Customers are saying

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. A few also noted that the software could be improved.

    Didn't perform as expected. This should only be used for non-demanding devices. I tried to substitute a wifi card on my PC with this because it looked sleek. I was disappointed to say the least. Never used it and didn't even bother returning.

    I used this for about a week, and whenever i was playing a video game or whenever I was watching a movie the adapter would stop working and would disconnect. I am on windows 10, and I have looked up and tried everything to get this to work and nothing seems to work. I am going to give up and return this because it keeps disconnecting.

    Immediately after opening the box the stand that comes with this item was broken, it kept disconnecting from the WiFi every 2 minutes. Took the item off the stand and instead had it plugged into my computers USB port and a not even a week in the nighthawk also starts disconcerting . Awful item would not recommend

    I had it work fairly simple to install, but after a week the connection to wifi keeps getting dropped. I just gave up on it since there is no simple way to get it to work. Maybe works great for others but not for me.

    NETGEAR support was unable to provide support, finding one piece was potentially faulty, NETGEAR refused to replace the faulty item (mounting base)... Was able to eventually get it working after spending hours researching and trying different cables/ports. NETGEAR support is horrible. Will never willingly buy their products again.

    Just google A7000 disconnect issues and look for yourself. Apparently the software is so picky on USB chipset. Do not even try it with USB 2.0 and for 3.0 it is 50-50 based on what chipset you have.

    I’ve had this adapter for about 5 months now, and it causes terrible lag spikes. I’ve narrowed it down and unfortunately it’s the adapter.
