Excellent connectivity/throughput
I've tried this on a Chromebook, Macbooks, and various Windows machines. Great connectivity distance compared to internal wifi devices, solid throughput in noisy wifi environments, and the fact that it barely sticks out at all means I can leave it in the computer when I toss it into my bag, it doesn't hog space next to it, and there's almost nothing to 'catch' on (other...

Simple, fast installation
I installed this USB Wi-Fi adaptor on my Dell XPS running windows 7. The form factor is exactly what you'd expect and was easy enough to handle. It could be slightly smaller to avoid snags, but isn't any larger than, say, a logitech mouse receiver. The adapter can with the installation cd. Once I inserted the adapter, Windows tried to use a default driver (which didn't ...

Easy to use and works well
I have been using this WiFi adaptor for a few weeks now on different Windows computers with different wireless networks and have had almost no issues. The adaptor comes itself is pretty small but comes in a box big enough for 20 of them. The box is the same size as two Xbox game cases. There is nothing in the box but the USB dongle. The dongle is slightly bigger than th...

New Lease on Life for old laptop
I have an old laptop that I can’t seem to bring myself to recycle, but when the wireless stopped working I thought that was the end. It would have been too expensive (and not worth it) to repair, but this little USB Adapter did the trick. I installed the Drivers from the CD, plugged it in, and in no time had my old laptop back and un-tethered to a cable! It is so small ...

Good Product - Worked Right Away
Easiest way to add a wifi network adapter to a pc. Plugged it in, installed the drivers and it worked. Found my network immediately, entered my security key and the wifi signal strength was great. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Just what I needed!
I got a new wireless modem from my service provider that had the 5 GHz band. This is great if you have 5 GHz compatible devices to connect to your wireless network for faster speeds and less interference. My laptop only had the 2.4 GHz wireless card built into it so I bought this to increase my internet speeds. The device itself is really small and does not get in the w...

AC WIFI Easy to Use!
I have been working in the IT industry for many years and it is nice to see good quality easy to use products. The AC600 is an easy to use USB WIFI adapter. It is small and streamlined so it does not get in the way when sticking out of the USB port. I found the installation to be quite easy to easy with the supplied disk. I tested this unit with a 2010 MacBook pro with ...
