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.

    The Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Wi-Fi receiver works extremely well in our system. It is strongly recommended for those who need an adapter for either a laptop or desk computer.

    The outside of the box said this product would work with latest macOS, it does not work with the last two macOS versions, will not install driver software. Netgear Tech support did not understand the problem and the latest driver was over a year old. Tried to use with 2018 MacBook Pro, MacBook internal antenna isn't strong enough for where I need to use it.

    Kinda bad. It drops signal way too often for the price paid. Will likely replace it in the next 6-12 months.

    Wanted to like this. Wanted to love this, but it didn't work. Did not pick up in any of my back USB slots (all 4), and wouldn't fit without cradle in my front USB either (both). I tried in the cradle and out of the cradle, with no dice.

    Honestly not the best but will get you playing games and doing other online things without interruptions if you have a desktop get one that goes on the motherboard probably great for laptops tho…. If you have no disk drive its gonna be a problem as ur gonna need like a laptop connected to the internet already to download the software it took me a few hours to find the right software to install on a thumb drive and to install on my desktop
