Inconsistent
Installed this as my built in wifi card crapped out.
Problem #1: range is modest at best. My internal, metal encased card had better range, so I relocated my computer desk. : (
Problem #2: now the dongle shows connected to my network, but has no internet connectivity. I’m writing this review on my phone as I search for a solution. All other network devices (11 of them) are functioning fine.
I’ve already spent too much time trying to make this work to be cost-effective. Will return to retailer today and get something more reliable.

Times out
I bought this 3 weeks ago and i'm already experiencing trouble with it. Quite often the adapter times out, and i'm left without internet connection for up to 10 seconds. This can be quite troublesome when i am playing internet games which demands that i always bring my A-game. The connection is'nt always that fast either, compared to wired connection. I therefore give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Horrible Quality
This adaptor constantly drops the connection, or cannot detect a wifi network at all. Even when i'm using my phone's hotspot and it's right next to my laptop, the adaptor drops the connection. I'll go days at a time where the adaptor wont even pick up my own home wifi.

Netgear Wi-Fi Adapter
The Netgear Wi-Fi Adapter was easy to install, in my old HP Computer. It provides my household with a very fast internet connection. This is exactly what was needed for my computer and TV streaming.

not so great
I bought this in 2019 and now it stopped working. I have to constantly turn back on WIFI and reboot computer to get on the internet. This item was to replace the original WIFI connection. Staples said I need a new motherboard with the Wifi network card on a 1 1/2 year old HP computer. That costs as much as a new computer.So they sold me a NETGEAR AC1200 WIFI adapter. Now that has crapped out. DO NOT recommend not reliable even for my little usage did not last 1 year.

Signal Drops OFTEN
CONSTANTLY dropping Wifi connection. I also echo all of the concerns shared by others as well. Not a good product.

Blows
Bought this about 6 months ago and it absolutely blows. Even with power control disabled (borderline unusable network speeds if enabled) the connection is garbage. Tested it with my router less than a foot away and I could barely get over 20 mbps.

perfect
I have been using this dongle for quite some time now and am very pleased with it. My old laptop has only a 54Mbps connection and with this adapter I can get up to 866Mbps. Quite the improvement for an old dinosaur of a laptop
