    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.)

    Setting up the wireless adapter was easy ounce i unplugged the line from the modem. Took awhile to realize that was the problem in the beginning. After that it was easy to set up the Wifi and get it going. Getting a strong signal and could not be happier with the results on my desk top.

    Good External Adapter in Small Size

    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.

    Built a PC for the kids and needed an internet connection. The main source for a wired internet connection was out of the question. The most practical was to connect via WiFi. This adapter was perfect!

    This is a very good and economical purchase, however what I did not like was that I had to use a different pc with an Internet connection to download the software drivers to download install this WiFi adapter

    Purchased this because I needed it only temporarily. It was plug-and-play and worked without any hitches. Did not need it for high speed streaming or downloads, so I cannot speak to that. But for the price it worked exactly as it says it does.

    Both the product (netgear dual band wireless adapter) and the Geekscoud member who did the installation were more than could be expected in these Covid times. All work was done appropriately and timely and all function as expected,
