WiFi USB Adapter Usage

I got the adapter due to not having a WiFi card in my PC tower. When the hard drive crashed the driver could not be recovered. I downloaded the driver an all is good.

easy to plug in, easy to setup

I upgraded from my older AC6100 adapter. Netgear Genie was already installed. It took less then 3 minutes to go thru the prompts. Works fine so far (somewhat 1 week)

I'm so glad I stopped at Office Max and bought this WI-FI antenna. The girl on duty explained how it worked, and what it would do for me. LOVE IT.....

Netgear Adapter A6210 - Great Product!

I tried a cheaper adapter and it was a piece of junk, had to return it. Bought this Netgear AC1200 Adapter A6210 and am very happy with it. Easy installation, easy-to-read instruction pamphlet. No problems at all~ I would highly recommend this product.

AC1200 wifi adapter

Works well with Win 10, Linux Ubuntu 22, and Mint 20. Both Linux distros were plug and play.

Easy Setup

The AC1200WiFi USB Adapter was easy to install and put to use. Being a non-techie, the PC upload speed increase was immediate (from 47 to 315 Mbps. The download speeds remained unchanged from my previous 37 Mbps. Pleased the device works seamlessly on my PC. Was hoping for better improvement in my download speeds.

Worked great right out of the box. My previous adapter was a cheap little item that just stopped working. You get what you pay for, I guess.

Great USB device

In my last house my computer was hard wired via Ethernet to my access point. Now that we moved it?s too difficult to hard wire my computer so I tried this USB device and it works great. I only do large downloads of programs/updates and videos and so far this is just as fast as my wired connection. I had doubts, but they are gone now! This little device is great!

Connectivity Issues

Won?t stay connected to wifi, constantly disconnects when it?s needed the most, makes downloading games and programs an absolute chore. Tried reinstalling drivers and older drivers multiple times, connection lasts a few hours to mere seconds before disconnecting again. Was the only Wi-Fi adapter available at my local Walmart, will absolutely be getting a different companies wifi products in the future.

Constant Connectivity Issues

Will not stay connected for longer than a few hours, to just a few seconds. I know the issue is not with my wifi itself as i can connect on multiple devices with no problem. Driver updates and software downloads do not fix the problem. Resorted to using a very old, tiny little wifi antenna that has never had any issues, and is still the case. Do not buy this atrocious product, its a waste of money.

Compact and simple to use

When my older WiFi access point showed signs of age, I needed to find a replacement. Based on my prior experience with Netgear, I selected the A6210 primarily because it was compact and had the option of direct or cabled USB connect. I've been using it for several weeks now, and have had no issues with installation or operation.

Nice for the job

I use the AC1200 on a Windows Desktop with stand-alone driver. Works great and stable. The additional dock is the icing on the cake for the purpose described above.

Buy a Different Adapter

This adapter disconnects abruptly and without warning every 15-30mins and then reconnects 2 minutes later. There are fixes posted on forums that do not work, the problem will still persist. Especially for gaming, this adapter will get you booted from just about every game due to the frequency of disconnects. Take your money elsewhere!!! This adapter has singlehandedly guaranteed me to never buy a netgear product again.

Great usb wifi adaptor

By SharonS

It is so easy to install and the design is sleek and modern and fits anywhere. I used it when my built in wifi on my laptop stopped working and the signal was much faster and stronger with this. I would recommend this to anyone it is very beginner friendly. I would buy other products from netgear because I liked this one so much.
