Customer Ratings & Reviews

After installing the drivers from another laptop and transferring it over to pc with no wifi the adapter worked. No issues after just needed to install drivers.

Highly functional and highly practical such a little product does a big job.

Works great for gaming. My motherboard didn't have wifi built in so this solved my internet issue. Was very easy to use, just plug and play and works faster with USB 3.1

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.

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

The NetGEAR USB network adapter works great. I needed it to connect to my home wifi after I chipped the motherboard

I have an older laptop that ran only 2G. Not wishing to have to try to replace the WIFI card in the laptop I found it easier to just get a USB dongle for WIFI. I am familiar with Netgear being a good product so I decided to go with the dongle for 5G by Netgear. It has been eight months so far no problems. Very simple to install. Since buying the dongle I have purchased Netgear's router with the eight ports from BestBuy. One thing i did like is their price matching for the ASUS - AX6000 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 Router. Don't know if it is still on sale, but it allows me to upgrade to WIFI 6 in the future. Should I choose to do so. I don't think much about brands when they claim one thing and do another. However with Netgear it seems that for the home the dongle and the router is a good foundation for streaming from PC, tablets and other automation devices. As with any networking device it is only as good as your network provider's service. I say this because one's expectations should not be to clear up bad internet service by purchasing a better router, because there isn't a router made that can do that. A good router will enhance the service provided by a good internet provider by allowing the devices in one's home or office to be more efficient. So if your looking to update an old PC to WIFI 5 this is the dongle that did it for me. Happy web surfing!

Got this for kid's HP laptop for school and works great..no issues installing or connecting. Good throughput.

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

Easy to install, fast, good range. Works well even three rooms away from router.

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.

Works great and solved the problem quickly. Easy to install.

Works well for connection with a stronge wifi signal

Easy to use. Easy to setup. Very sleek and minimalistic design.

The small size delivers great reception. It was easy and quick to setup. After using it for month it’s performance is excellent.

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.

Pretty simple widget. Price was very good & it works exactly as advertised. I plugged it into a USB 2 port on my PC and it performs well. I get 40 Mbps on download and upload.

Never have used a wifi adapter until now. Working from home and I use a desktop computer that is not WiFi compatible. My job sent me a TrendNET brand WiFi adapter which was absolutely horrible and slow. This one works at great speeds and I’m able to get my work done. It’s nice and small, can barely even tell that it’s plugged into the back of my desktop tower. I now have the ability to move my workspace away from my internet router and modem without having to run an Ethernet cord.

Works right away as soon as you plug it into a PC or laptop. Setup is basically instant, and you can connect to Wi-Fi within seconds. The connection is fast and reliable with no hassle. Highly recommended if you want something quick and easy to use.

Easy installation and PC adapted hardware with ease. Very good internet speeds for such a tiny device. Nice.
