    Perfect solution for an older desktop that needed wifi access. I can't believe this small device actually works but it does and was exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price. The range is impressive!

    This is a small USB dongle. Make sure you select a high speed USB port (if available) that is hopefully not obstructed by other devices that might cause interference. The drivers, once installed should be followed with a reboot. Go into your WIFI adapters and disable the onboard if applicable. Enable your new AC wireless adapter and select the 5G antenna of your COMPATABLE router. Remember - You need an AC wireless router to take advantage of the additional specs this offers, otherwise buy a cheaper compatible antenna. For example, the onboard WIFI NIC died so you opt for a USB version to suffice. The instructions are not great, they should supply a bit more info what was presented here. You can install a WIFI adapter but if you don't configure your machine it's just going to continue to use what it knows about. Finally, if you can run a physical cable to your machine that has a network port, DO IT. Nothing will top the connection speed or extra security you get with that type of setup.

    Had to setup a new machine for the kids away from the router. This did the trick. Easy to setup, low profile when plugged in so there is little danger of it getting snapped off and it provides a steady connection so they can do schoolwork, stream music and play games. Great purchase.

    I was nervous using a desktop after having a laptop for so long, and I hadn't even considered how I was going to connect to the Wifi. Fortunately, this little thing (the size of a nickel) did the trick. It was easy to install and gives me a strong connection to the internet (through the wifi router.)

    Needed an external adapter after discovering that my new computer's built-in adapter had horrible range. This little NETGEAR adapter has solid range (not as great as I hoped, but still good) and gives the me chance to use 5GHz connections as well as standard (2.4GHz) setups.
