    I had a desktop PC computer that only had an ethernet port for networking. Needed to connect to WIFI. This item did the trick. Worked with normal USB port and connected with no problems. Worked easily with Windows 10, no set up needed. Might be different with older versions of Windows.

    Set up instructions were super easy to follow and took less than 10 minutes to install and connect. The receiver has a decent length of wire to the USB end so you can put it higher and/or closer to a wireless router. All in all, it has functioned extremely well and reliably with no dropping or fading of the signal.

    I bought this adapter to replace older Cisco adapters that I had which only connected to B/G/N but were flaky in the connections that they established. The speed gain from going to AC was very nice but what had been nicer is that the connection has not dropped once in the 2 months since I started using this adapter.

    I needed to add Wi-Fi to a Windows 10 PC and knew that it was at the margin of the router's range. This dandy unit plugs into the nearest USB port and unfolds to be its own antenna. It has a magnet to secure it to the top of a metal case or can be further elevated to extend the range a bit. Fantastic.

    Very easy to use and easy to set up. I have an older desktop that we moved into another room, and we don't have an ethernet plug in this new room. So, this is a great option and it works fine. Speeds seem to still be very fast, even though wireless.

    Moved and took a desktop from the office to work from home. Computer was not wifi compatible and was placed in a room without Ethernet. Found this and it connects my computer to the WiFi just great! Been using it for about a month with no problems.
