    It works well and was slightly slower to set up than anticipated. the set up was easy, just took longer than anticipated due to proprietary software requirement. It looks good and is small enough to be put nearly anywhere.

    Works great with Windows 7 but Windows 10 is not always recognizing it causing me to do a reboot to have it recognized. This is after having installed the latest drivers at NetGear for Windows 10. Hopefully this will soon be resolved.

    We purchased this when we decided to relocate a desktop computer that does not have built in wireless capability and running a wire is not feasible. The device works well on both 2.4 and 5.0 bands achieving nearly specified speed on both. Allowed efficient relocation of a home office.

    My FIOS wireless router is on the second floor so I bought this adapter for my windows 10 desktop to hook to my living room TV downstairs. It installed with no problems, and I had full bar wireless signal in minutes. It has the latest tech, so the signal speed is very fast with a capable router.

    Works just as expected. Very easy to set up and use, then forget. Expecting it to work for a long time. It is a little pricy for such a simple device. Overall a good buy.

    Didn't want to run a 75' cable for my desktop. After installing this, my old PC took a while to like it... and it works almost as well as a cable would, without ripping up my house to install... Then again, my PC is ancient in PC terms, so this works great!

    a really great buy in my opinion, easy to setup and does exactly what you want it to do. Netgear is a really good brand. The adapter even has an antenna built in that flips up which I didn't know when purchasing so it really help with pulling in the signal.

    This is my second time purchasing this item as I gave away my first one to a friend in need. I happily bought again and continue to see the same great experience with the second one! Works as intended and very easy startup process.

    I was having trouble with wifi signal going in and out in other rooms in the house. The Best Buy salesman recommended this product and said it was easy to install. I got home, installed disk, plugged it into computer USB port and wow, it was just what I needed. Hasn't failed yet!

    We just moved into a new office and the data ports weren't available for 30 days. The folks with laptops were okay, but the desktops were dead in the water. This WiFi was easy to install and worked flawlessly. I was up and running in less than three minutes.

    Was having issues with ol' mate Lappy-Tappy and while I have an ADH, I'd rather not redeem it with something as trivial as the waves.This fixed her right up and hasn't had a hiccup since.

    Previously I had the netgear n300 wifi adapter and it wouldn't satisfy my gaming needs. Always had high ping and the speed wasn't so great . With this wifi adapter I get almost the same speed as if I had it connected directly into my modem and the ping is super low. Definite buy
