    This mini usb wifi hub works like a charm. It was cost effective, the set up was a breeze and the speed at which it works is amazing. I have yet to experience lag or a dropped connection and that's while running work programs, hulu and a spreadsheet processor at the same time. Makes my older pc seem new.

    I purchased the TP-LINK - Mini Wireless N USB Adapter because wi-fi was not working properly on my Dell mini-10 laptop. I installed the driver from the included disc, plugged TP-LINK into the USB port and everything work great to connect to my home network. The speed is very good approx 36Mbs to 45Mbs - I have a 802.11g router and the TP-LINK is connected to a slower laptop via USB 2.0. I have used this TP-LINK on a desktop computer also. Installation was quick and easy - no issues. This product works well on Win7 and Win8.1 computers. The big selling point for me is the size of this TP-LINK - Mini Wireless N USB Adapter is quite small. The location and size of the USB 2 ports on my mini-laptop is quite tight - this product fits nicely. Lastly, the price was VERY good!

    The TP-LINK - Mini Wireless N USB Adapter worked easily and perfectly right out of the box. I needed a wireless connection for my desktop to access my files on an external drive connected to a router on a different network. Was connected within 5 minutes of this adapters arrival. Speed was running at about 35 Mbps compared to the 50+ I was getting wired, but quite sufficient for what I was doing.

    I am a big fan of the TP-Link - Mini Wireless N USB Adapter - Black because it was a breeze to install. I simply put it into the USB port and since I was connected to the internet via Ethernet, I did not have to use the driver CD. The drivers downloaded and the device was up and running iun less than a minute. It doesn't get any easier than that. The adapter is small and compliments my black case.

    Using this until I get an internal card. Works fine. I prefer N protocol in a log cabin and longer distance from router. Just put in usb slot and works. Happy.

    I bought a refurbed Dell Optiplex for the house so I wouldn't have to keep hooking up my laptop to a monitor and keyboard for long work sessions. Without WiFi, I was tripping over a cable and couldn't see paying more for an adapter than I did for the computer. This has far exceeded my expectations and provides flawless wifi connectivity to my desktop. DISCLAIMER: computer is only about 5 feet from router so I can't attest to longer distance connections.

    I needed a simple to use USB wireless adapter for a secondary computer that had a failed CAT5 connector on the motherboard. This works wonderfully on a Windows 7 operating system on a computer located in my basement with the wireless router located on the main floor. I would recommend this adapter for a simple solution to a wireless internet connection.
