I’ve had this thing for maybe…half a year or so and for the first month it worked great with great speeds. I now want to smash this thing with a hammer everyday of my life. It constantly disconnects and makes me listen to that stupid disconnect/reconnect noise constantly. I hate this thing with a burning passion and nothing fixes it. Driver updates do absolutely nothing to fix the problem, this thing is just straight trash.

For a novice, I figured it out and now have my WiFi always connected to my PC…

I received this a while ago and I love it!! It honestly works great and the size of it makes it special day to take! I recommend this to anyone who is looking for one! It’s small and compact, which is great!

I bought this and it barely works. I have to reset it every 10 minutes because it stops working. Buy yourself an ethernet cable. This was a waste of money.

I already owned a netgear router and needed a wireless adapter for my PC. Software is easy to use and it has a very fast connection even on hotel internet.

I hooked this up to my laptop which is really old. I used to only be able to use the 2G wi-fi on it but since I plugged this in I can now connect to the 5G, which is great. What I didn’t like about it was the fact that it came with a CD-ROM to install it like something from back in the 90s. I think a corresponding app would be a lot more efficient than installing a software. Otherwise I like it.
Wilma Dicki (verified owner) –
The setup is easy, and once it was up and running my speeds were really fast. Very convenient and worth the money.

Plug in and install the software. Easy squeezy.
Graham Schmitt (verified owner) –
I got it and it will sometimes disconnect from my pc while plugged in but works for now.
Mckayla Moen (verified owner) –
This definitely fits the description of portable wifi. I had to pull out an old computer to try this out since I thought all computers come with wifi! It also has dualband features which let’s me choose the speed and connections to avoid interference! This is super convenient and handy if you dont have onboard wifi in your rig. However, I do feel it might be best for a pc rig vs laptop. Its secure but if you are accident prone with portability like me it could get wrecked.

Is working very well. Was easy to install and to use.
Rupert Johnson (verified owner) –
It works well to add wifi to a computer that does not have wireless wifi capability.
