    I didn't realize that my computer did not have wifi capability so I was advised to get this "adapter". I had to bring in the tower so that the Geek Squad would install the drivers. It works fine although sometimes I think that it's not working all that great. Can't tell yet.

    5 Stars because it does its job

    Works fine, as far as I'm aware. It's hard to judge connection speed since the router I have to use is the WiFi equivalent of dial-up. The only thing I'll note is that I needed to download drivers in order to use the thing, which if kinda defeats the whole reason for it if you can't connect to the Internet in the first place.

    The installation was easy but the connection isnt stable at all, every 30 seconds it would go from perfect performance to no performance at all. would not recommend this if your planning to game online or stream content.

    ive had ethernet for years and i just moved to a play where i cant use ethernet. I got this because of the reviews and ive had it for 2 weeks now. Every game i play it is laggy and packet bursts every 10 seconds, every game that requires skill is unplayable. sometimes the internet even just cuts out, but only for my pc!?!?! if anyone can help me that would be very helpful. I have updated motherboard, windows, and drivers for this device. Nothing works...

    This adapter does not work with Linux, as you need to install a driver... available only on Windows (maybe Mac too, not sure).

    The adapter worked and was easy to install. However, it never reached speeds over 15 mbps. Would not recommend.

    15 mbps next room over

    I'm literally in the next room from the router and pulling a 15 mbps download speed. It's so bad. I can't play a game without getting disconnected. Don't use this for gaming.
