Works great when my wifi on my lap top quit working

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

It works pretty well, the wifi doesn't turn off as often as it did when I was using the failing card in my computer. It would be nice if a driver were available with the unit rather than available as download from the internet, since the entire purpose of this object is that my computer couldn't connect to the internet.

It works great! Plug and play, connection is strong!

This nano device is the best I have found. I had a different brand adapter and when I change my Wi-Fi to high speed fiber Internet, that device did not work. I decided to buy the one from Netgear. As soon as I connected this device to my laptop, It started working at the high-speed 5 MHz connection. It is a very reliable device. I will recommend it to anyone.

The wifi on my old gaming laptop stopped working. I tried everything to fix the problem so I wouldn't have to use an ethernet cord constantly or pay a big chunck of money to replace internal parts. This external adapter was a perfect fix and was easy to use.

Super small, worked great on my old laptop. Never had any issues.

Works well now that the software was downloaded and installed. My laptop was having an issue connecting to WiFi so I was instructed to get an USB Adapter. In order to use this particular adapter you have to download the software from the website - which is hard to do if you do not have internet connection... In the end I had to use the Mobile Hotspot from my phone to connect my laptop to the internet and then was able to get install software to be able to use the Adapter. I guess some adapters come with the software installed already and once you plug into laptop it installs automatically - so just be aware that this is not the case with this specific one.

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

Well priced wireless adapter. Easy set up. Small size is a significant plus.

Plug and play; perfect in every way! Also, reasonably priced as such things go.
