    Was not able to provide WiFi on my older window 7 computer, although the instructions said it could. Had to hard wire to my router for internet service.

    This adapter does not work! I spent an entire day trying to install, dealing with IT department, and it was never possible to get it done. Tried all USB ports, downloading the latest version of the driver online, using the CD, but still my PC could not find the driver and adapter never worked. I bought a Linksys, went back home, plugged the USB adapter in, and bam! hello wifi, with no CD necessary, no waste of time. It took me 3 minutes! I am so disappointed I wasted a whole day because of this product! stay away! Buy Linksys instead!

    Worked as intended just be aware that you can download the driver for it through alternative means to the provided disc. I personally tethered my phone's wifi to my pc with a cord and just downloaded straight from the provided site that way.

    Speed was very very slow, about 10% of rating. Swithched to Netgear A6210 model and speed was blazing fast, around 350 vs 25.

    This wireless network adapter works great. I've used other small adapters in the past but they didn't seem to work as strong as this one. I would purchase this again.

    It says it can maintain a speed of 1200mbps, but it doesn't even do 1/4 of that. Meanwhile every other device I own (much slower devices than my PC powered by a 3070) is able to do faster speeds on the same wifi, and all those devices are further away from the modem. Horrible purchase.

    Returned for credit. Have 80mbps connection, only would DL at approx 28mbps. Often disconnected from the internet which would require a manual re-connect. Will have to go back to hard connection from router to PC.

    Best Buy told me this would gix my computer that they supposedly fixed. It did not my comp still won’t connect to WiFi. You have to plug it in directly to the WiFi modem. So don’t know if this works or not as it’s not working for me.

    Product probably works just fine but got this for a netbook that the WiFi card went out on. Only installation options were to go to website or install disc, neither of which were available to me.
