I bought this portable USB WIFI adapter to help with a computer that was located in a corner of the house which did not receive a good wifi signal. This unit definitely helped and this computer is now getting a better signal. I bought a used version of this wifi adapter as a new unit was too expensive for my liking. Overall, I would recommend this unit at the used price point, I am neutral about its price point as a new unit. Here are some of my observations: PROS: The unit does help increase week wifi signals. I can’t tell how much definitely but my signal level increased about two bars. The unit is stable with no signal breaks or drop offs. The unit is larger than most portable wifi units that I have used in the past. With its base, I would not use this unit at a coffee shop as it is very obvious and large. However, without its base, you can connect the unit directly to your laptop with no obvious issues. The base unit also has magnets which you can use to position it on a metal surface if you have one. The unit’s driver, which was described as rather large in the comments section, is divided into two types. One type is standalone and a complete suite. I just used the standalone and it worked just fine with no issues noted thus far. The installation was relatively simple with no hang ups noted. Thus far, I have encountered no issues with this unit. CONS: The unit is larger than most. If you use the base, it will use a portion of your desktop that otherwise would be vacant. Not a big issue if you have a normal desk; however, if you are in cramped quarters just be aware. I wish they provided a longer cord for the base unit and made the chord a little thinner; although, not a significant issue thus far. The unit is not plug and play. You have to download the driver, its in a zip format, then decide what driver unit you want to use. It has a standalone and a suite format. I just used the standalone and it worked fine, for me not an issue, but some may find it confusing. The unit uses USB 3 or 2, but for best performance you have to have a USB 3 port open. For some laptops, this may be an issue, especially if you have other devices already attached to the laptop. I use this unit on a desktop so I don’t have this issue. I have used this unit continuously for about two weeks thus far with no issues noted. Thus far, it works as advertised.

My Mom needed a WiFi adapter antenna because the marina where she lives on her boat has one WiFi router and she's very far away from it so she barely gets any service. I bought this one from Netgear and a cheaper one from TP-Link because this one took longer to deliver and she needed one ASAP. The difference in performance between the two is MASSIVE. The TP-Link one improved the connection a bit, but it was still very slow and she couldn't have Zoom calls without the video and audio dropping out. Once she received the Netgear one, it was better than when she had a wired ethernet connection in her home. She also said that the setup was very fast and easy. Now she has zero problems with her internet. It's very fast and stable with no dropped connections, and no spinning wheel waiting for a page to load. I did a lot of research before buying one, and this is the best one by far. It's a little more expensive than the other ones, but you get what you pay for.

I've upgraded my adapter from an Alfa AR9721. Which used to work marvelously, but it got old and brought my network speed down to 4-5mbs, this adapter shot my speed up to 200mbps. I love this beautiful adapter and it's power. I feel like I'm on ethernet right now. Hahaha, it's so epic. Thank you to the seller for shipping it so quickly for me to enable me to develop my projects without any hassle. I love this amazing adapter. I have not had such a strong network signal in a long time via Wi-Fi. It's brilliant! I'm just another one of your super satisfied customers friend. Thanks for this hardware! I love it! (I realize I'm probably sounding like a broken record, but getting such a speed output through network speed tests shocked the crap out of me). xD

I use this adapter for in-home PC game streaming (steamlink, parsec, moonlight) at 1440p/120 and 4K/60 which requires a strong wifi connection to avoid video artifacts and lag/stutter. I'm using it with an Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh 6 Router and have the host gaming PC connected through ethernet. My laptop's built-in wifi wasn't good enough to handle my streams, but this adapter is able to with no problems and allows me to maximize image quality. The quality of my streams are now so high that I can't tell the difference between the stream and the actual native game. I went through several cheap adapters and none of them came close to being able to handle 4K game streaming - I always had to compromise the experience by lowering image quality, resolution, or framerate to avoid video stuttering. This adapter's throughput is only 867mb/s but it's consistent, I haven't seen it drop below that once. It is not perfect. One issue I have experienced is that when you have it connected to a PC that goes to sleep, sometimes the adapter doesn't work when the PC wakes back up. In which case you have restart the PC or unplug/replug the adapter. Admittedly, this could be a problem with the USB controller in my laptop but no other USB devices do this.

The wifi connection speed is fast for a usb adapter. The installation process is a bit of a pain, you either have to use the stand or hope you got a usb on top of pc and you have to download a software to make it work, but if your willing to do that you get a very fast wifi usb adapter for a great cost. Reccomend getting this

Does an excellent job, have had little to no problems with my wifi despite how garbage it is, near perfect other than some rare drops. You're certainly getting what you pay for. Pros: Excellent at mid range Easy setup Easy Software Most days i have no problems with my connection

Lo compré porque tengo un ordenador un poco lejos del router y no conseguía velocidades aceptables con la tarjeta integrada. Instalé los drivers usando el instalador de la web de netgear (el ejecutable 'standalone') y conecté el dispositivo. Windows 11 Pro lo ha reconocido sin problemas, he conectado a la red 5G de mi router y por fin he conseguido llegar a la máxima velocidad de mi fibra (300). Lo recomiendo sin dudarlo!

Non reconnu par Linux Pas de pilotes pour faire fonctionner internet

Top Gerät, super Empfang!

Works as advertised. It fixed my wifi signal problem.
