    It worked really well for the first couple months and then it started dropping the Wi-Fi multiple times every day. It was almost like it lost usb connection because if you pulled it out and put it back in, it would work great again. I only recommend this product because for the price I paid, it did it's job.

    Life saver since we don't have a 5g computer. Connected to internet with ease and no problems setting up. What a difference it has made with connecting to wifi and speed is so much better.

    This product works pretty well. I was getting poor wifi to my pc and there was no way to run ethernet from my router so this was my solution. My only downside is that it apparently needs to run this netgear bloatware in order to get the full speeds. thats annoying.

    If you're an avid gamer or have your computer not even in the vicinity of your router.....this AC model is primo. Great signal and no latency issues. I have my main desktop positioned roughly 30-40 feet (and on a high 2nd floor) from my AC router.

    My older computer did not have built-in Wifi, and had been connected via a network cable. When the cable failed, I needed some other way to connect to my network. This did the trick! And it was so easy to set up!!

    This adapter is stable and extremely fast. I watch HD video without any problem. The downloading speed can achieve 8MB/s. The only disappointment is there are some small technical problems when setting it up though I figure it out finally.

    Small, good price, and excellent antenna! The the included cable is long enough to use plugged into the back of a full ATX tower with this cradled on top of the desk! Fast setup, no issues (Windows 10)!

    It was pretty easy to set up and the connection has been pretty reliable. I tried to install a pci wifi adapter card at first, but had issues downloading a working driver. Used this usb adapter instead and it works great!

    My son bought this so the Internet would pick up better in his room. Apparently it works because I haven’t heard anything else about it

    It solved my latency issues caused by still being on the 2.4 GHz band, it setup easily enough with the included software. The software is also fairly informative as well, beyond the standard "X number of bars" (which it also includes as well).

    I bought this for my mom's ancient computer that was not Wi-Fi ready. Set-up was simple and she is now happily connected again. Only 4 stars because the speed is less than stellar. However, for the few things she needs online, it is more than enough.

    I still use this as my daily driver, for my upstairs computer. The router is downstairs, so I needed something fairly strong to receive the signal. And this does the job. It's not always full strength signal, but certainly enough to get the job done.

    I have using this for over a month now, and it has doing wonders for me. I use it on my desktop computer and have been playing a lot of games on line and haven't really had any lag issues at all. I recommend you picking one up today.

    I had a cheap adapter before this one and kept losing interest. Went out and the person in the store told me I needed a better one so I bought this one. It is great my computer does not lose interest anymore. Glad I bought it.

    It works pretty well. My desktop needed a wireless card because I had always hardwired it, but I recently moved and couldn't hard wire anymore. The wireless card works pretty well. I pay for 100Mbps and get that speed with this wireless card
