USB WiFi works with Win 7
The Netgear USB WiFi works great. You need to download the A6150 WiFi driver from Netgear. It works with Win 7.

waste of money!
bought this electronic item because the wi-fi card stopped working on my computer. There is additional software to download for this to work and my computer wasn't able to complete the downloads. So now I'm stuck with this unreturnable item with a store warranty that I was talked into buying for additional insurance that I would be able to connect to the internet!!

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.

It Worked
The adapter made it possible for me to connect to wi-fi however the first instruction for installing it was to down load an ap. How the hell do you download an ap with no wi-fi?! I had to take it to my computer guy to make use of it.

Small adaptor, requires driver prior to plugin (win)
Requires driver download prior to installation, meaning you need access to internet. And Windows did not automatically install anything, even with a wired connection initially. And my box did not contain any installation media, which should have been included according to the manual.
And it needs a good reliable usb port, then it works and keeps a stable connection. It ...

Required software download plus activation fee.
Catch-22. Cannot download software without internet. Netgear support required activation fee.

Poor support on install an operation.
Downloaded drivers on to a usb drive because I am unable to make a connection to a router on my pc I’ve built at home to install the drivers directly. When I open the files, the program installs and then asks me to insert my adapter into the port for detection but after 5 mins of nothing happening, a box pops up saying netgear genie the — adapter is not found.

Good Product
When my internet was upgraded my machine was too old (Windows 7). I had to use a different computer to download the files to a thumbdrive which was very simple to do following the instructions. Loaded the software from the thumbdrive to the old computer plug in the device and was on the internet in a minute or two. Whole process took me about 5 or 10 minutes tops. ...

Couldn't get it to work
I couldn't get it to work ! I'm a retired computer builder and despite everything I tried Microsoft setup new router Microsoft troubleshooting updated drivers (error message always said potential driver problem) no wireless joy. All cellphones worked just fine wirelessly connected to router. Hooked up Ethernet cable and everything worked fine.

Does what it's supposed to
Don't generally buy Netgear equipment but had no choice. Needed an adapter pretty quick & couldn't wait for a delivery. However this unit did exactly what it's supposed to do. Wish Staples would carry other brands so I had a choice.

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
