The majority of the five star reviews for this product are from reviewers who received the product free or at steep discount with the intent to provide a favorable review and boost the products ratings. Those reviews are overinflated (just look at the number of 5 stars as well as the profile of the reviewers to prove it to yourself). Normally I shy away from products with these types of reviews but at this price point (< 20 bucks and free shipping with prime) I decided to take a chance and bought the item (for full price with no incentive from the seller or manufacturer).

If you'll look at my previous reviews you'll find that I've bought (again at full price) and reviewed at least four other AC network adapter in the last several months. Unfortunately, I’ve been disappointed in all of those products to date and returned them all (thanks to Amazon for the great return policy). I’ve been trying to upgrade a Rosewill N adapter that offered decent speeds, but wasn’t... Read more

Seamless integration with Windows 10 - screw in the antenna, plug it into USB, and give Windows about 30 seconds to figure out that "Hey! I can see wireless now!" and then follow the normal steps to configure for your wireless network. Easiest installation I've ever done. I want to test to see if I can get improved gain with this over the pre-installed wireless devices in my laptops, but don't want to take it off the desktop I installed it on... oh, and the speed is sufficient to make it a viable alternative to running ethernet around doorways (I wanted the lazy option over running ethernet everywhere in rewiring some things).

Update - Two Months In: Still very satisfied with the product. Periodically (maybe twice a week), I'll lose all connection to the wireless network, and it will take at most five minutes to sort itself out (usually less than 2 minutes). On a device that is online 24-7 that is non-critical, I consider this an acceptable mean time between... Read more

I am very pleased with this wifi adapter. I chose this one because it was the highest rated on Amazon at the time of purchase. Installation was simple, and my download and upload speeds have nearly tripled.

My desktop PC had an internal wifi adapter plugged into the motherboard, which is now 8 years old. The adapter wasn't capable of 5 Ghz or newer encryption technologies and I was running into trouble connecting to my Comcast wireless gateway at home. My download speed was 28 Mbps and upload was 5. I purchased this USB network adapter to resolve my issues, and it was a success.

To install the driver and utility, run the installation disk first before you plug in the USB. Note the instruction pamphlet says to plug the USB in first, but a separate piece of paper was included in the box that specifically corrects that and states to run the disk first. If you have an old network adapter in your computer, also disable that adapter before trying to connect with... Read more
