Wireless USB WiFi Adapter for PC: 1300Mbps WiFi USB, 802.11AC WiFi Adapter for Desktop PC, Dual Band WiFi Dongle Wireless Adapter for Windows11/10/8/7/Vista/XP, USB Computer Network Adapters

In my day job, I'm an IT Guy, network admin, user support, the whole deal. I've been doing it for decades. So like the painter who's house always needs a fresh coat, or the carpenter who needs a new roof, the thing I want to do least in life when I'm home from work is to deal with my own PC/wireless network setup. I tend to run some older desktop units for my own and family use, which work just fine for our needs. But they don't have built in wireless cards. The CPU's run Win-10, but are over 10 years old. I needed a new USB wireless adapter and surfed on Amazon for the best, most economical unit for our own limited needs. I settled on this one... but I messed up and ordered two by mistake. Oops. Rather then cancel and start over, I decided to ride it out and see how they worked first. They arrived quickly. I plugged one in to my USB slot, entered the SSID for me wireless network, and it worked instantly. Plug and Play! Perfect! No driver downloads, no configs to wrestle with, no swearing.... Sweet. And it's fast. Much faster than my previously wireless adapter. So I think I'll keep the 2nd one as a spare. It'll be a simple, fast, efficient replacement/install if I ever need it. And it's not all that expensive to boot.

Other reviewers provided the very useful information that thin device does not actually have to have the drivers that come with it downloaded from the mini-CD shipped with the product. Windows 10 and 11 already have those drivers installed. This is great news for those just setting up a new PC. You should have Internet connectivity right from the start. I went ahead and installed the drivers anyway, thinking they might provide more setup features. Anyway, Microsoft did offer updates automatically, or you can go to Control Panel, Device Manager, Network Adapters, and see if there are updates available. The device works great, reliably. I use a USB extension cable to get the antenna in a more favorable location. In my setup, different floor from the WiFi router, I'm obtaining something from 220 Mb/s down and 320 Mb/s up, to as high as 340 Mb/s down and 400 Mb/s up, with 400/400 Mb/s FiOS. Good strong signal. Simple installation, fast, stable performance, never needed tech support, so I could not rate that aspect.

I got this because the TV app I use kept buffering and losing the signal from my internet. My desktop is barely 6 months old and the speed on it is shameful too. This little gadget seems to be working rather well so far. I am definitely NOT techhy by any means, but got it set up pretty quickly. It is pretty much plug and play, but the directions are a little confusing. There are two little booklets that come with it and they seem to contradict one another, but follow the instructions in the one marked fast install guide first, it looks like the others are in case your computer doesn't pick up the drivers and you have to manually install them. And you have to install it on the USB port on the backside of the desktop, NOT the front ports. I didn't see this until after I'd been working on it a bit. My speeds on my desktop are again back to the level that I am paying for, and the TV app is running normally, no buffering or loss of signal. I wasn't sure about getting this, but after my experience, so far, I'm glad I did. I've only ad this about a week or so, if anything changes, I will update the review.

Easily connected to computer. I used it to set up a new computer as the integrated wi-fi and Lan connectors had to have drivers installed before it would be recognized. keeps running into errors as I had to bypass internet connection during setup. Plug this baby in, inserted my operating system drive, recognized instantly. I was able to sign into my Microsoft account and installation and updates were installed without hitch. I definitely recommend this product for setting up these new motherboards.

I ordered this thing late Friday night and it was here Monday. Great on this seller to be prompt and attentive. As for the adapter, thing worked great. I read the instructions but hey were not really necessary as it started up as soon as I plugged it in. Now the speed has nearly doubled. My son is stoked. I bought this for his desktop that is located at the back of the house and he loves gaming and watching YouTube. Naturally being the furthest room he also had the worst WiFi signal. So after the 100th time seeing the disappointment in his face I decided to buy a new dongle. I came on Amazon and saw the price. Thought it was too good to be true, but if the stats were legit then it would be a heck of a value. So I bought the thing. Next day already have tracking on it. Come Monday it’s already here. How do they do it? Anyway I plugged it in came up right away. Asked him to try his YouTube since he often has to watch it at a lower setting. Worked great and quick. So then I ask him to up the quality and frame rate to the max. Thing totally did the trick. Now he is watching high quality videos ion his computer at the back of the house totally stoked I tell ya.
