    My adapter died out after about 4 months...which wasn't fun to deal with. Speeds clocked from it were good, and the range isn't that bad...wish it was a little bit longer.

    This USB adapter was not compatible with the device I purchased it for, but this was based on a poor recommendation by a cable company. Therefore, I didn't get a chance to test the adaptor but it was as described.

    My internal Wi-Fi quit working and rather than purchase a whole new computer I just purchased the Net Gear RangeMax IEEE 802.11n USB-Wi-Fi Adapter. It works great so I purchased a second one for my travel kit so one would always be with me.

    This device is amazing! The internet is floating all around us, everywhere. It's in the food we eat and the air we breath. This little gem captures the floating internet and feeds it to your computer so you can enjoy it better.

    Wifi suddenly stopped working on my computer. This product broke right at the 1 year mark with no abuse, just sitting there. I would not recommend it to anyone. While it worked it did good though.

    Plug in and go. It's that easy with your wireless network. The Velcro doesn't work well, so I added tape to hang it higher for better range. A slightly longer USB cable wouldn't hurt either. Overall, happy and wireless.

    Bought this as a wifi adapter for our PC which my boyfriend built. Works wonderfully. We have the nexgear 650n router, and our 650n USB adapter pairs with it perfectally for continuous, fast wifi service. Very pleased.

    No problems. Just need to do basic computer stuff but also like watching Netflix HD video on computer. No hiccups as of yet. Main Internet router downstairs and the USB is in my upstairs office--no problems with linking and transferring data.

    Horrible wifi at the office so I use my substitute with this. It also is extremely convenient when I need to use a program that my two i devices won't support while I'm out with clients. I'll use this with my laptop.

    Could not get my wife's old laptop working on the hotel WIFI and needed a new wifi card in a pinch. This one worked perfectly and my wife continues to use it at home.

    This device is a big help to me after having a liver transplant because I no longer has to go all the way downstairs to the family room to use the main computer. I can use my laptop in the upstairs bedroom.

    Picked up a few of these for a work project. The overall performance is good. I had a little difficulty in getting it to stay connected. Uninstalling/Reinstalling the drivers seemed to do the trick.

    I am a programmer and computer maintenance person. Even Netgear's tech support page was no help with software install. Windows 7 loaded a driver for it by itself and the product works great. Love the adapter but software sits in the package.

    The product is as advertised and does a decent job. Sometimes it does drop signal but for the most part it functions as it should, allowing my computer to receive wireless.

    I really have found this device to be useful. We didn't have a connection for our PC where we wanted to put it. So rather than paying to have someone come in and wire our house for a connection this was the next best alternative.

    I have a computer in the house that needs the Wi-Fi adapter. I used Netgear before, but it went out. After five years I had to replace it and this is just perfect for a home computer.

    We use it for our desk top computer. I seems to do the trick with minimal hassle. The inernet works fairly fast on it. We are quite pleased with it. Its so easy!

    This was perfect considering Panasonic no longer had any in stock. When I searched the internet and then spoke with the young man at Best Buy we thought this would work, and it did. I also saved $50 by purchasing this one.
