    It brought the necessary software in an additional USB drive, making it seamless to install on an old Windows 10 PC that had no network connectivity. Once connected the installation was plug and play. I was online within minutes of connecting the adapter. Connectivity is fast, resulting in the expected Internet speed of my house wireless network.

    This product is where you STOP AND BUY. Perfect for computers with outdated internal wifi OR systems that have wifi issues with a bad card or whatever it may be that is keeping you from getting on the internet (if it is something to do with your computer system).

    Solved my WiFi Connectivity Issue

    Despite what a lot of online reviewers opined, I took a gamble on this gadget and it fixed my connectivity issues. I was suffering from an unstable, marginal WiFi connection issue, due to distance and interference issues between the router and my workstation. I bought this gadget, simply plugged it into the USB port on my computer, no setup at all, and was rewarded with a strong, stable WiFi connection.

    I works with Linux out of the box

    I bought it because I needed it for my Linux system and the driver is in the latest Linux kernel. In other words, it works out of the box on Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora) without having to install the driver. (Linux drivers are usually not provided by the network card makers.) Other than that, it works on Windows too (after installing the driver from the enclosed USB stick). Speed is OK, 350 Mbps on my home wifi, on both Windows and Linux. In exactly the same location, my MacBook Pro gets close to 400 Mbps. 4 stars instead of 5 because of it's proven that speed did not hit the max allowed by the wifi network.

    Really good and fast adapter. Strong signal, i can use it across my house! Only issue was at the beginning when first used it would start lagging and i would have to unplug and reset it pretty much. Overall good item but the lag issue can suck if you get it.

    Currently staying in an extended stay. I have a gaming desktop and I love running a few games of apex or star citizen after a long day of work. The wifi is horrible but this device saved me from boredom. I have no lag whatsoever when playing apex legends! Star citizen is a bit complicated due to the game being in testing so can’t fault this device for that but overall I am EXTREMELY happy with this purchase. Set up was super easy and I was gaming right away after a driver install.

    I have over 40 years of experience working with computers, including a college degree from 1987. I grabbed this specific adapter because of its specifications proved it to be the best choice for today and the future too. I installed it using the provided USB thumb drive, which has the software and drivers on it) and it took right off and got connected immediately. I have tested it since for many hours over many days and I love it!

    Wife's PC would not connect completely to my new modem. Her existing adaptor was only working about 40%. Decided that we get her a new one and this was exactly what she needed. It was almost too easy to install and connect. A great buy.

    Important-You will need to download software for this to work. I did not realize this when i purchased it. I purchased this for a new computer i built but didnt have access to ethernet, i was able to take my pc somewhere to install windows and then this software. Ive had this for about a month and a half and its very few times I don’t immediately connect to my wifi network. Ive had to unplug and plug it back in only a handful of times and im really pleased with the product.

    Huge difference - even on Windows 10!

    I recently bought and installed a Nighthawk WiFi 6E adapter. I was worried that my Windows 10 O/S was going to throttle it back to WiFi 5 and it would be no different from the WiFi Nighthawk I already had. No such problem - the new WiFi 6E Nighthawk works significantly better than my older WiFi 5 adapter. The signal strength through the walls is consistently strong and I no longer have to worry about issues during Zoom and Teams meetings. I've extremely satisfied!

    The internal network card was dropping the wi-fi connection a lot. I thought of replacing the card...again, but then I thought why not try an external adapter. My biggest concern was speed. Will I lose speed? Not with the NIghthawk AXE3000. I didn't lose any speed and more important no more dropped connections. This network adapter is simply awesome. The stand and cable also provide for optimal placement.

    This thing gets excellent signal all the way in the furthest corner of my house (the router is in the middle of my house, about 25' away through 3 walls. Consistent speeds, hasn't dropped signal in the year that I've owned it. Would recommend to anyone with a desktop without built in Wi-Fi capability that does a lot of gaming and downloading.
