Seemed to Install quickly and easily – BUT maximum of 90mb/s right next to the router! Was going to return it – but after fiddling for a whille got itr to work okay… I borrowed a laptop with CD drive so that I could copy the supplied driver and Realtek utility app. After that, I used the app to log in to the 5mHz signal and then was able to update the driver and away it went! I got about 300mb/s on 2.4mHz and a full 500 mb/s on 5mHz = again near to the router, but range did seem to be goo with the long antenna.
Arrived on time and well packaged. Very easy to install on Windows. Simply plugged in to a vacant port on my PC and windows recognised it and installed instantly. Never even had to use the disc or instruction booklet. This was to replace an old dongle that had stopped working. It works fine although I am not sure that the speed has been improved any as a result. Only gave it 4 stars for Wifi and gaming as it has only been installed for 2 days, so hasn’t stood the test of time yet.
I build gaming PCs and people love to have wifi. I’ve tried many different types and have decided this one is the best value and easiest to install. It does come with a CD with drivers but Windows 10 has often just started working with it without the need for the installation disc. It picks up wifi from my neighbours 2 doors down so the range is good. My wife has even used one to improve the wifi from her work laptop and her office has bought a few for other staff.
Worked straight away – no need to download software.
However, from time to time it loses connectivity for no apparent reason – only fix is to remove it from the USB port and reinsert.
Purchased as needed to improve the wi-fi speed and range of my Dell desktop – the built in wi-fi card was horrendously slow. I followed the instructions in the enclosed booklet, and the speed really kicked in. I was getting <1 Mbps previously, but am now getting >100 Mbps. I am running Windows 10 and unlike some other users, I did install the relevant software from the enclosed CD. I was also sent an email from the supplier with links to a website to install the necessary drivers, but the CD was sufficient. I would try to plug this into a USB3 slot if you have one, as the resulting wi-fi speed will be quicker than USB2.
I use it for 2 months and my experience is quite good but sometime it start dropping signal.when i take out and in then again start working perfect. Price wise it’s also good one.
Bought this to replace a problematic built-in network adapter in my Lenovo IdeaCentre PC which had stability issues on 5Ghz wireless channel from my router. At the price I didn’t see I had anything to lose. Firstly you DO NOT need to use the supplied driver/utility CD for installation on Windows 10 and on installation the unit locked onto my 5GHz wifi immediately so I disabled the built-in adapter via the windows device manager. It works OK using USB 2.0 port but I got buffering when trying to stream HD video, so changed to USB 3.0 port and problem was resolved. Data throughput was measured at 433mbps and perfectly stable. I suspect this limitation over what the claimed throughput could be is down to the router/PC combination so maybe a higher spec PC would give higher speed advantages.
Overall I’m satisfied that this is a good USB wifi adapter at a price that’s exceptional. No-fuss installation is also a bonus but remember you will should use Windows device manager to disable any built-in adapters to prevent potential driver and firewall conflicts.
Took a little longer than expected to get working,
The QR link for the driver that came with the dongle was dead ,
The instruction booklet didn’t have a section for Windows 10,
But a bit of patience and found the correct driver online,
It works well now , one star dropped for the aforementioned reasons.
Couldn’t really download any drivers as it came with a disk and a QR code which I can’t really scan with my pc. WIFI speed is excellent, every time you boot up your pc it connects decently quick. Gaming wise I have a few stutter issues within games like Valorant however those go away within seconds and they’re hardly noticeable. This is the first WIFI router I’ve purchased and very happy for the price (14.95 at the time of purchase) and have read under some reviews on other products that there are really bad ones. I’m grateful I bought this one and did not have any issues with it at all.
Overall, highly recommend for anyone whether you’re going through youtube and google or gaming for hours upon hours (like me).
EDIT:
Still really good after 8 months, however be careful about the size of it. I’ve accidentally hit it a few times and 8% of the time when you turn on the pc it doesn’t detect a WiFi. however unplugging it and replugging it resolved the issue 🙂
Used this to connect my Windows 10 Dell. It comes with a Realtek App which makes it simple to connect to either 2.4 or 5 Ghz. I have a wall and ceiling between the PC and Router, found full signal and link quality on 2.4GHz. On 5GHz had full signal but only 70% link quality. Both connections are fine for browsing and streaming but I’m not a gamer so can’t comment. I’m happy overall for the price.
It worked first time after plugging in. Just had to connect to the WiFi. I haven’t used it much though but I only seen to get about 25mb speed of a 150mb line. So not sure it would be good enough to game on. But fine for surfing the Web etc. For that reason I knocked a star off.
Only 4* due to the fact that the disc wouldn’t work in my PC. Plus it was scratched and had finger prints on it.
Downloaded the drivers from the website to my laptop and they didn’t work either! or from any other download site.
Tried the disc (after a good clean) in my laptop and BINGO!!!! Loaded driver onto a USB stick. Into the PC. Plugged the USB adapter in and all is well. But a waste of 2 hours.
I used to connect my PC via an ethernet cable through a powerline adapter, but it use to drop the connection a lot and I mean a lot , turn on an appliance on the same electrical ring main- drop the connection, switch off something – connection drop, boiler fires up – connection drop, you get it and it happened so much that playing games that needed a constant connection was out of the question.
Not any more… I can connect directly to my Fibre Broadband Router with 5G and I get a brilliant connection thanks to this little beauty. I average over 300mbs download and nearly 100mbs upload and that’s with my two lads upstairs with their gaming pc’s connected as well. NO DROP OUTS – REPORTED TO DATE
Extremely pleased, happy and over the moon with this dongle and for just over 10 – awesome
