Works just fine
The last Windows update DELETED the wifi driver on my old HP Envy (circa 2009/2010) laptop. On Amazon, the product details state that it comes with an installation CD. Mine did not come with a CD (see picture for package contents)- this was why I marked it 4 stars. When I plugged it into the USB drive, nothing happened. But after a little jiggling, it connected to the computer and started blinking blue. Started picking up wifi networks right away. Speed lags a little behind what I'm used to, but hey, back online again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily converted my desk-top to wi-fi
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

I had been using ethernet connections for all our internet connected devices. As you can imagine, it became a tangled mess of cables all throughout the house. I eventually decided to switch to a wireless mesh router system. Most of our devices were already wi-fi capable except for my desk top computer. This little adapter changed that. I simply plugged into a USB port and added it to the network. It was very easy to set up and my computer works just as well as when it used the ethernet cable.

I've bought 3 from this manufacturer over the last few years.
They install easily and they are dependable. 2 were for laptops that only had 2g, so we could get 5g speeds.
And 1 went into a laptop with 5g that didn't have enough distance capacity to maintain a consistent connection. Now it does.
After installing you should disable the built in wifi connection so you always have the 5g adapter available.
It's also pretty short do it's harder to bump into, which will help it last longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy install on a Mid-2010 Apple Macbook Pro running High Sierra.
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2023
Verified Purchase
This WiFi adapter comes with printed instructions for LINUX, Windows and Mac installations. Though the paper manual has extremely small print, there is a PDF User Manual on the included Mini-CD together with all of the required installation files. However, Apple's built-in CD/DVD drive won't accept the 80mm Mini-CD but only regular 120mm CD/DVD. Don't try to slide the included Mini-CD in the slot or it could get it stuck, or even worse, it might damage your drive. So, an external tray loading CD or DVD drive would be required. Once the CD can be accessed, the installation was a breeze using the installation software. It took about 3 minutes and a quick reboot. Then logon to the desired WiFi network and that was it. Great signal and fast data rates. Note: This adapter will not provide the same functionality as Apple's built-in WiFi adapter, so some functionality like "FindMy", which shows the location of your device on a map, will be lost.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, works as intended not as advertised, basic setup but not as intuitive.
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
To preface, I'm currently employed as a manager of system administration for a fortune 500 technology company. Solving obscure, unclear, and non main-channel brands technological installations is something I've become sufficient at with years of experience. I bought this device for my fiance's Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.5. I copied the drivers folder, and there were multiple folders for the Mac OS X driver packages. I assumed the folder labeled "Mac 10.9_10.10" would mean any version of Mavericks to any rendition of Yosemite, this device would "just work". This was not the case. I installed the package, rebooted, and the Network Utility app in \Applications didn't launch. I analyzed sample logs of the program where no error was being thrown, launchdaemons were deployed as expected, but no user interface for me to connect to our home network. I removed this driver package completely, went to an alternative folder labeled "10.6_10.12". Rather large selection, but I figured that'd be the next best step. Upon reboot, instead of trying to use the Network Utility App, I went into Network preferences and sure enough, the USB adapter showed up on the selection side of the menu however had no integration with Mac OS X. All options were grayed out however when I clicked on my newest icon on my toolbar on the top of my screen, it performed like a normal WiFi selection as an adapter should, connected, and all services that my fiance use were fully functional. I took one star away for not being very user intuitive and the user manual only showing Windows XP installation graphics for installation.

The device lost another star because advertised speeds are not met. I have a very... niche relationship with network and my home is currently supported with about 6000$ of Luxul equipment and I live in an area where gigabit internet service is being ran into it. I understand wirelessly, it's currently close to impossible for a built in wireless card (like the Airport card that Apple uses in this 5 year old MBP) to reach anything close to even half that. I was hoping using an external adapter I'd get something worthwhile, but even next to the main router or one of my several WAPs the adapter was not pushing more than 200 mbps download and 100 upload which is less than half the download speed that this device is advertised for. Luckily, my fiance is not a technological power user and internet speeds won't impact her efficiency, I was a little disappointed with this.

The remaining 3 stars are there because this product saved me the hassle of having to pay >= 100$ to a TRUSTED vendor for a replacement Airport Wireless Card and the hassle of having to disassemble the device, carefully remove antenna wires and those really frustrating copper caps that Apple keeps using and not really being able to tell if the card is defective on arrival or if it's just not seated properly. The device is cheap, works with Mac OS X, and besides the initial complication from set up, functionality seems pretty reliable for the foreseeable future until I replace the device for her later this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doubled speed of wi-fi downloads

Just as fast as using direct ethernet cable on downloads. Dell laptop has a built in wireless card that is only half as fast as this. No setup needed - just point your laptop to this adapter by shutting onboard card down. Nice and small.

It worked fine for a while then started having trouble connecting to wifi not it shows it is connected in Windows 10 but does not see any wifi networks. There is a link to go to the support page but there is no where to leave a request or an email address. I should have known better seeing it was chinese built.

I installed this in my 8yr old desktop to work with my new 5G router, worked perfectly! Installed and working in less than 30 seconds in Windows 10. Driver install file is on the device itself, easy and no issues. Can't beat this for the price!

wifi card on my PC had been flaky for months, it drove me mad. This dongle did exactly what it said it would, plug it in, load the software, configure the settings, and now the signal is fast and reliable. Took 10 minutes to set up, works with Windows 10. No more wifi stress. Very pleased.

I have not been using my laptop for ages because I think the WIFI was too finicky. However, since using this USB device I have had no issues. The WIFI signal has been very stable. And there was I thinking that I just need to upgrade my laptop.
