    This adapter is simply great. No issues performance wise, and installation was a breeze. Windows 7 was able to install even without the Netgear software.

    I had to turn my desk top wireless and through the coaching of some friends and a very helpful tech at Best Buy, this has turned into a great purchase. There are times it seems a bit slow but overall a very good result.

    Great item right out of the box. Load the disk that's provided then it's plug and play. No issues with download or upload speeds. No weird buttons to push for router recognition either. Heck Id buy it again if I needed another.

    I would have given this device a full 5 bars/stars but sometimes this device gets corrupted in Windows XP. The connection needs to be repaired to fix this which makes it a minor thing to deal with for me. I have purchased 2 of these devices. My son has a more up to date computer which runs Windows 7 and has not had a problem at all. This minor problem does not occur very often on the Windows XP system and seems to happen at random. I will keep my eye on it to see if I can figure out the root of the cause for this issue.

    Allowed us to build a network at our new computer center at the Jericho House -- a non-profit effort that helps the homeless find home. This device will facilitate access to web job sites for the residents.

    I've had this product for over 6 months and haven't had any problems with it. I really liked that it came with a dock so that it wasn't sticking out of my desktop where I could hit it with my leg on accident.

    I purchased this to use with the CNC mill machine in my home shop. No complaints at all. It was a snap to install and works flawlessly.

    this wireless n works OK but had some problems. like when i forgot to unplug this thing when i first install the software. the product didn't function they way it was intended. a full system redo was in order to get the device the function the way the device was intended to work. and the 5.0 GHz part couldn't get a single on my desktop even though i got the same name brand router with that 5.0 GHz channel. Xbox one could get the 5.0 GHz with it's own wireless transmitter but not this product. hopefully with the development of windows 10, this function could be resolve soon.

    Need another Wi-Fi adapter for my garage computer that runs my computerized Christmas light controllers. Connected with no problems. Now I don't have to keep switching from one computer to the other with my old adapter.

    This is a wonderful invention. I am so glad to get rid of the Ethernet cable. This device simply plugs into the computer and takes up very little room. I don't have to worry about tripping over the cable anymore.

    My laptop's wifi quit working. Geek Squad talked to us about sending it in for repair. When I explained I couldn't afford it right now he suggested this little item and helped me choose one that suited my needs.

    I am not a huge fan of wifi as it is just not as fast as wired networks unless you shell out a lot of money for the hardware. This card works pretty well, but it is just not as fast as it could be.

    Work fine it only has one draw back that I have found. Some times it will not wake up when the computer does. So you have to unplug it about every other time you bring the computer up.

    Netgear N-900 WF-FI Dual Band Adapter: The cradle that comes with the Netgear N-900 DB is great. My DVD is low in the rack, (router is "up there') in another section of house - and it a good router) so DVD was trying to get signal from a router thru A/V cabinet, 3 walls (4 counting closet door and clothes in closet). I wish a cradle came with the USB Dongle more often. Pre-Netger my signal was insufficient. Once installed the Netgear/cradle had the signal topped out.

    Product was easy to install and made a real difference in WIFI reception in a densely populated apartment complex. This product is a must if you live in an area with multiple competing networks.
