It isn't plug and play which was difficult on my computer w/no cd drive, but was easy to extract the setup file to a thumbdrive. That said, once it was set up there were no qualms... Any pc with a CD player you should have no issues what so ever!

I didn't want to take time off work to wait for, and pay handsomely for, a cable installer to come install cat5 cables and ports into a house I am renting. This inexpensive option was a great relief to me. Set up was easy! I'm a happy internet surfer!

I wanted a desktop pc to have wireless in order to print wirelessly and run basic software for a small home business. This did exactly what I wanted. Set up took under 2 minutes and it works perfect. Very fast connection speed and couldn't be happier.

The latest Windows 10 update to my old Toshiba laptop killed the built in wifi adapter. The old adapter is no longer supported, so I got this USB device for a workaround.
Solved the problem but is slower.

Nothing special. Took a while to set up. Has it's own program to manage internet. Kind of annoying. But works like it's supposed to.

Great value, easy to setup. Like all USB wireless adapters, the internal antenna limits how far the unit can be placed from wireless router. The included extension cable and mount gives some added flexibility in location choices.

We had a network outage in an area that can't really be down during production hours. Attaching these to our desktops and linking them to a LTE device saved the day. They performed great and kept us online.

Connectivity

Sometimes this item provides limited connectivity to connected devices. Recommend something with stronger strength unless you are doing wireless in the same room.

A elderly friend of mine has DSL and needed internet on her mothers PC in her basement. This was the slowest and least expensive of the products available, but was perfect for this situation. Setup and connection was quick and simple.

It's functional and works under Linux (with some jockeying). Used to connect my son's Raspberry Pi under Raspbian. Google for instructions...but that's why we use Linux; to learn and make a better platform!

Went to Best Buy to see why my IPhone hotspot wouldn't work with my old Toshiba. The guy who helped me knew immediately what the problem was. He sold me this device and NOW I have an extra computer that I can leave at my elderly mother's. Thanks Best Buy!!

I had a Belkin wireless adapter that worked great in our 3 story house. It was damaged in a room move so I purchased the Netgear N300 wireless adapter. It is on floor away from the router and barely receives one bar. I will purchase a different one soon.

I bought this to replace an Asus adapter to pair up with my Asus router. The Asus router is great, but their network adapter is terrible, with constant dropouts, lost connections etc. Ever since installing this adapter, I've had NO problems. Love it!

This was purchased for a pc that was put in a room that was at the complete opposite end of the house from where the router was. This is great for getting on internet and getting mail. A little slow for streaming movies.

The nursing home my mother is in moved her to another room with extremely poor coverage, so the $10 mini dongle 802.n adapter wasn't up to the task. Replaced it with this unit and she gets a steady, solid connection.
