    Stable connection, great performance. MUCH better than the junk built into my laptop. And it's incredibly small and unobtrusive. Windows 11 detected it immediately. No need to use the driver disk (you would hope not by now, but...)

    I had a work trip that had me living in a hotel for a few weeks and I wanted to bring my computer. I don’t have motherboard wifi so I had to find something to work since the hotel didn’t have Ethernet. It was almost plug and play, all I had to do was download a small driver and once that was installed it worked like a dream. It was able to easily support most games I like playing ie, overwatch, apex, LoL, which was kinda surprising.

    I built my own desktop pc a couple years ago and just moved and no longer can connect directly via ethernet as my PC is not directly next to the modem. This allows me internet access to actually use my PC. Make sure before using this, you move your PC to wherever your modem/router is, as you need to download drivers first to ensure this will work properly.

    My HP Envy was unable to connect to identify wifi connections and the computer technician recommended purchasing this to fix the issue. The alternative was paying for expensive insurance to diagnose the issue. I'm glad that I went with the first option, which ultimately saved me hundreds of dollars. I just had to insert the device into the drive and I was surfing the web in no time! Great purchase!
