    I am very pleased with the ease of downloading the software and the speed of the internet access with this WiFi adapter. This comes with a magnetic docking station you can place on top of your computer for wide range signal or you can plug it straight into any of the USB ports available.

    I've been trying to get a wifi adapter for my desktop that is compatible with linux, and that is what this was bought for. It did not achieve that goal. It's a good adapter, as fast as the other adapter I had. It just doesn't have the proper drivers to run Ubuntu or Arch Linux. In the end I just broke down and invested $120 into ethernet cable and a network switch, which is what I should have done to begin with. If you need a Win10 adapter, this is fine. It does have a tendency to disconnect randomly, but for a USB adapter that's pretty standard. Oh, and the Netgear software is nearly useless, I just ended up using system utilities and tools I already had.

    The NetGear Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Bank WiFi is amazingly easy to set up, and I haven't had one problem with my WiFi connection since I did. I bought another one for one of my client's (lawyer) home office and set it up for him in about 5 minutes. I'd recommend it to anyone. And the price is right.

    I was about to throw my computer in the garbage because I could not get any internet connection until one of the Geek Squad agents directed me to this equipment, and let me tell you my internet is now faster than ever, and the price was very reasonable.

    I purchased the Nighthawk to enhance the connectivity of my Windows 10 HP Desktop computer. Up to the point of adding the Nighthawk to my desktop, my internet connection was not reliable with my desktop due to it being an older computer. The Nighthawk has added speed, and reliability to my PC. I love it!

    Upgrade for a laptop that had built in wireless N. In the past I could not use any other network bandwidth while copying large files across the network and now I can stream full HD video with out a stutter during the file transfer process. The only con is the size of the adapter but I knew that before I bought it.

    Fast wifi. Only drawback is that the installation software came on a cd-rom and I didn't have a cd-rom drive installed in the computer I was putting this on. I had to scrounge around for a usb flash drive to download the software on and then install from that.

    I got it because of giga blast. This is the best way to enjoy giga blast if you’re going to go wi-Fi. It’s UBS port ZEZE to set up. And it’s fast. Yes I would recommend this. Although I’m not comparing it to anything except the old UBS Wi-Fi stuff that I had but the difference is remarkable.

    This Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 stays in my motorhome and manages to get me connected to some pretty sketchy RV Park WiFi networks. It works dandy in easier settings too, but I seldom use if for anything else since our devices with connect in most places without the external antenna.

    After seeing the good reviews for this Netgear WiFi Adapter, I decided to buy one for my Dell All-in-One desktop. The Dell's internal WiFi was very unstable and would often shut down making a reboot necessary to get it working again. This USB WiFi adapter was easy to install and was an excellent fix for my WiFi issues.

    Works good, better range than the $25 versions . Only dumb thing is if you have no disc drive, you will need an internet connection to install the software to get internet…

    WELL worth the price. Connection is so good that I forget I even have it! Literally haven't touched it at all since I installed it. Only downside is how massive it is relative to a standard USB port, so it could make nearby ports unusable depending on your setup. GET IT!

    I purchased this WiFi adapter to replace a cheaper dongle that I had purchased online. This one is well worth the additional cost compared to other adapters. The AC1900 technology has allowed my PC to have much faster download speeds. Highly recommended.
