This device is a little bulky, but it makes up for it in speed. Great high speed adapter, works perfectly. As of summer 2019 it requires a driver download in the latest version of Windows 10. So you need another connection first before you can get this working.

Easy to install. Provides consistent solid connection.
Pros: Ease of installation, excellent performance, can connect to USB 3.0 port either directly or via a stand.
Cons: Kind of big, if plugging directly into PC, may block adjacent USB port. Associated software provides limited information.

Wow this WiFi adapter is super fast, almost no difference from wired to using this device. Very impressed how it picks up even a weak signal and gives you a strong internet connection. Definitely recommend it.

It's very fast. Getting 887mpbs out of it now. It's a bit big and clumsy but you can't get the right size antenna in a tiny version so it is what it is. Comes with a very long extender so it's easy to place farther away or hide it a bit. Very pleased with it.

Works very well, it is easy to use and is convenient. It has done more than I actually knew it was going to. It exceeded my expectations, which is more than I can ask for. I highly recommend this device.

I decided on this adapter to replace a three year old adapter that was causing problems. The adapter seemed very capable of performing at a transfer rate good for streaming and medium level gaming for a desktop on located on the 2nd floor with multiple walls and a distance of at least 80 ft. horizontally. The computer ended up being the problem so use of the adapter is not applicable to me and my situation, but I would recommend this adapter to anyone wanting an upgrade that won't break the bank and still receiving seriously good specs.

Achieves top speed and doesn't drop signal

Found myself in a place where I couldn't hardwire, which was disappointing. Purchased a basic wifi adapter and only achieved, at most, half of the speed I was paying for. Purchased the Nighthawk adapter and now always stay at top speed, and it stays connected at all times (no issues with dropping signal). It also has a nice, clean aesthetic, which blends in with a PC station easily. Can be used plugged by plugging the USB directly into your PC, or it comes with a stand (stand attaches to PC and adapter stays on stand). I prefer the stand and actually found that speed/performance decreased slightly when using it plugged directly in with the USB. Optimal performance on the stand.
Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.

This wifi plugin works GREAT. Very easy to set up and works like a charm. My son had trouble getting his desktop to pick up a strong wifi signal (the issue is with his motherboard). We bought this and within minutes he was seeing the speed he wanted. 10/10

Outstanding 802.11 ac USB Wireless Adaptero

I use the Netgear Nighthawk A7000 802.11ac USB wireless adapter upstairs in my home, and my Gigabit modem and router are downstairs. I am able to receive a consistent 300Mbits/s plus on the computer upstairs that the Netgear A7000 is connected to. It is much larger than the average wireless USB adapter, and has a strong magnet so that it can be placed on the top or side of the metal part of a computer case, and utilizes a cable to connect to a USB 3.0 connection on the computer. I use this computer for online gaming, and the Netgear A7000 provides good bandwidth for a smooth gaming experience. I have a second A7000 in another room upstairs, and it also provides a consistent 300Mbit/s plus to the second computer. The Netgear A7000 wireless adapter works better for me than Powerline Adapters, providing significantly better bandwidth. Definitely recommended.

It was very easy to install software and hardware. Our old desktop was topping out between 1-20 mbps even though our cap is set at 100mbps. This helped us reach our max speed and now I don't have buffering issues with Zoom.

Was easy to set up. Plugged it in and downloaded drivers and had stable WiFi in minutes. So far no drops in connection and my download speed is still enough to download 50gb games in 30 mins.

This is by far the best WiFi adapter I've ever owned. It's ability to received a signal from long distance is amazing. Plus, I'm getting full speed with adapter! Downside is that the USB dongle has died already and it's only been 4 month. It's such a pain!

I moved into a new home that isn't wired for Internet. My desktop doesn't have a wireless NIC so this is the device I bought to provide connectivity. I have been using it for a while and have had no issues with connectivity, setup was easy.

Purchased a gaming computer for son this Christmas, computer is great but WiFi was very slow with the included WiFi adapter. Upgraded to this nighthawk adapter and speeds more than doubled. Works great
Install was easy as well, would purchase again

My only complaint is that I have some packet loss at the edge of its range. The download speed holds up, but not good for gaming if your router is several rooms away.

amazing! so fast! I had a cheap dongle bought on amazon that would keep dropping signal. This one hasn't dropped at all and the pages load with a click of the mouse! Worth the investment.
