Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Inexpensive, easy to install, works perfectly as intended

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.

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.

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.

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.

East setup and works great for gaming or other Internet usage

Bought this Wi-Fi ready USB adapter for an ethernet only desktop computer i bought from a 3rd party. I was looking to use the desktop into an area that didn't have an ethernet plug. After a lot of research, this NETGEAR device was just the fix I was looking for!!!

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.

The connection is so great that I have no connectivity issues. My only complaint is I didn't know I'd have to do a direct connection to the internet to set it up. That was a little tough since I had already set up my desktop and I had to undo the setup to download the software but that was a one time thing. So make sure to download the software before setting up your desktop.

My old laptop wifi adapter has not been working for many years and I had to resort to using an ethernet cable to connect to a router to surf the internet. However, this usb netgear network adapter was easy to setup to connect to our Eero from Hawaiian Telcom at speeds of about 450 Mbps to 600 Mbps upload and download speed far from the router via wifi. The A6150 has up to Gigabit ethernet connections without the cable. Therefore, it is great to have as an alternative to the ethernet cable or if your wifi hardware on your laptop is not functioning. Amazing speed and small package so not as noticeable when plugged in.

Casual online gamer here. I've had this router for a little over half a year, and it works very well. The speed of the adapter will largely depend on how well your connection already is to your router/how close you already are to your router. The speeds are not going to be better than what a wifi card can get you, but if you're in a situation like me and your wifi card broke and can't be replaced, a Network Adapter like this will work if you're already really close to your router or already have a great connection. I play Genshin and my router is across the room, (no walls in between) 300 mbps speed and my ping sits in the low 50s-high 40s which is great for the game, I never get any lag or slowdowns. My wifi issue now is basically non-existent and I don't really have plans to replace my wifi card anymore. And if you aren't a gamer you probably won't even notice the difference. Fair warning though, this won't make your connection stronger as I said before, and the signal will be bad if you're significantly far away from the router; in my previous home I was two walls and an outdoor hallway away from my router and the speed was obviously very poor, and in this case you'll definitely need a wifi card to get a good connection. As far as Network Adapters go this is the one to choose in my opinion.

It worked well, and connected instantly to the network without any issues. I would recommend.

I purchased this item for my daughter. She works from home and her computer is wired into the router and the cable runs through the game room, so I trip over it all the time. Great price and gets the job done. Unfortunately, her employer does not allow employees to use anything but wired connection for work.
