    My Mac brook pro started giving me problems with wifi and it dropped connection. it was out of warranty. I took it to apple store and they said it will cost $500 to fix it.. I did not want to spend so much money. I tried this because of shape and design and ohh boy.. it works beautifully. non intrusive.. just sits in a corner and does the job..

    Windows 10 install details

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'm very happy with this. The internal wifi card in my laptop died and, therefore, I had no ability to connect to the internet. The laptop also does not have a CD drive... This dongle is NOT plug and play - plugging it into the port, even with a reboot, did nothing. The unit comes with an install CD, which I couldn't use - but the instructions also had the website to download the executable install program. I used another laptop to download the program onto a thumb drive, and then inserted that into the intended laptop; unzipped the file and ran the .exe program. Then I inserted the netgear dongle and it was instantly recongnized. Works great.

    Needed this for an old laptop that's internal wireless chip died & I didn't feel like ripping it apart. This usb wireless option worked just fine and solved the issue.

    Cheap alternative to replacing network card

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My son’s network card stopped working. Found this as an alternative and it worked great. The only downside is the installation software. If you don’t have a CD drive, you have to look far a way to either get a CD drive or transfer it to a flash drive to install. Otherwise, it was a quick install.

    It is working great! I just had to download a driver and it started working immediately after. My laptop has wireless issues but this somehow bypasses those and works like a champ.
