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.

East setup and works great for gaming or other Internet usage

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.

This usb offers high speed internet capabilities for all of my desktop builds. This is my go to WiFi adapter.

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!!!

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.

Works great when my wifi on my lap top quit working

This item testored our internet. It works perfectly and not at all expensive.

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.

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.

Easy to install, just download drivers on the link and plug it in.

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

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

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.

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!

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

Device is very small, compact and movable. I’ve had no issues with it and it is mostly flush with the system. I’ve not had a snag on anything yet. Sometimes I leave it in the laptop. As my computers WiFi chip was fried in someway reason for purchase and it does its job fine.

We are very happy with the adapter. Our old adapter wouldn’t connect with our new satellite system. The geek squad technician recommended this one. We are back online now.

I bought this for a desktop computer that only has wifi available. It works fine. Be aware that you have to download software for this to work. I used a laptop to download the software to a flash drive and then installed the software on the desktop. The installation was easy and the desktop is wifi capable.
