Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought matching a N600 router and N600 adapter they worked perfectly until the new firmware came out "v1.0.0.50" it disconnects every 10-20secs, I step down to the old firmware that i used to have which is .38 and it bottled neck my speed connection. I should be getting 35mbps but I only get 2mbps. I get full speed when I'm connected via Ethernet cable but poor speed when I connect to WiFi even if the adapter is sitting on top of the router. I have a lot of WiFi devices TV, ps3, xbox360, PC, laptop & mobile phones this won't work efficiently if you'll buy this product. NO TO THIS PRODUCT! P.S. I called Netgear to get this issue fixed and they want me to pay extra $179 to troubleshoot this **** thing.

This wasn't a bad adapter when I bought it a year and a half ago. It did its' job as long as it was manually connected to a network. Up until now my only problems were the fluctuating signal strength and connection speed, but recently the software and drivers stopped working because it was never digitally signed by Microsoft. As a result Windows XP no longer allows it to run because it thinks this is a security hazard, which has now permanently disconnected my computer from the outside world. I tried to install an updated driver/software combo hoping it would be digitally signed, but nothing's changed. I wouldn't recommend this or any other adapter unless the box it came in showed it was approved by Microsoft.

I did not use this personally but no complaints yet, must be working well.

After my Belkin wireless router finally died, I bought the NETGEAR - RangeMax Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (Model: WNDR3700-100NAS). I have a deadspot in the farthest room in the house, and was only able to get a fair G signal there using the old Belkin router with an Access Point/Extender. I was hoping that maybe this RangeMax router would get a better signal up there via the Belkin wireless G USB adapter; it didn't. So I bought this Netgear USB device, figuring that with both the router and the USB adapter being RangeMax, maybe I would get a better signal (as indicated in their advertising). Well, it made absolutely no difference. The signal strength of the N was ~50%, but the G was ~80%. Even with that, I still had frequent drops (and a very angry daughter who was happier with the much older Belkin setup). Surprised and disappointed, I returned this unit and tried the NETGEAR - Ethernet Extender Kit (Model: XEB1004-100NAS). Wow, what a difference. This thing transmits the Ethernet signal over the powerlines in your house. It works great. While I think that the Netgear USB device may be decent with its partner router for use on a laptop that roams the house, I would strongly recommend going with the Netgear Powerline device (see my other review) for a fixed computer (i.e., desktop) that lives in an area with poor signal reception.

Connection is quick and automatic, just check to make sure you are always on a trusted site. Never assume computer connections are always safe. I use this on my major system, but I have redundant security systems in effect checking everything.

Use the wireless adapter to hook come computer t a NetGear N-600 Wireless Router. Was extremely easy to hook up and has provided a stong signal when using 2.4 G setting. For our home use it provide good download speeds.

No problem with installation. I did not have to do any extensive study or searching to install the product. Installed in less than 30 minutes.

Good product,it works very good ! I asked to the young lady at best buy which one work best, she said this one,she was right :)

The modem is upstairs on the opposite site of the house and this picks up the signal w/o any problems what so ever. Very good product IMO.

Needed to add WiFi to an old computer. Super easy to install. You will need a computer with CDROM to install the drivers; just saying that because a lot of computer nowadays come without. No issues since.

I use this connection to make a non-wireless ready laptop (older model Inspiron) wireless. It works very nicely and was fairly easy to install.

I told the rep at the store what I was trying to do at home. He recommended this one and it has been great. Does what I need and have not had a problem since installing.

LUCKY ME...did not have to pay 89$ to purchase the panosonic version of their wireless dongle...This worked...Says it works on the netgear box...Easy as plugging in any other other wireless adapter. 52.99.....$37.00 savings

Probably didnt need to go with range-max USB adapter but have been in travel mode for awhile so I don't know how far away I will be from wireless servers at a given time. Now I dont need to worry about it. great product.

I have had several connection issues that seem to be a function of the seating of the adapter. It seems to be *very* sensitive to the USB port insertion. I have two USB hubs and the hub that I am currently using seems to be working better. I connect routinely at 270 MBPS which is awesome; I am connected at that speed as I type this review.

Normally when I've bought this sort of item, they work right out of the box. I had to use the cd installer for this one, but it works great. No complaints at all.

The product does exactly what it is suppose to do and it does it well. Only irk is I wish it was plug-and-play and that the unit was a little smaller.

We purchased a new desktop and I still needed the old computer for the business. This was the perfect item to get us connected without haveing to run cords/cables all over the house.

Nothing wrong with it so far. Working well. If you need a fast wireless-N USB Adapter, then this is your answer.

Easily set up with my Netgear router/network. I'm not the most technical person but setting up my kids computer to our wireless network and printer was easy as pie. Follow the directions and you'll have no problems.
