 4-5 seconds. Search online for "netgear A6210 drops" and you'll be surprised that Netgear is aware of the issue since 2015 but still hasn't fixed the issue. If I still had the box and CD I would return it.

I could not get this adapter to work for the life of me. After trying everything with no success I had to go with a different adapter. Unless you are used to netgear and their software, I would go with a different adapter.

Hooked this up as for some reason my motherboard ethernet port went south and I had a wifi router which is also a Netgear model. My access to the internet is very sporadic and it has to be in this unit because all my other wifi connected phones, printer,etc. stay hooked up all the time.

I bought this to match up with our Netgear Nighthawk router/modem combo. Unfortunetly it didnt work with 10 at the time. I tried working with it for about 2 days before returning it to the store. I wish I had seen the issue with the adapter and windows 10 before making this purchse.

I bought this to be able to connect my laptop to my apple router, both work with the new ac technology and can reach farther around my house and faster. Also stays connected better without lag or drops. Had trouble using installed wireless because of the n network trying to receive the ac network router. Much happier surfing and gaming now!

Trying to install on windows ten is a pain. It took me several hoirs to install, reinstall, and do over again. Had to go online and read some other post on how and which driver to install. The cd was useless. I do consider my self tech savy but this was a little to much.

I bought this because it had a OK review but I had nothing but trouble with it disconnecting, so I went to a different one I found at a further away best buy but still did not like it before returning it and getting the Asus AC1900 at tiger direct (best buy did not sell it) and I love it

Do yourself a favor and get a PCI-E wifi adapter so you don't look like a chump. By the time a webpage loaded, I had enough time to meal prep my soggy chicken. If you disagree see me at the gym making better gains than this adapter ever has.

Could never get the item to be detected on my windows 10 laptop. Netgear customer service was horrible and told me it wasn't compatible with Windows 10 even though their website clearly showed it was. Returned and went with a different company and had no issues.

Bought this today and will be returning it first thing in the morning. It would constantly drop connection and cause my OS to freeze (this never happened until I introduced this into my system). Please avoid this like the plague.
