    Excellent, Powerful Wireless Receiver

    I have been utilizing this wireless receiver for several months now and it functions as expected and I have not run into any issues that warrant a complaint. A note: If you have powerful internet (200mbps+) and you're going to utilize the Wireless AC functionality of this device - be sure that you are plugging this into a USB 3.0 slot. USB 2.0 will not support the full functionality of this powerful device.

    Went to BB and the sales person seemed pretty savvy about what he was telling me. I tried to engage him but he out smarted me many times and that gave me confidence to purchase this adapter.

    I switched from landline internet to cabled sourced. I needed a good wireless router at a reasonable price Netgear is the one to go to. Works great not like a cheap one I picked up at a discount store. It never drops the signal. But don't install the software from the disc if you have windows 10, but go to the website for Netgear and download the install from there. It will save time and frustration.

    I was very reluctant on getting this product. But speaking with the sales person who assisted with my decision, i am glad that i made thsi decision. Quick and easy setup instructions and provides me the option of placing the port on the dock (provided) or in the port in the computer. I will recommend this to other users as well if you are wanting to have your desktop/laptop if not already wireless.

    It's been a great little dongle. It's been on 4 different towers and it hasn't had any issues connecting. I did have a minor problem with initial setup on one computer as the drivers came on a disc and the tower did not have a disc drive in it. Easily fixed but definitely something to consider when purchasing

    due to working at home I had to run a ethier net cable through out my home. Well no more not that I did my research and was able to buy and pick this baby up at best buy. No more cable through out house, haven't lost a step with computer or internet speed. Most of all no more hearing my wife complain about tripping over this ugly cable.

    I have an old laptop and was getting only 19-20 mbps on download internet speed tests while my desktop which is hard wired to the internet was getting 120mbps. Comcast came out and replaced the modem/router with no change in the internet speed tests. So i disabled the laptop modem and purchased the Netgear - Ac1200 Wireless-ac High-gain Wi-fi Usb 3.0 Adapter - Black and now get between 100 to 120 mbps download speed. Success!
