    Quick and easy set up, never drops the connection. I use it for world of warcraft and it gives me no hiccups, lag, or latency issues even in 25-man raids.

    This network adapter was a great improvement to my network. The adapter was easy to install and works consistently. Network work speeds of 450 MB is consistent. I have bought 2.

    Not a huge fan of the bundled Netgear software to manage the adapter as it's redundant and just complicates things. Upside is that it was easy enough to install the driver without the management software.

    The campground where I stay has WiFi. Unfortunately the signal is a little weak. I had a Netgear N300 Wireless USB Adapter and upgraded to the AC1200 Wireless Adapter. My download speed has improved.

    I use this on my desktop PC. When connected, it has a very strong Wi-Fi signal. It does tend to drop the Wi-Fi signal every once in a while, having to reconnect. Overall, it usually does a great job.

    My wifi on my laptop stopped working. This is a good alternative to getting a new laptop since there was nothing else wrong with it. It was very easy to set up and worked with no hassel.

    Doesn't stand out for performance but it is ok. Too big to plug directly into machine -- have to use the extender and set on an adjacent surface.

    I worked at a non-profit in which we helped set up gaming PCs for veterans. I would travel to their home with custom built PCs and set up the rigs. However, most gamers use ethernet ports rather than a WiFi due to latency and lag issues. However, this particular veteran's home would not allow us to move the Modem nor did he want to run a 40foot ethernet cable through his home. I purchased this on the fly to get him connected to play online etc. This adapter has worked flawlessly, easy to set up (with no disc needed), and showed practically ZERO latency issues.

    Had these for years and needed another one for he wife working at home...Solid signal working on first floor with router on second floor. Pair this with a Netgear modem/router and I forget Im on wifi. See no difference between my hardwired desktop and the remote desktops. Definite buy...its Netgears main business. If you have computers without USB 3.0 and higher you wont see the full speed though due to hardware limitations

    This is now the 2nd one I've purchased from bestbuy, and I am thoroughly impressed with the performance of this little thing. The first one, is used in my house, and although the pc isn't far from the router, this makes me confident that I am getting the best transfer speed possible! The second one is used at my work, and the router is pretty far away (maybe 100ft with about 6 walls in between) and it works just great! I am very happy with its performance, and so far has been my go-to suggestion for external USB wifi adapters!

    Upgraded an old desktop for my son to play computer games on. Works excellent through walls. No noticeable lag time and no complaining 15 year old. What else could you want?

    Good for Online Media Consumption, not Gaming

    It comes with a dock, but there were connection problems with mine whenever I tried to use it, so I had to plug the wireless adapter directly into my laptop. note that if you plug into a laptop, it will cover up the ports next to it and wont let you plug anything in beside it. Connecting to Wifi is pretty easy, you can do the "button on the router" thing which speeds up the connection process. Connection is great while watching videos online. I am able to watch YouTube videos at 1080p without any lag. The video will start right at 1080p, none of that nonsense where it starts at 240p and works its way up to 1080. However, Gaming online wasn't good. When Playing Battlefield One, my Ping was constantly in the hundreds. It wasn't much better for Overwatch, with other players stuttering all over my screen, and me getting killed without realizing what just happened. So basically, this is great for Online Media Consumption, but not good for gaming.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
