I absolutely love my Netfear wifi adapter! I was having to use a long ethernet cord to plug into my computer and then having to unplug it to use for my Xbox and then have cords everywhere...but then I found the Netfear wifi adapter and it has been so great, it was easy to install. I just plugged it into the USB port and it was done! Now I don't have to hastle with cords and deciding what device I needed to use. It has made my life so much better in that aspect. Thank you so much Netgear for your amazing product!

I bought this around a week ago, it has caused nothing but trouble. Went from perfectly fine speeds before my old adapter died to this and it can barely hit 1 MB/s. My internet speed is 300Mb/s, and doing the math I should get around 30x the speeds I'm getting with this adapter. Not even sure why this is still be sold in stores.

I've had this adapter for a little less than a year and it has already lost almost all functionality. It disconnects constantly for around 5-10 minutes at a time, and will stay connected for around 30 seconds before disconnecting again. It's incredibly aggravating trying to do schoolwork, or anything else with this product. For $50, you'd expect better.

Could have never imagined this little adapter would be so great for my old desktop computer!

Perhaps it is my fault for only assuming support for Win10 would mean that Win11 is backwards compatible and would support the device....

I haven't had it long enough to properly evaluate it. Download and installation were relatively easy, but the instructions didn't match what you actually have to do to install the download.

The USB adapter works well, our laptop has a 'Network Problem', It failed to connect to the hotspot or router. The solution was, to use this USB ADAPTER and it functions perfectly, connects to Hotspot on our mobil phone. It has put a new life into our Toshiba Laptop.

Why, in God's name, would you make a wifi adapter that requires the user to download the driver? You realize, I bought this so that I could get online and that it stands to reason that I cannot get online without it. How would you suggest I download the driver software, genius? So I bought a flashdrive and now I'm at a friends house and do you know what I found when I clicked on the install instructions at your website for the AC600 adapter? It tells me to put the CD in the drive. Not a link to download the driver, but instead tells me to install the CD which, I'm sure you know, is not included with that adapter. It's like selling someone a car with an empty gas tank. It's no problem, just drive on over to the gas station and fill it up. That's what your tech support guy had for me. Oh, just download the driver on another device and transfer it to your computer.

My wifi adapter on my HP laptop kept kicking on and off while working on college schooling. After talking to a computer technician, they recommended getting an adapter. After 30 minutes of programming the NETGEAR adapter, I have not had a single problem with my laptop wifi connection. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

When I moved apartments, my Spectrum installer recommended this product since my coaxial was not close to my computer. It was easy to install.

The usb adapter works like a charm. Installing the driver from the cd connected to the internet right away. I would recommend this adapter to anyone needing to go wireless.

I purchased a desktop on ebay that came with a wifi adapter. Within three weeks, the wifi adapter stopped working. I purchased a Netgear wifi adapter and had been pleased with its performance.

Did not think this was going to work as well due to its size. It's so small and convenient. I am happy and have no complaints.
