BrosTrend1200Mbps USB WiFi Network Adapter for Laptop, Desktop PC of Windows 11/10/8/7, USB 3.0, Wireless Adaptador AC1200 Dual Band 5GHz/2.4GHz

It fixed my problem, arrived in a timely manner and worth the price!

Well, I may end up having to post an updated review if the Adapter's performance ends up being inconsistent, as other reviewers have noted. But I just installed it, and so far it is working great. My laptop was dropped a very short distance - it seemed fine, but its wifi connectivity went out not long after that (and the laptop was less than a year old). After an expensive time on the phone w/NetGear customer service to no avail, I ended up trying this. Installation was easy and I got a great signal immediately. (I am in the same, but a different part of the room my router is in.) Works great so far, and I'm happy to have such an inexpensive fix to restore WiFi connectivity to my relatively new laptop!

It works, comes with an easy setup mini-cd.A few things to criticize:1. Despite it being advertised as usb 3.0, it does not work as a usb 3.0 device. I have tried installing the wifi adapter onmultiple computers to test this. On the device manager, it says it is on a usb 3.0 port but does not go into "Mode: USB 3.0"Not a serious thing, but that's one of the key things I was looking forward to testing.2. The device feels a lot lighter than it should for the size that it is, but that's just a design choice I feel is a bit weird.Other than those two, the device functions well and the utility gives a very detailed breakdown of the various details of your wireless networkincluding your MAC Address, up and down speeds. and signal strengths. But if you are looking for it to blow your mind with its advertisement of"USB 3.0 PORT WORKS 10 TIMES FASTER THAN USB 2.0" than you will be disappointed.

this is the 2nd time I purchased this product the 1st time it was for me it worked well this is a gift for someone.

Once I downloaded and installed drivers from the website in the installation guide the item locked up with Wifi and has remained stable since. Very happy with the product.

I HATE this thing!!! With a passion hotter than a thousand suns.....It is simply the most shoddy, unreliable pile I have ever had to deal with. Why is it, it can sit there blinking away happily for the whole time while I'm not using the computer but within 30min of trying to do something it just stops working??? In fact, it just did it while trying to write this. When I notice I no longer have internet I have to go through a routine.1) Try to jiggle it in the USB socket. There is so much play in this crappy device that you have to jiggle the contacts to make sure they are actually contacting.2) If that doesn't work, I right click on "Troubleshoot Problems" which prompt tries to reset it. Usually that works.3) If 2) doesn't work, then I wiggle it in the in the USB port again then try the troubleshoot.4) Worse case is I have to eject it, blow on it to cool it off then try inserting it and starting all over.In the past with my old built in 2.4G adapter, I can walk away from my computer and come back and start working when ever I want. Not this damn thing. If I want to guarantee problems try that. Now, at minimum, I have to turn off the Wifi. But its better if I not only turn off Wifi but pull the thing out of the USB port altogether. But even then that only guarantees me about 29minutes before I start having problems. In the middle of a movie and it starts buffering... sure enough, the damn thing has stopped working. I'm taking online classes. This is so unreliable that when taking tests, the only way to ensure I don't get kicked off line is to eject it and use my old built it.So..... I found a new 5.8G capable WiFi card and as soon as it gets here I would rather rip my computer apart putting in than spend another damn second with this piece of cra@!

OK, here's the scoop. This thing works. Plug into your USB port and you have a second wifi channel that works just like your laptop's regular wifi. No muss. No fuss. No installation needed. It picks up all the latest versions of wifi and the throughput speed is good. If you have an old laptop with no wifi, or with old versions of wifi connectivity, this thing is a bargain.If however, you want to get this so you can get better wifi in places with a weak or iffy system, it's probably not your best bet. It did not pick up and work as many wifi connections as my three year old laptop does normally.So, depending on what you want it for, it may or may not be good.

Got it to make my PC work with my wireless network without needing to buy an internal card. Installation is you plug it in and install the drivers from the mini-cd. After a couple minutes it was up and integrated into windows, so super easy to use. I have my wifi router right next to the computer, so can't speak for the range, but compared to a wired connection, no noticeable change in connection speed. The other day must have pumped about 10GB worth of video and audio through it back to back via internet with it being so responsive I had to check if it was still wired or wireless. It was wireless. At short range no difference observed for a 60mbps connection. I like that unlike an internal card with limited compatibility I can hook it into any machine with a USB port. Haven't had it for long yet, but so far it does exactly what I got it for to a high degree of excellence: remove the LAN wire from the PC without loss of connection speed so the printer can be a network resource that my other devices can print directly to. Works well, mission accomplished.
