Huge packet loss and ping, close to router and for no apparent reason. The installer doesn't work on Windows 10. Do a google search before you buy, I wish I did. Returning it

This adapter does not seem to handle heavy loads well. Fine for streaming and surfing the web, but it gets pretty warm and disconnects during games.

This was recommended by a sales rep in the store. The installation CD does not work on win 10. Had to return and get the N900 which works without any issues.

It didn't work at all. It was a hassle to set up. After I got it set up, didn't work. So frustrated I returned it. No more netgear products for me.

What a GREAT piece of hardware to Help

So i purchased this in part that i need to boost my wifi signal with my sons computer upstairs due to spectrum speed not giving me what i needed. IT boosted it 3 times the speed advertised no with the spectrum, but good enough for gaming, so much so that i am going to purchase one for myself it did so well. What a GREAT product, if you are lacking in speed check it out to boost your performance on whatever you might be needing more speed for. Oh simple to setup!

Windows 7? LOVE IT! Windows 10? HATE IT!

Ok so I bought this and the C6300 Router back in May when I decided to use my own gear for my ISP. I was using Windows 7 Pro and both worked amazingly when paired together! 10/10 350+ Down and 30+ Up. Lots better from 18 down and 2.5 up :)
Now for the bad part. I updated to Windows 10 Pro and I found out that having the USB adapter plugged in while installing will crash WX (Windows 10) at the Welcome Back screen. After reading about this common problem all over the web, it was a simple fix to just unplug it then you can proceed. Worst part now. There are NO working drivers at the moment to use this for WX! Even though Netgear says it has drivers (from April 2015???), it will not work. Google Netgear Windows 10 and you will see what I mean. I had to go out and buy a Linksys WUSB6300 which worked perfectly with WX.
