This wireless adapter works great. I have it for a computer that has no wifi capabilities. I would say the computer is about 75-100 ft away from the router and connects great every time. Easy installation and setup. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

I somehow lost my wireless driver in my laptop - off to Best Buy - I had no idea what to do. Salesman presented several possible options, suggested I go with this one. Brought it home, followed directions and was back in business quite quickly! Thanks BB.

I was starting to think it was my router or my computer, but I finally found an 802.11 AC adapter that will connect and stay at AC speeds. I have owned other devices and they initially connect at AC speeds, but after a while, they drop down to 200 or even 140 Mbit

The only downside about this is you need to use windows. I have a MacBook and had to download windows so I could use it but other than that it holds connection well and has pretty good range!

Put the CD in..loaded..installed..plugged into USB when prompted..worked perfectly...Performed an un-requested Live Download to update which killed the USB adapter. Would not work. Uninstall to re-install would not work. Problems!! Called Netgear. Told to go to website to download a driver. But hey without the adapter worker how can I do that? Got a notebook and a USB flashdrive and went to website to download new driver. Netgear site demanded personal info prior to allowing download so I gave that (unfortunately--what a scam to get your data) download to flashdrive and ran set-up and it all magically works again. Not sure I trust Netgear--curious how the tech immediately offered this solution as if everyone calls regarding this and why it wasn't fixed up front.

Love this adapter. It is backward compatible to USB 2, but we have it plugged into an available 3.0 port and it is blazing fast. No connectivity issues - linked up with our AC router instantly and haven't had any connection stability issues. Highly recommend it.

Love this! It works so much better than our older outdated one. We had to put this in our basement office because our router and everything is on the upper level of our home. Works super awesome!

I was working on an older machine that had Windows XP, and I needed a wireless card. This was available and had drivers for Windows XP. Yes I know XP is out of date. It’s a hobby thing.

AC connection is recommended if you want the full speed out of your internet. I had an N network and it only went up to 50mbps on my 400mbps plan. Now, I go over 350Mbps because of the AC network that connects to my Arris modem.

I just plugged this little USB device into my computer and instantly screens popped up like they should, and I'm able to do everything faster than in a long time. I liked it so well, I bought another for my wife and her computer is working so much better too.

When the device works, it has a strong and fast signal. The software seems flaky though, as I have to sometimes remove the device and reboot my PC to get it to work again.
