Old adapter would lose connection often right while in use. New NetGear adapter has not lost connection since installed 2 weeks ago.

Had this for about a year now iirc. Constantly disconnects, no matter what it is plugged into, no matter the USB port, no matter if the PC goes to sleep or stays awake. Randomly and at the worst times, drops connection and frequently requires to be unplugged and plugged back in before the device will see it.

The set up was extremely easy, load drivers and then if you have a netgear router press a connection button on usb/router , seem less connection. Have had no signal drops and total connection

My son was the one who insisted that we figure out a different method so that he can have Wi-Fi on his computer so I was able to get rid of the wire connected to my router and to my sons computer. My son

When this WiFi adapter works, it’s great. The issue is, in a 2 hour span, my adapter disconnects from my WiFi at least once, sometimes twice. It is very frustrating, and none of the troubleshooting I’ve completed have fixed the issue.

Works well in Windows and Linux but drops occasionally on Linux and I have to unplug and replug the device in.

It has increased my Wi-Fi range throughout my house

This Wifi adapter has been really helpful for me so far. I haven’t had any problems with setting it up and it works very well. I’m looking forward to getting to use it more now that I’m staying at home because of covid.

I’ve had absolutely no issues with this Wifi adapter. The signal is clear and strong– no worries and no problems.

we neededa better wifi solution for our tag and title computer. This air card provided us with what we need to keep going
Daniella Hauck (verified owner) –
I have no issues since I bought this product my wifi connection has been alot better
Urban Harris (verified owner) –
The problem with it more than anything else is that as soon as too much data comes in it disconnects. I’ll play D&D and use Zoom or Roll20 and it will disconnect 5 or 6 times in a session. Absolutely frustrating.
Aleen Murphy (verified owner) –
Very easy to install and works great at giving me the best reliable wireless connection possible to my wifi.
Elisabeth Larson (verified owner) –
Was everything I expected and super easy to install.
Danyka Murphy (verified owner) –
Worked well for what I needed but the adapter stopped working after 6 months. I called technical support and they are sending me a new one.

Bought this 2 months ago, and it has been awful for any kind of gaming ever since. Have the driver installed, verified I have no issue on wired connection. When using this product, however, I believe the product itself buffers network packets. Which means if you’re watching a video it’s no problem, and speed tests will all show high throughput. They don’t, however, show that it’s constantly stuttering in any multiplayer video game.

It work ok, I had issues with it, and had to sit on hold for 2 hours to get the issue fixed.
