Customers are satisfied with the Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Band WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter's ease of use, strong WiFi signal, and performance. Many appreciate its extended range and relatively easy setup process. However, some customers experienced connection issues and found the adapter to be somewhat large and expensive.

    Windows 10 Compatibility Issues - Had to return

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the AC1900 for gaming. Due to some kind of compatibility issue with the drivers (I tried both the ones directly from the NETGEAR website, as well as the ones that came stock in the box), the signal will completely drop once every 5-15 minutes. These constant disconnections served as a huge source of frustration and I ended up returning the product after trying to troubleshoot it myself for over two weeks to no avail. I even tried purchasing a second one, thinking to myself that the first piece of hardware might have been defective. Nope. It's definitely the drivers that run with the device. If you look up "Netgear A7000 disconnects" on Google, it appears that I'm not alone in having these challenges. as scores of other people have reported the same thing. Ultimately, I ended up buying an Ac1200 (slower speed) Linksys USB adapter that I haven't had nearly as many issues with.

    Good product. Worth the investment I you need to increase your Wifi speed from a basic Wifi adapter. I had a cheap adapter, and with this A7000 adapter my speed increased by about 10x. Make sure to download the driver from their website.

    If I could give it a zero I would. Encountered known problem where it connects to WiFi, but not internet. Tried uninstalling/ reinstalling no avail, Netgear and Windows pointed fingers at each other. Total BS Seriously regret buying

    I've had 3 of these and all of them started to have issues only a few months of owning them. They all start losing internet randomly and having really low transfer speeds making playing online video games or being in discord calls unbearable.
