My wife's desktop computer would constantly drop wifi connection. I tried to reinstall drivers and update drivers, nothing worked. I purchased this as a last result. After installation it connected and has worked.

My new computer is not WiFi ready, so I needed a WiFi adapter. My modem is almost across the house and I have no problems with getting internet on my computer with this WiFi adapter! It was on sale and I decided to get this one because it works for more distance. 1200 feet vs 600 feet for the less expensive model. The installation CD was simple, then plug in the adapter and find your WiFi!

For its price, I say its worth it. I don’t have an ethernet for my pc. But the adapter works well with the connection.
Of course it does take a slot on your pc. Be aware of that obviously.

The only issue I ran in to was that you needed to be able to connect to the internet in order to download the drivers, that is the issue, you need internet connection which is why I bought this as I didn't have the desk top near the ethernet connection, the workaround was to use my Note 10 as a hotspot to allow this to connect and then download the drivers, they should just include drivers on a USB to get on the web and then update any firmware.

The product is good and functioned as originally intended. Unfortunately it could not meet the need I had when purchased. Tried to hook it up to my security dvr to bypass running ethernet, but just couldnt work for my dvr

I made the mistake of getting a motherboard that wasn’t WiFi capable for my gaming computer and this fixed the problem! I had great internet while using it. No lagging or internet issues at all.
