Easy to use and serves its purpose well. Focus on what type of connection you need based on the router to not over or under buy with these connective devices.

Computer ran slow and I thought it was the computer. Once I pluggged it in the computer ran so much faster. Saved me from buying a new computer.

This adapter has worked flawlessly for 3 months now! Fast connection for wifi and was very easy to set up. Turned my pc into a wifi capable unit and cut the cords.

I bought the NETGEAR WiFi Adapter when my laptop's internal card failed. The adapter worked flawlessly out of the box, no driver or other installation was required.

Works Well, but there's a software error

So this Card is good, and will get high speed Wi-Fi like (100MBPS+). But the software CD that comes with it is buggy. When the installer prompts you to "insert the network card," the software can't find it, but the computer will recognize it! I tried this 3 different cards with 3 different computers and they all had the same error. It won't find the card with the software, but since the PC recognizes it, it works. And the software acts buggy when "checking for updates," and never finds them while connected to Wifi, like it should. Other than that, it works well.

I was able to setup a wifi Extender in a work office and then use this wifi USB adapter to get a computer on the network from a far distance. Happy to not have to run a long cable in the ceiling :-> !

My desktop has only 2.4GHz wifi adapter onboard.
I bought this adapter to use the 5GHz channel of my Netgear dual band router.I followed instruction on manual, the driver was installed, but no luck with the program to utilize the hardware.
issue 1) netgear program won't start after installation
issue 2) netgear program slows down PC.(could not shutdown/reboot)
my advice: DO NOT INSTALL SOFTWARE COMES IN PACKAGE NOR TRY TO DOWNLOAD FROM NETGEAR.COM!
just plug into USB port to let computer install driver, then connect to desired connections (2.4 GHz or 5GHz)

Hooked this up to my son's PC and so far it's working fast and efficiently. Easy setup. We will likely get another for our daughter's PC.

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.

I ordered this because my new computer did not have a wireless card. The router and modem are in the office several rooms away and the antenna pics up the signal well enough for my needs.

It took a little extra configuration but I'm blaming that on Windows and my network. I'm getting fantastic speeds on the two computers in my house that use these.
