    This item replaced an ASUS adapter that failed after several years of use. It is working well on both bands but I use primarily the 5. It allows around 585 mb (which is about the best my laptop can do). It has been flawless in maintaining connections in various location (something the ASUS had issues with). I am pleased with my purchase and its performance

    Worked like a charm, plugged it in and I received my wifi in moments. Thanks so much. I'm 72 so uncomplicated is of the utmost importance to me. This passed the test.

    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

    If you need to get your homemade pc to connect to WiFi then get this. Otherwise get a 100 ft long plus cable and hard wire into your router

    I ended up getting this when my son's wifi died on his laptop. The controller is soldered in so replacement was a no-go. It has worked just fine, speeds are good, and I love the small profile, too. It definitely doesn't get in the way which is nice. I would recommend this whenever you have onboard wifi die on you.

    I have to move my desk for a couple months to a place where I can’t run a network cable. This was available locally and was able to cheaply get me back online. I did have some issues with it cutting out intermittently during streaming and other prolonged use. That may have been a reception issue, or my computer may have been under-powering that usb port/powering down the peripheral to save power. I’ve switched to a different solution, but am keeping this usb wifi adapter in my bag of computer tricks.

    I cannot believe how easy this is to set up. This tiny thing saw my router from the other side of the house. I used it to stream movies to an HP desktop and had no issues. Definitely recommend this. This is the very first review I have ever written!
