Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a lifesaver for me! I'm a school teacher who was preparing for final exams week when the WiFi connecter in my laptop computer became disabled. When I was told it might take up to three to four days to repair, if it could be repaired, I was in a panic. My laptop had all of my school-related work on it, and I'd only purchased it six months ago. While I was at Best Buy, Vince, the service technician at the Geek Squad service desk suggested this product, the NETGEAR - AC600 Dual-Band WiFi Mini Adapter, and even helped me install it on my laptop. It worked like a charm! It enabled my computer to connect to every WiFi system I used. It worked well everywhere without fail - 100 percent dependable. I was able to get everything done during finals week without stressing about whether or not my laptop would connect to WiFi servers. Thank you NETGEAR!

Very easy to install. Insert disk in computer and just follow the easy instructions. Works fantastic.

Good speed, relative easy setup. But still need to install the driver at the beginning.

Works well, also I bought this as the wi-fi had failed on my computer and I was in a hotel. It needs access to a drive or wired internet to set up and Best Buy were very helpful, giving me access to a wired internet connection in store so that I could set this up. Set up worked well, first time and I had no problems worklng in the hotel after that.

THE PRICE WAS RIGHT AND ITS SMALL CONVENIENT AND MATCHED MY COMPUTER COLOR.

Good. Works like it suppose to do. Easy install and starts working.

So this is about the size of a half-dollar at best. Very small, and is a great option to add to any computer that doesn't have wifi, or needs to upgrade to higher and better wifi bands. The included software will control everything for you, or you can use built in WiFi connectivity in Windows Only downside, is that you can hit it easily on a laptop, so be careful that you don't hit it or lose it.

Performs well. Exactly as described. Ease of use. I recently updated the internet service and found that an older laptop would not recognize the new home wifi. The Netgear helps the laptop recognize the new updated wifi.

I WAS HESITANT WHEN MY HUSBAND WANTED TO PURCHASE THIS LOW COST ITEM, THINKING IT WOULD HELP W/THE WIRELESS ROUTER AND MODEM IN OUR BASEMENT AND HIS COMPUTER UPSTAIRS. THE GOAL WAS TO INCREASE HIS INTERNET SPEED AND INTERMITTENT SIGNAL ISSUES. WOW, I HAD TO ADMIT I WAS WRONG ! WHEN IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM AND I NOW HAVE A HAPPY HUBBY TO BOOT! GREAT PURCHASE!

This was a great dongle. I have upgraded my laptop so I do not use it anymore but it was good for me when I did. It worked flawlessly and as advertised. Being a dongle it will work in most any laptop or desktop with an open USB port.

Works perfectly. I have 300mbps internet and this adapter give me perfect signal to my computer to work on all day. Router is upstairs and the computer in the basement, but it still gives more signal that I had hoped. 10/10 recommend! Really easy set up and the cost wasn't bad either.

Installed this on my laptop to get the dual band wifi and got over 400 mbs and i was shocked for a usb adapter .. The software is real easy to install from the netgear website .. IF you are on a tight budget then this is for you to get up and running .. I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WITH A PC OR LAPTOP

Tried the Asus one for a desktop not close to my wired/wireless router a d could never get the driver to work. The PC had Windows 7 Professional. Returned it for the Netgear one and loaded the driver and it immediately worked. Definitely recommened this adaptor for any PC/Laptop that needs an USB wireless adaptor.

Worked like a charm!!!! Recently upgraded my old computer and broke the wifi on it. Don't ask. But know I got a new wifi on a usb!!! Whew! Also bought long ethernet cable just in case... That review is later.

Easy install and works great. Strong signal from several room away.

This USB Wi-Fi Adapter works great. My Laptop was having constant issues with the built in Wi-Fi card. Either dropping connections or not connecting to my Router. Using this adapter saved me from having to replace my laptop and being stressed with not connecting.

Works as designed, no connection issues, reliable. The driver takes a minute to load and negotiate, but stays connected. It only requires USB 2, and I'm using it on Win 7. If you want a cost effective wireless solution without the need for a dongle this will more than suffice.

Happy with the purchase. Came with a CD to install very easy. I have 2013 laptop and had difficulty connecting to wifi. Now I talked and connected to wifi. Doesn’t take any space at all. I forget at times that it is even connected to my laptop.

Needed a way for my mom to connect her PC to my network and this did the job. Affordable, quick and easy to install, works great!

This was a great purchase for an older desktop computer that did not have wifi built in. We were able to move it to a location that didn't require a cable and now it is very useful! Simple to install and use!
