Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for a cable box that needed access to broadband service, and the install was simple just plug it in, setup was simple and it immediately worked. My box is downstairs and the wireless is upstairs, but no problems with distance or signal.

Couldn't have been easier to start to use and the range is apparently good. Our wireless router is at the other end of our home but this has no issue receiving the signal.

Easy installation and setup. As soon as your computer is turned on it only takes a few seconds to get connected and before you know it your connected to the internet.

This was a very easy to install and use wireless USB adapter. I loaded the software, plugged in the USB adapter and found the wireless network. Easy as 1-2-3!

Plug and play - easiest network adapter I have ever set up. Connects at 270 MPS at full signal strength to my netgear router through a ceiling and three walls- probably 80 feet.

Comes with a CD for easy installation, USB extension so that the USB isn't stuck behind a computer tower. Best part is that it connected with my Comcast router. Sweeeeet.

i had bought this along with the netgear rangemax wireless n router and was surfing the net at anywhere from 230 to 300mbps but it is currently hooked up to a netgear rangemax wireless g router and is constantly at 54mbs. its a very good wireless adapter the only con i have about it is sometimes when i leave it plugged into my pc and turn it off when i turn it back on it wont always connect to the network but i found if i just unplug it when i turn it off and then when my pc boots up and plug it in it connects perfectly fine

Turned my PC into a wireless device. Easy to install. Performance is very fast. No noticable difference compared to my previous ethernet connection. Allows you to put your PC anywhere in the house if your house has Wi-Fi.

Works still after 7 years. Will say I should probably update to a faster unit.

I bought this because I couldn't find a duel band internal card for a better price. It works as advertised and I haven't had any issues with it. My only gripe is that every time I turn on the computer, it pops up to be set up again. I just hit "disagree" to the set up and "yes, I'm sure" and then manually click to connect to my router. It's a slight pain, but I don't mind. I'm sure there is a way to fix it, but it doesn't bother me enough to get out the manual.

This product took minutes to setup and worked right out of the box without any fuss. I love products like this. Performance is also great.

Loaded the CD and that was it. Took longer to open the package. Works great. Router over 100 ft away and still strong signal!

Since my son just built his first desktop we were unsure what type of adapter to buy, a friend recomended to buy the same brand as our wireless router at home and it turned out to be a great buy , the wireless usb adapter is working great.

I purchased this product with some doubts. Most USB networking devices I have used were not that great, but this one works as strong as a direct line. The computer I'm using is in my office in the basement while my router is in my bedroom on the 2nd floor, but the connection makes it though all the floors just fine where other products have not.

I have had this since the 25th of May and I have to say I have been impressed thus far. I may purchase a netgear router to go with it ( currently using the Motorola extreme surfboard that is a router/modem ) As far as review wise I love this adapter though seriously.

Great product to turn your desktop into wireless! Easy to install and flawless performance are the name of this game! So glad I gave it a chance!

Summary: This WiFi adapter will not get you max speeds if there are any walls/doors between it and your router. And even then, I suffered from occasional hiccoughs (see below). Netgear's A6210 (AC1200 High Gain WiFi USB Adapter) performed much better for only slightly more money. But the biggest problem was connection quality rather than speed. With this product, both YouTube and Facebook native videos would occasionally suddenly drop out with no warning. The situation: I have an Alienware computer whose built-in wireless adapter is terrible, getting me only 40 Mbps max download speeds. With a hardwired ethernet cable giving me the maximum possible speed, I get 180 Mbps download speeds (Xfinity). My modem/router (also from Best Buy) is a Netgear C6300 (AC1750 WiFi Cable Modem Router - 1300 Mbps theoretical max speed). With this wireless adapter, with my bedroom door closed, I get 100-130 Mbps, which is actually good enough for me even though it is well below the 180 Mbps maximum. I believe the problem is this product's "antenna". It's small size probably prevents it from getting the maximum speed. With my bedroom door open, it does work at my max speed of 180 Mbps. But either way, it caused unacceptable video playback issues. Comparisons: 1.) My iPhone 6 gets 180 Mbps with my door closed or open. 2.) Netgear's A6210 (AC1200 High Gain WiFi USB Adapter) also gets me full speed whether my door is open or closed, probably because of its better antenna shape. It is much bigger, although I get full speed whether I use the extension cord or not. And even though it is bigger, I can still plug it directly into the back of my computer and it fits right next to all my other USB cables (printer, mouse, etc).

Inexpensive and simple to set up! Have it running my PC to my Apple Airport Extreme with no problems!!

Easy to setup and get your device reconnected. Easy to follow instructions and great reliability.

Absolutely fantastic adapter. Very reliable, and pretty easy to setup.
