Fast and Reliable USB 2 Wireless Adapter

This is one of the fastest USB 2 Wireless adapters you can buy and it's really reliable. At first I had slow and dropping connections in the 5G AC band at around 25Mbps, but now the 5G AC connection is really fast with no dropouts after I managed to get the 5G AC band on the router right to configure. I now have about 200 Mbit/s. This is one of the best options for the money and will also work on Windows 10 if you download the latest driver.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Volume

Luckily the seller replaced the faulty receiver

I bought one of these a few months ago just in case I needed to use wireless wi-fi and had trouble with it when I first got it tested, network receiver keeps hanging up while reconnecting. The seller has now exchanged my item and sent a new one. The replacement works like clockwork, doesn't drop connection or freeze after 2 days 8 hours of use, with good speeds and ping. Works well. Thanks to the seller stepping in to replace the faulty item shows they care!

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • I'll add later

You get what you pay for - incredible speed but it works

At around $7 shipping I wasn't expecting much and it lived up to those expectations. Windows 10 automatically installed the driver and 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks were visible. The problem is on the 5GHz network with a stable signal, it only gets 35Mbps. My iPhone in the same place, on the same network, gets 200. I tried downloading drivers from Cable Matters but it seems the same driver/ to be the same version as Windows installed with identical performance. BUT. it works without the headache of…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Returns available

Works as well as you would expect from a USB Wi-Fi dongle.

Downloaded drivers from a separate computer to a USB drive and installed the drivers from the USB drive to the computer (I included the adapter for disc). Works as well as you would expect from a Wi-Fi USB dongle. I went from 30Mbps when connected to the rear I/O ports to 65Mbps when connected to the top I/O port. For comparison, my 2011 MBA shows 120Mbps when tested alongside. So there's about half the available speed available, but again this is a USB card versus an internal Wi-Fi card.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • No insurance
