    Game-Changer Wi-Fi 6 Upgrade – Fast, Stable, Easy!

    This NETGEAR Nighthawk AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 USB Adapter is fantastic! I plugged it into my older Windows laptop, and the setup was super simple – no hassle, drivers installed automatically. Speeds jumped dramatically: from spotty 50-70 Mbps to consistent 200+ Mbps downloads, with zero lag or dropouts even far from the router. The flexible antenna lets me position it for the best signal – perfect for streaming 4K, online gaming, video calls, and heavy browsing without interruptions.It's backward-compatible but shines with Wi-Fi 6 routers, and WPA3 security gives peace of mind. The build feels premium, compact yet sturdy, and USB 3.0 keeps it snappy. If your built-in Wi-Fi is weak or outdated, this is an affordable, reliable upgrade – highly recommend!

    This product was easy to install and worked shortly after plugging it in. The range is very good and has no problem providing internet access to my computer through several walls, one of which being a sheet metal wall, which can often be problematic with wifi connectivity issues.

    It works excellent! However, the construction of the component is so wide that I am unable to use the USB port beside the one for this.

    he Netgear AX1800 USB 3.0 adapter works very well and was easy to set up. I noticed a big improvement in my internet speed and connection stability right away. Streaming videos and video calls are much smoother now, and the signal is strong even in rooms farther from the router. It’s a great upgrade for older laptops or desktops and definitely worth the price.

    For years my PC always had slow download speeds and would often disconnect when playing online games even though my home wifi is quite fast. I realized my pc wifi adapter was the problem and was just outdated. After buying this netgear adapter, my PC speeds are on par with my phone and everything is so fast now! My modem is in the basement while my PC is in my upstairs bedroom, so if you're looking for a product with high speed and long range connectivity, this is it.

    This replaced my internal network adapter, which had suddenly lost its ability to use the much faster 5hz channel. Took no more than a minute or two to disable the old adapter and get this USB dongle going. ZOOOM!!

    We purchased the Nighthawk WiFi adapter from Best Buy and it’s been a solid upgrade. The setup was quick and easy, and the connection has been faster and more reliable than our previous adapter. Streaming and online gaming are both smoother now, and we haven’t had the random drop-offs we used to deal with. Overall, a great buy that made a noticeable difference.

    Easy install and worked just as intended. My PC is a little older and didn't have built in wifi and after moving it to another room I didn't want to deal with drilling holes and running network cable.. so this was perfect!
