This got good speeds for avout 9 days. Now it gets less speed than my wifi ac adapter. I still get 1200Mbps with my phone on 6e but with pc less than 300. This device is worthless.

Frequent signal drops, poor installation media options, and more netgear bloat than I expected. Whoever designed this thing and ignored the phrase "plug and play" in the USB standard should leave software development permanently. This is significantly more expensive than smaller USB WiFi dongles that more reliably maintain a connection and take up significantly less deskspace.

Second NETGEAR wifi adapter, wasted my money. These things work fine for a bit then have mind-shattering issues with lag. If you can, just buy a PCIe wifi card.

I like this product since it can help provide WIFI to my desktop server that I can’t connect to ethernet. A major downside is that it doesn’t support Linux which sucks since most of my servers are Linux-based, and I tried to get it working, but the solutions didn’t work mainly because of limitations. I was using Linux Mint btw. Overall, good product but please give support to Linux-based distro like Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint.

I went through the installation process multiple times to ensure I was following the guide that came with it and I still could not connect to my home's wifi. After searching online for help I came to realize this model fails to connect to wifi when it needs to use the 5.0GHz bands. Couple this with the device not being able to use 6.0GHz bands at all on Windows 10, and you have a worthless device. If you are running Windows 11 then maybe it will work just fine for you.

I don't know why, but it seems like most USB Wi-Fi adapters are simply poorly made. I have purchased probably a half dozen of them over the years from $30-$150 and they all pretty much consistently fail sooner or later regardless.

You asked for my review. It could have been mentioned in the product description (not just buried in the specs ) that this does not work with iOS. Not expecting this issue , I did not try to install it within 15 days, so I can’t even return it.

Tried on two different computers. Used the flash drive to install programs, drivers updated! Neither computer can recognize that anything is plugged into the usb port.

I ordered it and it took 10 days to show up. In the mean time I ordered from Amazon, got it in less than 24 hours. Do not offer if you cannot offer lol.
