Stable, great connection, though due to the AC nature, the connection is somewhat limited. Full 5 stars as it's good and does what it's supposed to, just be aware of the data transfer limits of this type of adapter

I upgraded an older, but very expensive, Thinkpad X220 with a new SSD, Windows 10, and a new keyboard. All worked well except for WiFi...Windows 10 did not work properly with the original internal WiFi card. No direct replacement card is available for this machine, so we shopped for an external WiFi device. This tiny USB adapter works perfectly and permits very fast up- and down-load speed. The range is amazing, and I don't know how they do that! This was much easier than trying to do surgery on the internal card and BIOS. It is small and runs cool and fast. Now I have a "new" laptop.

Easily Installed, works well at decent speed, Win 10 drivers easily downloaded.

This is a great tiny adapter. The internal WiFi in my laptop went out. I bought this because it is a mini form factor and I can leave it in the laptop all the time. No additional drivers needed for Windows 10 and above. Good speed and decent range without any antenna.

Works perfectly; easy to set-up. Used in a basement with the router upstairs.

Compact and works great. Speeds are reliable and receives strong signal even at a distance.

Considering that the antenna and electronics are all contained in this tiny package, it's amazing that the performance is so good. It acquires both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and installation was quite simple. I'm using it to upgrade the WiFi receiver (only b+n) on an old Acer Netbook running Windows XP, and does the job with a hardly noticeable black USB body that I can leave in all the time.

This little USB adaptor works great! My wifi is even quicker on my desktop. I would recommend this USB Network adaptor.

Works fine. I've had one of these break before so be careful with them. Also you need to download the driver's via a USB stick on another computer first to get this to work

Worked perfectly and was kinda easy to use, I didn’t know I needed internet before hand to download something to make it work, but with an Ethernet cable I was able to get it to work.

I was having issues connecting to the internet on my laptop so I got this little thing and it solved all my issues.

A great alternative to an inconvenient LAN cable across my room. Pulling 900+ mbps download speeds and pleased with its ease of use.

Bought this to upgrade my wife's laptop from 802.11n to 802.11ac (WIFI 5). Works well and small size means she can just leave it in the USB port all the time. An adapter with a larger antenna might provide more range, but it would be more awkward to have sticking out of the laptop. Small blue LED on device shows when data is being transferred. Easy to install, but if you're updating a computer with a built adapter you need to disable the old adapter (Netgear's instructions do no include this step). In Windows 10 go to Network Settings, bring up the page that shows the adapters. Right click on the old adapter and choose Disable.

It works great! Installation was a breeze. I didn't have to open my tower to insert a special card, and it worked right from the gitgo.

Inexpensive, easy to install, works perfectly as intended

Running a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6050 with an Intel Core i3 processor. After upgrading from Windows 7 to 10, when streaming video on some websites the audio would have drops and skips. After many attempts updating drivers, restoring original drivers, tinkering with settings, and trying different browsers with no results. I was about to retire the old laptop. I borrowed the NETGEAR A6150 Network Adapter from our desktop. Disabled the built in Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 Adapter on the laptop, and installed the NETGEAR A6150 WiFi USB 2.0 Adapter. I couldn't believe it fixed the problem. I bought a second one the very next day, and it even showed up in the mail a day early. None of the support forums, or problem solved videos pointed to an issue with the built in adapter. The old Laptop gets daily use, and seems to run a little faster. I can upgrade when I see a deal I can't resist.

My system's built-in WIFI failed and I needed something that would allow me to connect to the network immediately... Simple install with Plug and play for WIN10. Solid signal strength meeting my expectations. Overall it is a very good product for the price.

This little puppy packs alot of power. I been using this for over a year and it still works like brand new. Only con is so small it gets lost easy.

East setup and works great for gaming or other Internet usage

Worked like a charm on a Windows 11 Desktop that replaced a Windows 10 workstation that could not be upgraded. No interruption in work for that user - seamless change out of hardware.
