I'm not sure what has gone wrong, but I can't get my computer to connect to the internet without being plugged into the router. I bought this item so that I could move the computer, but it hasn't worked so far. The installation went smoothly as far as I could tell, but it doesn't work for me. I will try to get someone to look at it next week and hopefully have better luck than I did!

Old usb wifi adapter was dropping the signal constantly, this one has yet to do so. Solved my issue, signal is very strong now.

I was looking for a way to convert my desktop to be able to connect wirelessly. I didn't know this product existed until I inquired within the store. Comparatively speaking, I think this product was a great option in terms of speed and price. It was easy to install and has been quite reliable thus far.

One of the best USB adapters for stability, paired with an AC router I got 4 times the speed of my of wifi card. It is large however so may be better to have it connected to the included stand to keep it safer from breaking off in the computer.

I have used NetGear items before and wanted something really strong and fast for the wireless router connection to my wife's PC. (My PC is wired.) This item was recommended by the sales associate at Best Buy and was on sale to boot. It has worked flawlessly since installation, which was quite easy.

I needed something to connect my desktop to my WIFI. This adaptor works perfectly. I was worried it woudn't be able to pick up enough signal because my desktop is on one end of the house and my WIFI modem is on the other end of the house. But it works great and has full service. It's great!!!

overall unit operates as expected, used on B/G WIFI, I purchased this unit because I will be upgrading to AC very soon and this unit should work when I upgrade. Unit is kind of expensive but I wanted to use with USB as opposed to PCI. Very easy to install but please review installation instructions before starting. Very easy

Purchased the AC1200 to replace the AC600. Our Wi-Fi supplier upgraded our internet speed. Needed the AC1200 to work with the higher speeds. It installed flawlessly and works great. Did not have any issues or problems. So if your internet provided is delivering the higher speed than consider the AC1200.

This thing is superb and I recommend to anyone looking at comparable products to buy this one. 154.13 Mbps Down/20.92 Mbps Up from speedtest.com. Of course, I am running a decent set up from a good source but the adapter keeps up and doesn't bog my system down. Once again, Fantastic product.

I wasn't crazy about the cost, but the Best Buy rep recommended it so I figured I'd try it. The set up was super simple. I plug this into an on older (6-7 year old) PC that's located about 40 feet from the router and I'm surprised how well it picks up. Still think it's too expensive, but worth it
